Luna Blaster

The Luna Blaster is a main weapon in the Splatoon series, created by Neo.

Like other blasters, the Luna Blaster fires an explosive round that lets it deal damage to opponents hiding behind obstacles or around corners. It takes one direct hit or two indirect hits to splat an opponent, but shooting the opponent directly rather than relying on the blast takes careful and precise aim due to the weapon's low firing rate. However, out of all blasters that can splat opponents in one direct hit (Luna Blaster, Blaster, Range Blaster), the Luna Blaster actually has the largest blast size and fastest fire rate, but the shortest range.

Appearance

The Luna Blaster's main body is round and smooth with a hole at the end to let out blaster shots. The back half is white, while the front half changes color to match the user's ink in both games. The back half houses a handhold with the trigger on it. Sticking out of the back of the Luna Blaster is a ball on the end of a thin stick (white in Splatoon, matches the user's ink color in Splatoon 2 and Splatoon 3), and an attachment that is similar but bigger (matches the user's ink color in Splatoon, white in Splatoon 2 and Splatoon 3) is placed above the hole in the front. In Splatoon, there is a Neo logo written in Inkling on the back half. In Splatoon 2, the text is replaced by a faint Neo logo icon. In Splatoon 3, the parts of its shell that match the user's ink color are now semi transparent, revealing its internal components. The Neo logo is replaced by small text in gray.

Quotes

Sheldon's Introduction The Luna Blaster is a specialized shooter that can unleash explosive power at close range! Its rate of fire is good, and its blasts cover a wide area, but you'll need the Inkzooka to hit far-off foes. Oh, and the Ink Mines can really make a difference in the right hands, so this set is perfect for veterans!(NA)

“

A blaster tailored to close-quarters combat. It fires a shot that detonates powerfully at close range, and the Inkzooka special can help handle opponents who are farther away.

“

A Blaster tailored to close-quarters combat. It fires a shot that detonates powerfully at close range. The Inkzooka can be used to handle opponents who are further away.

”

— In-game Description(EU/OC)

“

What it lacks in range, it more than makes up for in fire rate and explosive impact. This blaster-type weapon is perfect for getting up close and personal. For far away foes, build up that special gauge and blast 'em with an Inkzooka, or ruin their day with a surprise Ink Mine!

Quotes

Sheldon's Introduction The Luna Blaster may look cute, but its short-range exploding ink shots pack a serious wallop. It's got a decent fire rate but lacks range, so it comes with Splat Bombs to keep your opponents right where you want 'em. The final blast the Baller special provides is huge, too. Think about the map terrain around you when it's time to blow!

Quotes

Sheldon's Introduction The Luna Blaster may look cute, but its short-range exploding ink shots pack a serious wallop. If you find that your enemies are dancing just outside that range, toss a few Splat Bombs to keep 'em on their toes. And for the ones sniping you from FAR away, fire up the Zipcaster, sneak behind 'em, and... well, you know what to do from there. Really, this set is ideal for players who want to read the terrain and react to their opponents' moves.

“

Next is the Luna Blaster. With a rapid fire rate and explosive ink coverage, it's great for close combat. And it's see-through! We hear the new design is so hot that it's hard to find at stores. Our intern assures us that she didn't walk straight past it. But it IS see-through...
