===Use===
* While its build has some supportive elements, the Neo Splash-o-matic is primarily a slayer's weapon:
** Its near-perfect accuracy and high rate of fire makes it very efficient at splatting opponents within its range
** Its lightweight nature and Burst Bombs make it very mobile, more so than the Splash-o-matic in the original ''Splatoon''. [[Swim Speed Up]] can further help either close the distance towards an opponent or flee from an unfavorable matchup.
** Like most slayer's weapons, it can benefit from abilities that encourage aggressive play, such as [[Comeback]], [[Quick Respawn]], and [[Stealth Jump]].
* The rapid firing rate and excellent ink coverage of the Neo Splash-o-matic make it an excellent turfing weapon, allowing it to more easily maintain [[Community Glossary#Map control|map control]], capture [[Splat Zones]], and build up the [[special gauge]].
* The primary weaknesses of the Neo Splash-o-matic is its lack of both damage and range.
** [[Main Power Up]] can increase the damage of the Neo Splash-o-matic, capping off at 33.3 with 31 [[ability point]]s — reached with either one [[Community Glossary#Main and Sub|main]] and seven subs or two mains and four subs. If this is too high an investment, 10 ability points, or one main, is enough to exceed 30 damage.
** [[Sub Power Up]] can increase the throwing range, compensating for the short range of the Neo Splash-o-matic.
** [[Community Glossary#Sharking|Sharking]] and [[Ninja Squid]] can help sneak up close to opponents to offset the Neo Splash-o-matic's short range.
* The instant explosion and good ink efficiency of Burst Bombs offer plenty of uses:
** Quickly turfing various inkable surfaces for quick maneuvering and building of the [[Special gauge]].
** Either leading off attacks before attacking with the main weapon or finishing off damaged opponents who try to flee.
* When used at the right time, the Suction-Bomb Launcher can turn the tide of a battle:
** Either capturing or holding onto a zone while forcing opponents away from the zone.
** Either leading or stopping a [[Tower Control|Tower]], [[Rainmaker]], or [[Clam Blitz|Power Clam]] push by clearing opponents out of the way.
** Quickly popping the [[Rainmaker (weapon)|Rainmaker]]'s shield to instantly start or restart a Rainmaker push.
 
===Countermeasures===
* Having shorter range and weaker damage than most slayer's weapons, the Neo Splash-o-matic would be at a disadvantage against most typical slayer's weapons:
** All variants of the [[Splattershot]], the [[L-3 Nozzlenose]], and the [[Splattershot Pro]] outrange the Neo Splash-o-matic.
** Blasters and [[Roller]]s, while having ranges comparable to the Neo Splash-o-matic, can still overpower it.
* Any mid-ranged or long-ranged weapon, such as [[Charger]]s and [[Splatling]]s, can fire upon the Neo Splash-o-matic with impunity unless the latter gets close, at which the tables can turn.
* To prevent sharking, keep track of all four members of the opposing team – particularly which ones have neither been splatted nor super jumped to their [[spawn point]] – and turf suspicious puddles of enemy ink, preferably with a sub weapon. [[Point Sensor]]s, while unable to turf, expose any sharking opponents and make them easier targets for long-ranged teammates.
* [[Splashdown]] and [[Booyah Bomb]], if timed properly, can negate the Suction Bombs of a Suction-Bomb Rush.  A counter Bomb Launcher can nullify the effects of Suction-Bomb Rush, preventing its user's team from either capping a zone or continuing a push.

Etymology

Neo Splash-o-matic is derived from Splash and Automatic, plus the prefix Neo, Ancient Greek for new. The prefix Neo is also used to differentiate it from the Splash-o-matic. This trait is shared among the other alternate sets of the Neo brand. The -o-matic suffix is also a common, cliché naming convention for technological gadgets.

シャープマーカーネオ shāpu mākā neo references the pen-based appearance of the Neo Splash-o-matic. Like the English name, Neo is also used to differentiate it from Sharp Marker.
