Rapid Blaster
The Rapid Blaster is a Main Weapon in Splatoon.
Description
The Rapid Blaster is a Shooter that is similar to the Blaster, but is much faster and has an impressive range, the longest out of all Blaster-type weapons. However, this comes at the cost of less Ink coverage, a smaller blast radius, and weaker shots, making it the only Blaster that cannot splat an enemy with one direct hit. It uses a laser effect when fired, and is in a set with the Ink Mine and Bubbler.
“ | Mitigates the weaknesses of the regular Blaster by giving up a little shot power for a better rate of fire. | ” |

Notes
“ | It takes two hits from the Rapid Blaster to splat your opponents, but you'll need to get in close to score direct hits. Bubbler is essential for surviving these close-quarter encounters. Special Charge Up, Special Duration Up, and the Special Saver abilities let you activate Bubbler with greater frequency. | ” |
