Clash Blaster



The Clash Blaster is a main weapon in Splatoon 2 and Splatoon 3.
Appearance
The Clash Blaster's main body is a light navy blue and shaped a bit like a pencil sharpener. Surrounding it is a ring of crayons that change color to match the user's ink that resembles a gun belt. Coming down from the body is a metal trigger and a handhold with black padding. Sticking out of the front of the body is a flat, rectangular, metal part that delivers the shots. Atop this part is a sight the same color as the body.

The Clash Blaster fires at a short range, and at very high speed, but takes two direct hits to splat an opponent; from afar it takes around four hits. The design appears to use crayon-like objects. The Clash Blaster behaves as a pressure-based weapon. Compared to other blasters, which require a direct hit for quick splats, the Clash Blaster fires more rapidly, increasing mobility and turf coverage. The Splat Bomb sub weapon complements standard fire by offering the ability to corner opponents and weaken opponents for faster splats. The Sting Ray can be used to pressure opponents outside of its range and refills the player's ink tank.
It appears in two Octo Expansion Stations:
- G09 B05 Wack 8-Ball Station
- J07 Outrageous Station

Sheldon's Introduction
You know how blasters tend to have a low rate of fire? Not the Clash Blaster! Its speedy shots are great for keeping foes at bay! Damage output has been decreased to compensate for improved rapid fire, but Splat Bombs will help you take it to your foes in a major way! Opponents keeping their distance? Reach out and touch 'em with the Sting Ray! If you like causing chaos on the front lines, this set's for you! |

Sheldon's Introduction
You know how blasters tend to have a low rate of fire? Not the Clash Blaster! Its speedy shots are great for keeping foes at bay! Now, it's not going to win any awards for power, but when you have Splat Bombs to corner your enemies, it'll get the job done. And if an opponent still manages to slip away? That's when you trash 'em with the Trizooka. Talk about a chaotic combo. If that sounds fun, this loadout is for you! |

Trivia
- The Clash Blaster's design is likely based on a mechanical pencil sharpener, hence the crayons.
- The Clash Blaster is one of the only three weapons to be unlocked simultaneously with its alternate kit, the Clash Blaster Neo. The other two are the H-3 Nozzlenose D and Cherry H-3 Nozzlenose, and the E-liter 4K Scope and Custom E-liter 4K Scope. It however remains as the only completely unique weapon.
- This is due to the Clash Blaster being unlocked at Level 30, which is the highest level for unlocking weapons.
- This weapon is tied with the Squeezer, Dynamo Roller, and Custom Jet Squelcher for the cheapest Sting Ray in Splatoon 2 with 180p.
