Quotes

Sheldon's Introduction The Clash Blaster Neo offers the same functionality of the original while sporting a hot new look. This set comes with Curling Bombs for closing the distance quickly. They work well with the quick action of the main weapon! If far-off foes are giving you grief, see how they like your Tenta Missiles. This set is great for players who like to go on the attack while also watching their teammates' backs.

Sheldon's Introduction The Clash Blaster Neo offers the same functionality as the original Clash Blaster... but with a fresh new look and a redeveloped loadout! First, you've got Curling Bombs to help you glide across the map toward your enemies. You know what to do when you get there, right? And just when they're onto you, you can fire off the Super Chump to send a bunch of exploding Super Jump decoys into the mix. This is a balanced set that can help you pull off some flashy victories. Give it a try!

Trivia

• Before being officially announced, the Clash Blaster Neo appeared in the Splatoon 2 version 3.0 preview section of the Nintendo Direct on 8 March 2018.
  • It was shown to come with Burst Bombs and Tenta Missiles. However, later datamining and the final release have shown the weapon to come with Curling Bombs, in contradiction to the video.
• In Splatoon 2, the Clash Blaster Neo is one of the only three weapons to be unlocked simultaneously with its alternate kit, the Clash Blaster. The other pairs 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 is no longer true in Splatoon 3, since the Clash Blaster Neo is unlocked three levels after the Clash Blaster.
