Sheldon's Introduction
I created the Kelp Splat Charger based on my grandpappy's blueprints. Cool seaweed design, right? Though, if I'm honest, it's exactly the same as the Splat Charger in stats. But this set comes with the Sprinkler to ink hard-to-reach locations while you hold a strategic position! And the Killer Wail will blow all of your opponents away! Use it well to turn the tide of battle! |

Trivia
- Both this weapon and the Bento Splat Charger were absent from Splatoon 2, likely in favor of the Firefin Splat Charger and Kensa Charger being the new second and third variants respectively for the Splat Charger.

Notes
- ↑ These are the values used by the game for damage scaling; numbers in this range are not necessarily guaranteed to be possible to achieve in-game. For example, 100 is overridden by the full charge damage value, so it will never be seen in-game.
