For themain weapon type, seeBlaster (weapon class).

TheBlaster is amain weapon in theSplatoon series, created byCustom. As its name suggests, it is a "blaster", a type of weapon that blasts rounds ofink that explode shortly after.

Description

When pressing, the weapon shoots specialink rounds that burst like fireworks after traveling a certain distance. These bursts can deal damage in a wide area, allowing its user to attack opponents hiding behind obstacles and around corners. The explosive round does enough damage to splat opponents with only one direct hit or two indirect hits. Its fire rate is faster than that of theRange Blaster, and slower than that of theLuna Blaster.

Appearance

The Blaster's appearance is based on the idea of a"hot rod", or custom, car. The rear of the weapon is a spray can, the kind of spray can that would be used to custom-paint a car. The middle of the weapon exposes the internals of the weapon as if to make it easier for the owner to tweak and maintain any custom parts inside. The exposed spring resembles the coil springs in carsuspensions. The front of the weapon features a flame design characteristic of custom-painted cars, which is painted on an object that resembles amuffler.

As ofSplatoon 3, the front of the weapon also features a handle, resembling ones seen on paint cans. Plus, the weapon has new animations: a lever on the left that pulls downwards, as well as the spring located in the center of the weapon that "throws" the front part of the weapon forward. These two animations occur with every shot.

    Quotes

    		Sheldon's Introduction

    TheBlaster main in this set is a relative of theshooter family, but it fires balls of ink that explode in midair! It's a bit lacking in the range and fire-rate departments, but when it hits...it HITS. Even near misses deal damage thanks to the ink explosion! Pin the enemy down with theToxic Mist sub, then hit 'em like BLAM! If they escape the mist, drop the hammer on 'em withSplashdown! This high-octane set is perfect for battlers who like to bring it on!

    • The damage on direct hit is 125.
    • Targets within 1.11 units of the explosion center always take 70 damage. Targets outside of this radius but inside the full blast radius of 3.47 units will take between 70 and 50 damage, depending on how close to the center they are.

      • After that, the shot's velocity is set to 0.9131 units per frame if it is not already lower than the listed value, and it loses 36% of its speed every frame (including the first frame after it stops traveling straight). Once the shot velocity decreases below a certain threshold, it will begin to be slowed less and fall faster.
    • The bullet explodes 13 frames after being fired, covering a total distance of about 10.14 units.
      • This number may vary at different firing angles.

    Quotes

    		Sheldon's Introduction

    What can I say about theBlaster other than... it blasts. HARD. When those balls ofink explode, they can even tag enemies hiding behind walls. Now, the range isn't great, and the rate of fire leaves a little to be desired, but you can always coax an enemy out of hiding with anAutobomb, can't you? On the other hand, if you're getting charged, that's when it's time to break out theBig Bubbler. Basically, if YOU want to be the one controlling the action, this is the loadout for you.

    “Slow Firing Rate, Big Power
    A basic model that fires exploding ink shots. What it lacks in range and rate of fire it makes up for in power: any direct hits you land are going to deal a huge amount of damage.    		”

    Super Smash Bros. Ultimate

    The Blaster appears asInkling's up smash attack inSuper Smash Bros. Ultimate, alongside a variety of otherweapons that Inkling uses in their attacks.

    When attacking, Inkling charges up their attack and fires the Blaster upwards to deal damage to opponents above them. This attack has a large radius, much like the blaster in theSplatoon franchise, and can sometimes deal damage to opponents around Inkling if they're close enough. This also coats opponents inink, as do most of Inkling's attacks, but does not ink the ground. It deals much lower damage if Inkling is out of ink.
