Clash Blaster
TheClash Blaster is amain weapon inSplatoon 2 andSplatoon 3, manufactured byNeo. It is ablaster with a high rate of fire and large blast radius, but with low damage.
Description
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 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.
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'sink that resembles agun 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.

Now, it's not going to win any awards for power, but when you haveSplat 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 theTrizooka. Talk about a chaotic combo. If that sounds fun, this loadout is for you! |

The other two are theH-3 Nozzlenose D andCherry H-3 Nozzlenose, and theE-liter 4K Scope andCustom 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.
