Zap Splasher is a Friend Ability present in Kirby Star Allies. To perform it, two characters must take part, with one having the Water ability (Water Kirby or Driblee), and the other having an ability which gives the Zap element (primarily Plasma, Beam or ESP).
The Water-wielding actor must either hold ↑ or activate Geyser / Fountain Hover while the other ally throws a Zap-causing attack into the Water ally. Done correctly, bolts of lightning will arc out the other side which can deal large damage to enemies (and the Water user will automatically use the Geyser attack beforehand if via holding ↑). This can be kept up for as long as both actors keep using their moves.
