Brella



Brellas are one of the main weapon types in the Splatoon series. They were first introduced in Splatoon 2. Brellas fire a narrow cone-shaped spray of ink each time the trigger is pulled. If the player holds down the trigger, the brella will unfold, providing a protective shield that will absorb enemy attacks. The shield can be broken if enough ink is fired at it. If the player holds down the trigger even longer, the brella will detach from the main weapon and propel itself in the direction it is aimed, inking the ground as it travels. It will still protect anyone behind it from enemy fire until it vanishes, but the shield will be disabled for a short time after it is launched.

List of brellas
Note: The series are arranged by the order of their respective Tableturf Battle cards.

Splatoon 2
Spawning in before a match starts:
 * Both Inklings and Octolings hold their weapon forward before positioning it beside them like normal after shaking off excess ink.

Victory:
 * Inklings: Holds their Brella like a cane before twirling it in a circle and then poses with its shield open and spins it periodically.
 * Octoling Girl: Floats down with the shield open until landing on the ground to close it and proceeds to play the weapon like a guitar.
 * Octoling Boy: Similar to the Octoling Girl's, but the guitar pose is different.

Defeat:
 * Inklings: Similar to their Splatling animation, but with the Brella's shield open and poses differing between genders.
 * Octoling Girl: Slides hand down brella and collapses dropping the umbrella and rubbing her head.
 * Octoling Boy: Similar to the octoling girl's but, shakes his head instead.

In Ammo Knights (Clicking ):
 * Inkling Girl: Inspects brella for a second taps, her hand with it a few times, and the opens it looks inside and closes it.
 * Inkling Boy: Same as inkling girl.
 * Octoling Girl: Opens the brella and looks inside then, closes it.
 * Octoling Boy: Same as octoling girl.

Splatoon 3

 * All styles: Smiles while holding the Brella with their hands on their hips.

Victory:
 * Flip Out: Picks up the weapon's base while folded, swings it with force in the style of a golf club, then throws it into the air and rests their hands on it when it lands.

Shield mechanics

 * Brella shields have different incoming damage multipliers for each weapon type.
 * After being launched, the shield takes half the normal damage from enemy attacks.
 * The shield absorbs Rainmaker shots, taking damage from them but not allowing them to explode. This is not the case for bombs, which will explode on impact, dealing damage to anything in front of the shield.
 * The shield is unaffected by Object Shredder. No additional damage will be dealt.
 * The Sting Ray and Ink Storm ignore the shield, dealing damage directly to the player.
 * A released shield can break Ink Armor and Sprinklers on impact.
 * A released shield will break if it touches a Splash Wall, another brella shield, the Rainmaker shield, or the Spawn point barrier.
