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.

 * Both Inklings and Octolings hold their weapon forward before positioning it beside them like normal after shaking off excess ink.
 * 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.

Quotes
"Squid Research Lab Ballistics here with a weapon type that looks far more innocent than it is. Meet the brella! Open one up to defend against enemy barrages, then launch it right into their surprised faces. Brellas can also fire ink, of course. When it rains..."

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.
