Splat Brella

The Splat Brella is a Main Weapon in Splatoon 2. It was released on August 12th, 2017 at.

Description
The weapon's shots resemble that of a Shotgun; it has wide spread and short range, but not as wide and short-ranged as a Roller. The player can press and hold to open the umbrella, which will shield the player from any attacks in the direction they are facing. If the player continues to hold for about 2 seconds, the umbrella will separate from the weapon and fly forward, becoming a fast-moving shield that the player can use to penetrate enemy defenses. Once separated, the player will not be able to use the umbrella's opening function for a while.

"It features a completely different combat style than any other weapon type. Inklings can use it to scatter ink before them by firing. However, by holding the button, the umbrella will open up and shield them from enemy attacks. But if that wasn’t enough, holding even longer will launch the umbrella shield, blocking attacks as it zooms ahead. Completing this set is the  sub weapon and the  special…to rain on opponents’ parade."
