Brella
Brellas are one of the main weapon classes in the Splatoon series.
Brellas fire a narrow cone-shaped spray of ink each time the weapon is fired. If the player holds down , the brella will unfold, providing a protective shield that is capable of absorbing enemy attacks while taking damage in the process. 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.
Brellas were first introduced in Splatoon 2.

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... | ” | — @SplatoonNA on Twitter[1]

Shield mechanics
- Brella shields have different incoming damage multipliers for each weapon type.[2]
- 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.[3]
- 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.
