Splat Brella
The Splat Brella is a main weapon in Splatoon 2 and Splatoon 3.
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 two 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 few seconds.
Appearance
In Splatoon 2, the Splat Brella has a black handle with blue highlights with the Sorella logo on it. The canopy is red and white with sections that change color to match the user's ink. The canopy also has Sorella logos and stylized seahorse designs.
In Splatoon 3, the weapon has a new design. The logo on the handle is replaced by the Foil logo and parts of the canopy that change color to match the user's ink has been changed to occupy most of the canopy, although the canopy still has Sorella logos (albeit in altered positions).

Sheldon's Introduction
This here is the Splat Brella. It features a completely different fighting style than any other weapon type. You can scatter ink in front of you with ! But if you keep holding , your umbrella will open up, shielding you from enemy attacks! Furthermore, if you hold even longer, you can launch the umbrella shield, and it'll zoom forward while blocking attacks! The Sprinkler sub weapon and the Ink Storm special further enhance your support capabilities. This is a great set for getting your head around the brella! |
“ | 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 Sprinkler sub weapon and the Ink Storm special... to rain on opponents' parade. | ” |

Sheldon's Introduction
Umbrellas help you stay dry, but Splat Brellas do that and more - like coat the battlefield and any enemies in your path with ink! Let me explain. You can spray ink normally with . But if you HOLD , the brella will open like a shield! And if you hold even longer, you'll launch the brella itself. It leaves a trail of ink, can damage enemies, and STILL protects you. It's a triple threat! Speaking of triples, this set also comes with the Triple Inkstrike and the Sprinkler sub, so I guess you could say it's got you covered. |
“ | This is the Splat Brella, which performs well in a variety of defensive positions. Users can wield the umbrella portion to fend off attacks from in front, but that leaves them open from the sides and back. Watch your behind! | ” | — @SplatoonNA on Twitter[2]

Trivia
- The Splat Brella is the only weapon with the "Splat" prefix not made by the "Splat" brand. This is probably due to a mistranslation since its original Japanese name lacks the Japanese equivalent of the "Splat" prefix (スプラ) Splat-branded weapons use.
- This weapon was playable in Octo Canyon as the Hero Brella before it was playable online. Even completing all stages with it would not unlock the Hero Brella Replica until it was released online.
- This is one of the weapons available to use in the Splatoon 3 Splatfest World Premiere.
