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).

Data

The Splat Brella is a middleweight weapon.
The matchmaking range is 125. The game's matchmaking system looks at a team's average matchmaking range value, and matches them against a team with a similar average.
The Splat Brella's canopy has 500 HP.
- Brella canopies have different incoming damage multipliers for each weapon type.
The canopy takes 0.2 seconds to open.
The canopy does 30 damage to opponents on contact.
The canopy takes 2.03 seconds to be launched, and 6.5 seconds to return.
- The launched canopy initially travels at a speed of 1.32 units per frame. It remains on the stage for 5 seconds.
- After being launched, incoming damage to the canopy is multiplied by 0.5.
Each shot consumes 6.325% of the ink tank's capacity, allowing the player to fire 15 shots before needing to refill the ink supply.
- Holding long enough after firing to release the canopy uses 30% of the ink tank.
- So, 36.325% of the ink tank is used in total to release the canopy.
After firing, there is a 1 second cooldown before the ink tank starts refilling.

- The cooldown after holding open but not releasing the canopy is 0.33 seconds.
- The cooldown after releasing the canopy is 2 seconds.
When initially firing the weapon in humanoid form, the shot takes 8 frames to come out.
- When firing from swim form, the shot takes 15 frames to come out.
When firing continuously, it fires a round of pellets every 30 frames.
The interval between firing and when the player is able to enter swim form or use a sub weapon is 20 frames.
When firing while moving, the player's movement speed is set to 0.65 units per frame. While holding the brella open, the player's movement speed is set to 0.55 units per frame.
The Splat Brella fires 11 projectiles per shot. Each projectile can do between 10.8 and 16.2 damage. A maximum of 5 projectiles per shot will damage the opponent, so the maximum possible damage per shot is 81.
If a projectile is in the air for more than 8 frames after being fired, it loses 0.3375 damage per frame until it reaches 10.8 damage at frame 24.
Shots can deviate 6 degrees horizontally and 4 degrees vertically.
Shots initially travel straight at a rate of 26 units per frame for 3 frames. Shots travel straight for 78 distance units.
- After that, the projectile's velocity is set to 16.52 units if the projectile's velocity is not already lower than the listed value, and decreases further as it falls to the ground.

Quotes

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.

Data

The Splat Brella is a middleweight weapon.
The matchmaking range is 12.5. The game's matchmaking system looks at a team's average matchmaking range value, and matches them against a team with a similar average.
The Splat Brella has a canopy with 500 HP, and regenerates 2.5 HP per frame (150 HP per second) when the canopy is not active and not destroyed.
- Brella canopies have different incoming damage multipliers for each weapon type.
The canopy takes 12 frames to open (0.2 seconds).
The canopy does 30 damage on contact with a cooldown of 30 frames.
The canopy takes 122 frames to launch (2.03 seconds) and 5.5 seconds to regenerate.
- The canopy initially travels at a speed of about 0.132 units per frame, and remains onstage for 5 seconds. During this time, all damage to the shield is multiplied by 0.5.

Ink consumption is 5.5% per shot, allowing the user to fire 18 times with a full ink tank.
Once the canopy is fully open, it consumes 20% of the ink tank per second, requiring 30% of the tank to release.
After firing, there is a 60 frame (1 second) cooldown before the ink tank starts refilling.
- After holding but not releasing the canopy, there is a 20 frame (0.33 second) cooldown before the ink tank starts refilling.
- After releasing the canopy, there is a 120 frame (2 second) cooldown before the ink tank starts refilling.
When firing from humanoid form, the first shot takes 8 frames to come out. When firing from swim form, the first shot takes 15 frames to come out.

The time between consecutive shots is 30 frames.

The time between firing the weapon and being able to use a sub or enter swim form is 20 frames.

The movement speed while firing is 0.065 units per frame.
The movement speed while shielding is 0.055 units per frame.
Each pellet has a base damage of 16.2.

If a pellet is in the air for more than 8 frames after being fired, it will lose about 0.34 damage every frame until it reaches 10.8 damage at frame 24.
The maximum damage that can be dealt to a single target per shot is 81.
- It takes 5 pellets at 16.2 damage to deal 81 damage.

The centermost pellet's hitbox has a radius of 0.2 units.
- All other pellets' hitboxes have a radius of 0.1 units.

The Splat Brella fires 11 pellets per shot.
Pellets fly straight at 2.6 units per frame for 3 frames, covering a distance of 7.8 units.
- After that, the speed of the pellets is set to 1.652 units per frame if it is not already lower than the listed value, and they lose 36% of their speed every frame (including the first frame after they stop traveling straight). Once the velocity decreases below a certain threshold, they will begin to be slowed less and fall faster.
The effective range is about 10.62 units.
- This number may vary at different firing angles.
