Which Splatoon 2 weapon class is based on umbrellas?

The Splatoon 2 weapon class based on umbrellas is Brellas. These shotgun-like weapons combine ink spraying with a folding canopy that can shield the player from incoming attacks.

Brella weapons were introduced in Splatoon 2 alongside Dualies, making them one of that sequel’s signature additions. Their defining gimmick is the deployable canopy: after opening it, players can use it as temporary cover, while some models can launch the canopy forward as a moving shield.

The class name is sometimes confused with a specific weapon, such as the Splat Brella, Undercover Brella, or Tenta Brella. Those are individual weapons within the broader Brella class. By contrast, Brushes are close-range painting weapons, Splatlings are charge-based heavy guns, and Dualies are paired pistols with dodge rolls.

Brella designs also differ substantially in durability, spread, mobility, and shield behavior. That variety makes the class more than a simple umbrella parody: it gives Splatoon 2 players a defensive playstyle that is unlike the weapon classes carried over from the first game.
