Umbrella



The Umbrella is a held item, and on, a melee weapon as well. It can be found in surface chests and in Wooden Crates. When held, the Umbrella appears above the character and allows the player to fall at a slower rate. It replicates the effect of the Featherfall Potion and prevents fall damage.

Its best modifier is Legendary.

Tips

 * The Umbrella is very useful when doing a multi-jump with a bottle accessory (e.g. Cloud in a Bottle) and other accessories that increase jump height.
 * Keeping the Umbrella in the hotbar for quick access can be life-saving for unexpectedly long falls.
 * The Umbrella is highly effective when falling with a high horizontal speed, e.g. with the maximum speed of a Minecart. Riding off the edge of a suspended Minecart Track while holding an Umbrella facilitates traveling very long horizontal distances. If the rail is high enough, distances reaching even halfway across the map can be traveled.
 * With the, enemies can be attacked while floating down.
 * Since it is possible to attack with the Umbrella mid-fall, in order to increase speed going down without being too fast, the player may attack while falling.

Trivia

 * Use of an Umbrella in place of a parachute to slow a fall from a great height is a common comedic trope.
 * Having an Umbrella in the first inventory slot will cause the arm of a character's selection sprite to be in the up position as if it were holding an umbrella.
 * Despite being an umbrella, it has no effect against the Angry Nimbus.
 * This weapon's abilities could be seen as a reference to the Parasol Ability from the Kirby Franchise.
