basically this could end up being an offbrand burst bomb, which i think actually works kinda well on this thing. having the option to deal just a little more damage very quickly before/after shooting is at least something vbrella would greatly appreciate right now. Weve never had a 1 shot combo like this on a brella. if it deals enough damage for dart cancelling to be a 1 shot combo i can kinda see it being strong. Its at least not a useless combo like on vpro, and the fact that its shield launch + kinda long range can probably get you in decently well means the lack of a bomb isnt a huge deal. this weapon launches shield much faster with much less ink, and it seems like itd fare better in a fight when it doesnt have its shield up because of the long range (compared to vbrella), quick fire rate (compared to tent), and (seemingly) consistent damage. tent can do all of this as well but the shield is overall much more committal, taking a lot of resources to launch and leaving you pretty vulnerable. id imagine spamming it would get you a lot of free paint for special too. id imagine sitting in one spot and spamming shield launches into enemy space would be really strong in neutral, using the fact that you could be swimming behind it to force them to at least pay attention to the shield you just launched. I feel like this thing would able to spam shield launches into an area better than tent can.

(it might even be a reference to that, hence the name) the whole thing reminds me of the time in s2 when tent was buffed so it could cycle shield infinitely. it also comes back really quickly, to the point where you can basically have your shield back up by the time it breaks. it moves super fast and paints a pretty wide trail. While the shield itself is pretty weak, the shield launch seems like a very strong option.

it seems to have around the same range and damage of tent (though without the close range 1 shot) and a fire rate a little slower than vbrella. it cant stall with shield quite like vbrella can, but it can still flare it to parry shots, since you still have about 1 second of shielding to work with. Its shield launches much more quickly than vbrella, like tent, but it also comes out quickly, like vbrella. Im seeing a lot of people dismiss this thing right off the bat but after seeing gameplay, hear me out: i think it's gonna be pretty good.Īt its core, this looks like a fusion between vbrella and tent.
