• Internal Item ID: 4707 (Desktop, Console and Mobile versions)

A player falling using the Tragic Umbrella and attacking a Target Dummy. Note how fall speed increases while attacking midair.

The Tragic Umbrella is a held item and melee weapon which can be purchased from the Clothier for 10 GC while in a Graveyard. It functions exactly like the standard Umbrella, aside from dealing higher melee damage.

While held, the Tragic Umbrella appears above the character, allowing them to fall at a slower rate than normal and preventing fall damage. The player can hold ▼ Down to increase the fall speed.

Its best modifier is Legendary.

Notes

• The Tragic Umbrella is underwhelming compared to the Umbrella, although its damage is slightly higher than the Umbrella's. By the time it becomes available (after defeating Skeletron), players usually already possess an accessory that negates fall damage or a regular Umbrella, and there are numerous post-Skeletron weapons that have higher damage.
• When attacking with the Tragic Umbrella midair, the player's fall will no longer be slowed for the duration of the attack.
• Although the Tragic Umbrella's effect is similar to the Featherfall's effect, they are not the same effect and thus can be stacked with each other. However, the Tragic Umbrella only slightly changes the fall speed when paired with the Featherfall effect.

Trivia

• This item is likely a reference to a funeral umbrella, an umbrella that undertakers use to cover celebrants at a funeral with when it rains. This is due to its appearance and the fact it can only be purchased in a Graveyard.
