Umbrellas! Umbrellas! Get your half-off umbrellas!

The Umbrella is a pre-Hardmode shortsword and held item. It can be found in surface Chests and can also be purchased for 1 GC from the Skeleton Merchant during a Waning Gibbous.

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

Its best modifier is Legendary.

Notes

  • The Umbrella can only hit a finite amount of targets per use, determined by its use time (2 targets with long use time and 3 targets with short use time).
  • When attacking with the Umbrella midair, the player's fall will no longer be slowed for the duration of the attack.
  • It is not necessary to hold out the Umbrella for the entirety of the fall. It can be pulled out in the last seconds before touching the ground and still instantly prevents fall damage.
  • Although the Umbrella's effect is similar to the Featherfall's effect, they are not the same effect and thus can be stacked with each other.[1] However, the Umbrella only slightly changes the fall speed when paired with the Featherfall effect.

Tips

  • 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 Shield of Cthulhu, enemies can be attacked while floating down.

Trivia

  • Use of an umbrella in place of a parachute to slow a fall is a common comedic trope.
  • Despite being an umbrella, it has no effect against the Angry Nimbus.

History

  • Desktop 1.4.0.1: Can now be used as a weapon in addition to the original function.
