“Switching prosthetic weapons will cause your umbrella to stop smoking”

Seems like a good thing tbh

[Shiftinggers]

Phoenix's Lilac Umbrella is the must-have prosthetic tool for people getting frustrated by the Shichimen Warriors or the Headless.
Now if you'll excuse me gentlemen...time to end my nightmares

You missed a few things about the umbrella.
- For the Phoenix Umbrella deflecting deals vitality damage with the fire element(a VERY small amount). This means successfully deflecting a red-eyes instantly puts them into their stagger.
- Projected force has 3 charge levels when blocking ranged attacks, indicated by increasingly loud sound cues and increasing amounts of steam. The higher the charge level the more damage it will do.
- in addition to blocking thrust attacks like you mentioned. Attacks that normally chip your health even if guarded, such as those done by Isshin, Emma and Issin's Elite, will not deal damage when using the Umbrella. It doesn't matter if you deflect or not, simply hiding behind the umbrella will block the damage.

Suzaku's Lotus Umbrella is OP against the Demon of Hatred. It makes the fiery attacks much more manageable and projected force does significant damage.

I want to show the audio only of these videos to people without context.
For example: "If you swap prosthetic tools, your umbrella will quit smoking."

The loaded umbrella is the easy mode they were looking for.

[csalakrisztian]

Well structured, informative and useful. Keep up the good content !

[bookkoob]

it can also block grab attacks, so the only thing can hurt your umbrella is a sweeping attack

Which is OP af

[jumpandshootman]

So basically its the best prosthetic in the game. As I thought. The umbrella has become integral to my overall playstyle. I always have that and shuriken equipped. The third is often swapped for something when I need it.

[Flameshadow]

Good overview of the umbrella. Only thing I'd add is the interaction with kuro's charm:
If you play without it, the umbrella does NOT block chip damage from enemy attacks, only if you get hit during its parry frames, like the normal block. Does make it quite a bit weaker unfortunately, especially VS demon of hatred.

[House_of_Green]

You can shoot projectiles? Wtf?! I had no idea lol

[sirballen]

An interesting additional tidbit is that the flames, which flash when activating the fire-based umbrella stun red eyed enemies (like the chained ogre) the same way the flame vent does, at a third of the cost.

[platonicdescartes]

The umbrella is sneaky amazing. There are several bosses and mini-bosses that it makes quite a bit easier, even up to NG+7. I never use it to turtle, but the fire and terror resistance combined with the R1 attack after a block makes it a great tool.

[alejandrolievano]

This is the one of the coolest tools but always have trouble using it. Thanks for the video! I had no idea it can shoot back projectiles!!

[cynicalsaint]

Suzaku's Lotus Umbrella will make the Red Eyed Ashina Elite guy you can fight near the end of the game cower everytime you deflect him with.

Any Umbrella will block Snake Eyes' grab, as well as the Headless Ape's scream.

[swords]

I had no clue that using projected force dispelled weapon buffs. This pissed me off to no end when fighting Headless as I could never figure out why my confetti got dispelled in 10 seconds.

[keyboardwarrior]

You missed 2 most important use of of the umbrella i think.
1. It blocks all piercing attacks. Including attacks done from sheathed stance (those are piercing by default according to one of the loading screens).
2. Some attacks like demon of hatreds stomp, owls chasing slice etc will stagger/knock you back even if you deflect them with sword(the animation where sekiro stabs the ground with sword to stop knockback). If you deflect them with umbrella you dont get staggered or knocked back.

[yukkuribeni]

Another useful thing is that when you use it to parry a particularly strong attack, like the last hit of Corrupted Monk's 5-hit spin combo, you suffer no lag and can immediately counter attack. It's my go to prosthetic for that reason.

It’s funny because I’m trying to Platinum the game and have done numerous playthroughs but have NEVER used this tool. I need to learn how. I have all the necessary stuff for it as I have all upgrades. I’m happy I watched this and thanks for the video. Gonna learn how to use this!

[themoojuice]

These vids are gold. Thanks for taking the time to do this.
