Recycled Brella 24 Mk I
A Brella with a very flimsy canopy that regrows fast, plus a tight, powerful shotgun blast (up to 90 damage). The canopy isn't a shield for tanking hits. The basic idea is to keep launching canopies quickly to soak up enemy attention and shots, then strike first and go for a two-shot splat (or a combo with Angle Shooter on the Mk I).

Best stages / Worst stages
Strengths
- The pellets cluster on one spot, so hitting the full 90 damage is easy, and it still does high damage at max range or with arcing shots
- The canopy comes back very fast at about 2.2 seconds and launching it costs little ink, so you can send canopies out again and again
- It has the fastest open-to-launch of any Brella, and the launched canopy leaves a thick paint trail you can use as a decoy, a path or to stall
- Even the fragile canopy can block one big hit like a bomb or a fully charged Charger shot, making enemies waste ink
- High object damage, so it's great at dealing with Splash Walls, Big Bubblers and Wave Breakers
Watch out for
- Before launching, the canopy is even weaker than the Undercover Brella's and gets popped easily by fast-firing weapons
- Its solo time-to-kill is slower than a typical frontline weapon, and because the pellets are so tight, damage swings a lot if your aim is off
- When several enemies surround you, the canopy can't regrow fast enough
- The Mk I's sub and special don't paint, and its main weapon doesn't paint much either
Tips
- Keep launching canopies to pull enemy attention and bait mistakes. But if you overdo it, you won't have a canopy (or ink) when a fight starts
- Land 90 damage first, then pop the canopy open for a moment to block their return fire, and shoot back right away
- Use opening and closing the canopy against short-range weapons, Blasters and Dualies, and launches against long-range weapons, Chargers and Splatlings
- Don't launch from behind a teammate (a bomb thrown at your canopy can splat them with its blast)
