Tenta Brella CRE-M

Brellas · Sub: Toxic Mist · Special: Super Chump

A heavyweight Brella that can instantly launch its big, sturdy canopy and advance behind it like a moving shield. It can splat with a single blast at point-blank range, but everything it does is slow, so it's not the type to rack up splats on its own. It helps win by drawing enemy attention with the canopy, pushing the Tower, Rainmaker and clams, and supporting teammates.

Role: Frontline wall and objective player (pushes the front with launched canopies and protects teammates) · Difficulty: hard

Strengths

The canopy is durable and gets even tougher after launching, so you can push the front while blocking long-range fire
A center hit up close is a one-shot splat, and the damage doesn't drop as the shot falls, so arcing shots behind ledges still chip enemies
A launched canopy paints a wide area under it and can block narrow paths, forcing enemies back
The canopy and Ink Vac make it easy to protect a teammate carrying an objective, so it's great for pushing the Tower, Rainmaker and clams
The canopy blocks Charger and Splatling fire well, so those weapons aren't much of a threat

Watch out for

Shooting, guarding and launching are all slow, so enemies can punish the recovery time
The canopy is short, so Blaster explosions and Slosher arcs can easily hit you behind it
Weapons that break or bypass the canopy quickly, like the Tri-Stringer, Splatana Stamper and Sloshing Machine, are natural enemies
Touching a Splash Wall or Big Bubbler destroys a launched canopy, and Toxic Mist or bombs thrown at the canopy can easily break you down
It eats a lot of ink, and when several enemies surround you the canopy breaks fast

Tips

Decide on a purpose before launching: blocking a path, escorting an objective carrier, drawing a long-range player's attention
Don't let enemies read whether you're in front of or behind your canopy, and pick your spot while watching for flankers
Don't carelessly launch from behind a teammate (a bomb thrown at your canopy can splat them with its blast)
Place Beakons often, as jump points for teammates and as sensors. If you don't, teammates will jump to you instead and ruin your mind games

This kit

Toxic Mist slows enemies and drains their ink so your main lands more easily, and Super Chump flushes out enemies behind walls or below ledges and forces them to retreat.
