Hear me out okay.

An umbrella weapon would be so cool. There’d be a lot of versatility as well.

If people have any suggestions to this idea please input below.

When umbrella is closed: Firstly this umbrella has a customisable skin (cover) which can be swapped in game a bit like arrow types. they’d be elemental, so you got get a fire umbrella which is burning or a lighting umbrella which is infused with lighting.

The cover could be a sort of metal sheet that is attached onto the umbrella. This would mean it could used as a sort of sword.

These covers could either be replaced by elemental forms of the sheet, or just be transformed into an elemental form via use of a specific item. This allows for strategic use of different covers depending on the monster you’re fighting. It perhaps could be that you get a base type of cover but you imbue it with a liquid that makes it elemental etc.

Without any elemental it could be used as either a blunt weapon, or a slash sword. I think without it being imbued with the elemental liquid, the metal sheet would a sufficient sharp weapon.

It could also have a range option so at the tip of the gun it can fire one or two bullets, making for really interesting combos.

When umbrella is opened: It could be used as a shield, blocking incoming attacks and perhaps it’s ranged mode could have a greater ammo supply instead of the limited supply.

For upgrading and grinding maybe it’s the type of metal on the umbrella or, scales of the bigger monsters.

I’ve had this idea for a while. But I’ve not fully realised it. I feel like there are improvements to be made on the base idea. What do you think? Would it be too versatile?

I think it would make for many epic combos as you slash shoot and defend with the umbrella.
