Assist Strategies

• Umbrella is at her strongest when she is backed by a strong neutral assist that she can use in combos. Examples being Double's M/H Bomber, Big Band's H Brass, or Robo Fortune's H Beam
• The characters that like Umbrella's assists the most are the ones that need Grinder for building resources (Beowulf, Valentine, and Fukua), or ones that zone in neutral and enjoy the screen control that 6HP and Wish Maker provide (Peacock, Squigly, Robo)
• Below is a list of each characters recommended Umbrella assist (DISCLAIMER: these are not the only Umbrella assists you can run for each character. If you do not want to run our recommended assist, then don't! Nothing's stopping you)

Filia: 6HP/wish maker
Cerebella: salt grinder/6HP
Peacock: 6HP/wish maker
Parasoul: 6HP
Ms Fortune: hungern rush/6HP/bobblin' bubble
Painwheel: 6HP/hungern rush
Valentine: grinder/6HP/wish maker
Double: 6HP/hungern rush
Squigly: 6HP
Big Band: wish maker/6HP
Eliza: 6HP
Fukua: salt grinder/6hp
Beowulf: salt grinder
Robo Fortune: hungern rush/wish maker
Annie: hungern rush/6HP
Black Dahlia: 6HP

Tagging

Tagging Out

• In Overstuffed, she can tag into basically anyone by doing jMP jHP and either tagging there or doing 214HK 214MK and tagging.
• She can tag into any combo tag by using Wish Maker, 6HP or popping a Bobble.
• She can combo into horizontal tags with 6HP and Overstuffed 5HP.
• She can combo into tags like Band's midscreen by doing 6[HP] Wishmaker Bobble without spending OTG.

Tagging In

• To combo after tag, she can tag from Robo 214MK, Parasoul 4HK, Eliza 5HPx3 in the corner, Eliza 2HP 236MK, Band 2HP, Valentine Green Vial 2HP, Beo 5HK (KD) in the corner, Peacock Item Drop Level 3, Dahlia 5[HP], and Fukua M Shadow.
• To get a SKD and oki after tag, she can tag from Robo 5HP, Parasoul Tear explosion, Valentine Green Vial 5HP, Peacock Item Drop Level 2, Annie 6MP stagger, Beo 5HK stagger, Bella 5MP stagger, Painwheel 5[HP] and 2[HP] and Squigly 236MK stagger.

Assist Resets

GAS

• An abbreviation of Generic Assist + Slurp. This is a 5-way mixup (7 if you include potential command grab and burst bait options) that involves using Slurp N' Slide alongside an assist that has aerial knockback but does not knockdown. It is most useful against heavies, where umbrellas traditional mixups like SQRT become difficult or impractical
• (video breakdown of the mixup)

Assists that GAS works with:
Fukua: L dart
Parasoul: L/H shot
Robo Fortune: H beam
Annie: H cut
Ms Fortune: 5HK (head on)
Eliza: H spiral, butchers
Painwheel: L pinion, M nail*
Peacock: L george*, 5hp
Valentine: L cross*
Cerebella: H lock n load
Black Dahlia: L shot (lightning and fire only)

Note: a " * " by the move name means that it doesnt work on every character
