The Blade Umbrella seems to already be an absolute weapon favorite among players at the release of Wild Hearts. We have 3 tips for you on how to get the most out of the deadly umbrella.
In the new hunting game Wild Hearts, one weapon is already enjoying great popularity in the community at the release of the PC version: the Blade Umbrella, which looks like a kind of deadly umbrella.
Everywhere on reddit or YouTube, you’ll find numerous clips and guides on how to best use the weapon. We’ve picked out the 3 best tips that will make you unstoppable with the umbrella.
How to Get the Most Out of the Blade Umbrella
1. Pay Attention to the Spin Dance Bar
When you use the umbrella, you will surely notice the bar in the bottom left corner above your health bar. This is crucial if you want to get the most out of the umbrella. In the green area of the bar, the umbrella’s attack power is rather mediocre.
The true destructive power of the umbrella is unleashed when you enter the red area. Then your attacks deal significantly more damage, and you can take out your opponents much more effectively with the umbrella. Therefore, your goal is to fill this bar quickly and keep it full permanently.
However, you need to play quite aggressively to achieve this and constantly attack or successfully parry the opponent, otherwise, the bar will revert after just a few seconds.
The YouTuber PWARGaming explains in a video the importance of the Spin Dance Bar and parrying in his weapon guide:
2. Focus on Parrying:
True strength lies in the defense of attacks. Try to deflect as many attacks from the Kemono using the weapon and get your bar in the bottom left into the red area to then counter with a fierce counterattack.
The best part is: while parrying consumes stamina, if it is successful, you regain endurance. When used correctly, you have a good foundation so that you don’t run out of breath too quickly.
Here’s a clip from PWARGaming on reddit showing how he skillfully uses parrying with the weapon to take out the Kemono:
3. Use the Mobility of the Umbrella
One aspect that makes the umbrella so strong is the high mobility you gain from the weapon. With the umbrella, you can perform aerial attacks and move quickly across the battlefield.
It’s best to practice on the training bear, which attacks can launch you into the air and especially where they take you. Otherwise, it can quickly happen that you jump around aimlessly and land where you really didn’t want to.
However, once you have the right combo down, you can even stay in the air for longer periods. In the YouTube video, you can see between 01:44-01:56 how to do this by attacking and parrying in the air. You will also fly around even if you don’t successfully parry, but just by pressing the button.

However, it is often read in the comments that it takes some practice to use the Blade Umbrella really well. Especially, the perfect timing when parrying is something players have to find out with a bit of finesse. Because here, the window of time to successfully deflect an attack is quite short.
But once you have enough practice with the Wasaga, the umbrella in your hands can become the ultimate Kemono slayer.
