Best Items for Umbreon – Held Items and Battle Item
Exp Share ( Core )
Exp Share is an absolutely monstrous item which generates WAY too much EXP for the user along with their team. Umbreon doesn’t net kills often and does not need many levels, making Exp Share a perfect fit for it.
Resonant Guard ( Core )
Resonant Guard just provides a nice shield boost for more bulk, using Umbreon’s fat defender statline and HP. This also works well in lane for providing big shields for the relative level of bulk in early game, to help Umbreon in pushing lanes and take space. The flat +450 HP stat is massive and stacks beautifully with Buddy’s flat HP to make both items generate bigger shields, which helps a lot as well.
Buddy Barrier ( Flex )
Buddy Barrier is useful for when you are forced to ult, providing yourself with some bulk as Umbreon ult provides meager shields on its own. This serves as insurance for when you cannot setup for a shield steal Midnight Prance.
Other Slot Candidates
Attack Weight ( Wish Oriented )
Wish’s scaling ratio has been brought up high enough to where stacking Weight gives substantial healing increases. This turns Wish Umbry into a VERY formidable healer and can fulfill that slot on a team and open up more varied comps with less burden.
Rescue Hood ( Wish Non-Stacking )
Wish healing with Hood falls slightly under 3 stacks of Weight at levels 6-11, and levels 12-15 is surpassed by 4 stacks. Hood becomes a good low-risk low-effort alternative when playing deep-lying support where you can’t afford taking stacks from others and a large portion of your heals go to others and not yourself. Being able to match 4 stacks of Weight’s output without any effort on your art and being able to fully devote to protection is a rather good perk to have. On Foul Play where you are engaging more and serving as frontline more yourself the self-heal difference will be greater.
Aeos Cookie ( Tank Oriented )
Aeos Cookie provides a lot of individual bulk with the increased HP effects, but also compounds with Umbreon’s boosted attack healing as well as Snarl’s shield ( 15% Max HP ), and Wish’s damage reduction. This, however, relies of the user diligently stacking to get value. Umbreon best synergizes with the held item in order to get the best raw bulk out of any other item. Going for early stacks also plays into Umbreon’s desire to hit level 4 as soon as possible, which a slipping a cheeky stack or 2 two will expedite.
This item works best with Tank Snarl Umbreon, as you will be most prone to having to sponge damage, and increases your bulk by leaps and bounds.
Assault Vest ( Support Oriented niche )
Assault Vest provides great anti poke value by increasing your Special eHP by a fat amount. It’s also easily renewable outside and during fights to gain some health back without the help of a healer. Other held items like Focus Band and Aeos Cookie lack the ability to be easily renewable. The added Special Defense also helps your endurance in general as well. The flat HP stats also help.
This item works best with Support Umbreon since you do not sit in the frontline and can avoid taking damage while using Mean Look and Wish and dealing no damage as well. This allows for you to easily play passive and regain your Assault Vest shield.!
How to Play Umbreon in Pokemon Unite
Early Game
In short, Umbreon’s early game is pretty abysmal. You’re saved by the fact that it has a very short period of suffering with an early level 4 evolution and powerspike. Fake Tears serves as your best secure move with actually great startup and frame data, but it has very mediocre damage. Umbreon also struggles to deal damage with Swift being extremely low damage and Fake Tears being just alright. Umbreon’s autos are also quite weak.
Swift allows Umbreon’s movement speed to be increased when it is near an enemy with a Swift mark, allowing for some sticking power and healing, as its basic attack becomes a boosted attack when hitting the marked enemy.
you are a little rat eevee that does nothing else. you have little rip, little fight, and a very mid secure.
Umbreon’s Unite Move – Midnight Prance
Umbreon’s ult serves 3 functions which makes it very powerful and versatile. good ult 10 out of 10.
Shield Stealing
Umbreon’s Midnight Prance is able to take the shields of nearby enemies. Many enemies have ults that generate an absolutely copious amount of shield that when stolen, gives Umbreon a shield for immense value.
Stun Engaging
In the event when you see a enemy carry out of position or grouped up enemies, Midnight Prance serves as a very fast reacting stun to pokemon in the area around dealing damage to opposing pokemon.
Panic Button
when you are dying you press button because yes, as after using its unite Umbreon ‘s movement speed is increased, and you gain some shields as well
Foul Play???
Foul Play has been nerfed and buffed many different times but is currently very close to its former glory. Umbreon attacks by lunging at an opposing pokemon which deals increased damage based on the attack of the opposing pokemon hit in the first stage of the ability, and then Umbreon sweeps in front of it with its tail, providing a momentary stun with the second stage. While Foul Play gives Umbreon a very aggressive divey identity as a tank, it lacks the guaranteed shutdown nature to assure a successful peel on a dive which is Mean Look. So need to read what your team is in need of more.
