Mina should snap open her umbrella to parry

[Sage VALE]

Since the latest deadlock balance patch Lash got a new parry animation, it got me thinking about Mina. Right now she just uses the default parry, and I feel like she deserves something that fits her character better.

For Mina’s parry animation, I think she should use her umbrella. When a melee attack comes in and someone uses the parry key, she could cock her umbrella back then quickly thrust it forward and snap the umbrella open and hold it in front of her to block the hit. And maybe her umbrella should spin too to make it flashy. It would match her style really well and make the animation feel more unique to her.

Thank you to my friend @/Wavy667_ for creating visualizations in blender for me

Cool suggestion!

But it's probably better to post it here: https://forums.playdeadlock.com/forums/mina.187/
