    Umbra is the lerks 3rd attack with the 2nd hive. It's a yellow cloud which will stop 5/6 bullets that enter into it, players need to be inside the umbra to get the protection that it provides.

    No, no, you're just misreading his question. He's asking what Umbra is, and then offering up hypothetical answers. I.E.:

    Isn't the umbra the technical term for the moon's shadow during an eclipse?

    Heh, while we're at it, I've heard someone pronounce it "oombra" over voicecom <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif'><!--endemo-->
