	The [[Umbrella]] is the Civilian’s stock melee weapon, functioning similarly to the [[Bat]] in terms of combat-It deals only 35 damage per hit, and swings every 0.5 seconds. However, its primary use is not its melee capabilities, but its alternate-fire effect. When alt-fired while aiming at a teammate, the Umbrella grants them a Mini-crit boost for 8 seconds, with a 15-second cooldown between uses. This boost is best used offensively on a high ~~dps~~ class like [[Heavy]], [[Soldier]], [[Pyro]] and [[Demoman]], and best used supportively on a [[Medic]] to buff his heal speed and ÜberCharge build rate by 35% each. The Mini-crit boost is less useful to classes that already have access to guaranteed critical damage, like the [[Sniper]] with headshots or [[Spy]] with backstabs. To make the most out of the boost, Civilians should be aware of their teammates’ roles and timing, and save the boost for moments where it'll do the most good.

	The [[Civilian]] is the conniving and <s>stingy</s> ''generous'' billionaire entrepreneur who has hired the mercenaries to protect and aid him in his escape in the [[VIP]] and [[VIP Race]] gamemodes, as he is the only one able to capture points in these modes. Due to his role as the VIP, he'll be the priority target for all enemies, making it the utmost priority to stay alive. The Civilian has a large health pool of 200 HP ~~and gains 5-15 health per second in health regeneration~~, ~~and~~ a speed of 280 HU/s, akin to the [[Demoman]]'s. He has a high support focus, with his aura and melees providing buffs to his teammates. While near the Civilian, his teammates gain 5-15 health regeneration per second and a 20% damage resistance, which can be accessed through walls and from behind obstacles, allowing you to take cover as you support your team.

	The Umbrella is the stock melee for the Civilian that is similar to the Scout's bat, in that it deals only 35 damage per hit, and swings every 0.5 seconds. However, it is unadvisable to use it as a weapon in most scenarios, but as a boosting tool for your teammates through its Alt-fire effect. Alt-firing while looking at a teammate grants them a Mini-crit boost for 8 seconds which recharges in 15 seconds. This boost is best used offensively on a high dps class like [[Heavy]], [[Soldier]], [[Pyro]] and [[Demoman]. The boost can be used supportively on a [[Medic]] to buff his heal speed and ~~übercharge~~ build rate by 35% each.

It should not be given to [[Sniper]]s or [[Spy\|Spies]], as they already gain situational crits often, or [[Engineers]], as their buildings are not boosted by the Umbrella.

	The Derby Cane has the same melee stats as the Umbrella, but also like the Umbrella, its main focus is not in direct combat, but its Alt-Fire boost effect. Alt-firing while looking at a teammate grants them a [[Haste]] boost for 8 seconds which recharges in 13 seconds. This boost is best used offensively on the slower classes like [[Heavy]], [[Soldier]] and [[Demoman]], as they would benefit most from the speed boost and ~~dps~~ boost ~~to their firepower~~. It can be used supportively on [[Engineer]]s, who benefit from the boosted [[wrench]] swing speed for quickly upgrading and repairing buildings, [[Snipers]], who benefit from the faster [[Sniper Rifle\|rifle]] charge speed and reload speed, [[Spies]], who benefit from the higher mobility (although the [[L'Escampette]]'s speed boost does not stack with haste) and [[Medic]]s using the Rejuvenator, who benefit greatly from the higher firing speed, reload speed and mobility.

The [[Kritzkrieg]] and the [[Medi Gun]] do not benefit as much from this buff, unlike with the [[Umbrella]].
