Work in Progress
This article is currently a work in progress. As such, it may contain some editing notes in addition to information. Please be patient, it is being worked on and will be in a finished state before long!

Overview

Flight unlocks one of the most useful attacks: Air Superiority. Fly as a travel power is one of the safest ways to travel.


Powers

Flight CombatFlight.png Hover

Very slow version of fly. Costs little endurance though and is very useful in combat. Slotting Hover with 3 Flight Speed Single-Origin Enhancements allows you to fly at slightly less than walking speeds. Hover and Fly also grant psuedo Knockback protection. You may still get knocked back and spin around, but since you're flying you don't have to worry about jumping back up.

Flight ArialAssault.png Air Superiority

Moderate damage, foe knockdown and -fly. Very useful in bringing down flying foes, and slotted right can literally juggle foes to death. It has very good accuracy on it's own and good chance to knockdown.

Flight TravelFlight.png Fly

Safest way to travel, though initially the slowest and most expensive. Unslotted fly will drain your endurance in about 5 minutes.

Flight GroupFly.png Group Fly

Effective Fly for you and your Team members. Same endurance usage but at slow speeds, and a major hit to Accuracy. Not recommended for use in combat.


Flight Speed

This section only applies to the speed of Fly. Hover and Group Fly use different calculations.[1]


Calculating Flight Speed

Feet Per Second

(21.00 FPS base) + ((1 + sum of enhancements) * (18.18 FPS + (LVL * 0.21)))

Miles Per Hour

(14.32 MPH base) + ((1 + sum of enhancements) * (12.4 MPH + (LVL * 0.143)))


Flight Speeds

Speed at Level 14

Enhancements FPS MPH
None 42.12 28.72
1 Flight DO 45.65 31.13


Speed at Level 22

Enhancements FPS MPH
None 43.80 29.87
1 Flight SO 51.39 35.04
2 Flight SO 58.98 40.22
3 Flight SO 65.46 44.63
4 Flight SO 66.60 45.41


Speed at Level 50

Enhancements FPS MPH
None 49.68 33.87
1 Flight SO 59.23 40.38
2 Flight SO 68.78 46.89
3 Flight SO 76.93 52.44
4 Flight SO 78.36 53.42


Note: you cannot reach the flight speed cap through slotting alone.
