Fly allows you to travel long distances quickly. If you attack a target while this power is on, your Flight speed will be temporarily reduced to Hover speed. Your top Flight speed increases with your Level. You must be at least level 14 and have Hover or Air Superiority before selecting Fly. Fly will no longer drain Endurance to zero unslotted.

This article is about the power pool. For a more general discussion on flight powers, see Flight Powers.

Overview

Grants you various travel and flying combat abilities.

The Flight power pool is available to all archetypes except Warshades and Peacebringers.

With the 60 month City Traveler Badge Veteran reward, players are able to pick Air Superiority, Hover, and Fly starting from level 6 in any order without any prerequisite. Group Fly remains a level 20 power choice, and requires two prerequisites before selection.

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.


Notes

  • TopDoc's Complete Movement Guide
  • As of 8-16-06, Swift, Quickness and Lightning Reflexes now grant a bonus to Flight Speed, in addition to their existing Resistance to Flight Speed debuffs.
  • Also, on 8-16-06, there was a reduction to endurance cost for Flight.
  • Issue 8 brought with it a 10% increase to Hover's base speed.
  • Masterminds can use Group Fly to transport their pets, but pets will fall if they fall too far behind the Mastermind. Additionally, of the Masterminds pets, Robotics pets have a flight animation specifically for group fly.
