Not a cheat thread, just mechanics. Watching new players drop out of the sky mid-fight in the Abyss is painful. Flight power is a resource, gliding is cheap, sustained combat flight is not, and running it dry over open air is a death sentence.

Flight circles refill it. There are dozens of them in the lower zones specifically so you can chain across a map without ever being stranded. Learn where they are before you learn anything else.

Also: you can break a fall by gliding. You can't always, but try it before you accept it.

The circle thing is the whole skill ceiling of flying and nobody teaches it. Chaining circles is how you cross a zone fast without arriving empty.

Gliding into a fight is also just better. Cheap, quiet, and you arrive with power left instead of burning it on the approach.

Thank you, yes. Approach matters more than most people admit.

Counterpoint on the fall break, it's unreliable enough that relying on it gets you killed. Treat it as a bonus, not a plan.

Fair. Plan is circles, glide break is the save.

Also don't fight directly over deep air if you can help it. Fight over ground, fight over water, anything you can land on.

That's the actual rule. Everything else is technique.
