Glide

Glide is a flex skill that lets the Ranger flow a short way without anchoring. It covers a stationary build's weakness.

How it works#

• Flow up to 4 tiles in a straight, open line.
• You pass over Surfaces such as debris and scorch without touching them.
• It gives no protection.

Who can take it#

Only the Warden and the Coordinator. Kit v4 removed Glide from the Sentinel, because Anchor & Pull already gives it a move.

Development#

Glide was a B-ranked flex skill in kit v1. Claude B warned to watch Warden plus Glide. In the Studios design, the "open-glide" drill unlocks it. The reduced-motion version must show a still trail and a start ghost, never a jump. The turn version is in the alpha.
