What Is Confirmed
Steam positions flight and verticality as central to combat and exploration. That matters for class evaluation because ranged uptime, melee gap-closing, line of sight, terrain and aerial positioning can all change how a class feels.
What To Test
| Test Area | Why It Matters |
|---|---|
| Ranged uptime | Flight can make spacing easier or harder depending on encounter design. |
| Melee access | Gap closing and target stickiness may decide PvP strength. |
| Boss arenas | Vertical mechanics may change dungeon class value. |
| Resource limits | Flight duration or restrictions can change open-world routing. |
