Tips and Details

  • You will be able to perform an air dash after the evasion's jump.
  • The jump is completely optional, unlike the jump caused by Ara's skill, Tempest Dance.
  • Even though the skill can be used during Over Strike, you can't cast it if you don't have enough ECP.
  • This is currently one of only two evasive skills that are able to deal damage, the other being Dritt · Stilett.
  • Before [Enhanced], this skill consumes only 30 ECP for some reason, which is not listed in its tooltip at all and might possibly be related to the old version that used 30 ECP all the time.

Trivia

  • This skill is based on DFO's shared class skill Backstep, which all characters including Gunner have access to.
  • This is the only evasion skill that uses character's separate gauge instead of MP.
  • This is the only evasion skill that doesn't have the Light and Regenerating (1) traits.


Old Version

Video Description
Between its initial release and the 08/01/2019 KR Patch, Backstep was an Active skill that consisted of Rose dodging backwards while firing whichever weapon she had equipped.
  • This version of the skill was combined with Needle Sobat after the 09/11/2019 KR Patch.
