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.
• Currently the skill has a bug, it may not have a cooldown for unexplained reasons.

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.
