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, this skill has a bug where it may not have a cooldown for unexplained reasons.

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.

In the past, 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.
