Gliding is a movement ability that allows the player to freely glide through the air while consuming Stamina. It is unlocked after receiving the Wind Glider from Amber during the City of Freedom quest.

Like Climbing and Swimming, the player cannot perform combat actions while gliding, with exceptions.

To initiate gliding, press the 'jump' button mid-air to open your Wind Glider. To cancel gliding, press the 'jump' button again or initiate a plunged attack to slam down to the ground. The player must be high enough off the ground to activate (e.g., jumping off an appropriate ledge), but if the player becomes incapacitated (e.g., Frozen), the player will immediately cancel gliding and start falling.

Gliding consumes 3 stamina per second,[1] but can be reduced by some Food and Talents. The Red Feather Fan gadget allows the player to increase the gliding speed by 30% for 30 seconds.

Combat Talents[]

These are skills that can be used midair, including while gliding, jumping, or falling without being in a helpless state. Using these skills in midair does not consume any Stamina and also closes the player's Wind Glider until the player opens it again.

There are 3 Talents that match the category selection:

After Gaming has used Bestial Ascent to rise into the air, he will use the especially powerful Plunging Attack: Charmed Cloudstrider when performing a Plunging Attack.

Plunging Attack: Charmed Cloudstrider
The DMG from Plunging Attacks caused by Bestial Ascent is converted to Pyro DMG that cannot be overridden by other elemental infusions. Upon landing, Gaming will consume a fixed amount of HP. Gaming's HP cannot be reduced below 10% by this method.

Within 10s of remaining airborne after casting Chihayaburu, Kazuha can unleash a powerful Plunging Attack known as Midare Ranzan.

(PressPress/TapTap)

When a Plunging Attack is performed using the effects of the Elemental Skill Chihayaburu, Plunging Attack DMG is converted to Anemo DMG. On landing, Kazuha creates a small wind tunnel via a secret blade technique that pulls in nearby objects and opponents.
Midare Ranzan's DMG is considered Plunging Attack DMG.
