How to use Flight from anywhere in Wuthering Waves 2.0

It's time to take flight.

Of all the additions added in Wuthering Waves 2.0, the Flight tool is likely the most impactful regarding exploration. Normally, you cannot use Flight if you’re too close to the ground, but there are two handy little tricks that will allow you to always circumvent this limitation.

How to fly from anywhere in Wuthering Waves

To be clear, Flight is only allowed within Rinascita, not Huanglong or The Black Shores, so ‘anywhere’ refers to any of the zones that make up Rinascita, including interiors.

With that clarification out of the way, Flight can be used from any position and any location as long as you meet the sole criteria of being high enough off the ground. At times, you may find yourself unable to use Flight because you simply cannot ascend enough. Elevation plays a big role in this, as climbing up a hill will often prevent standard use of the tool. However, you can overcome this obstacle by using the Grapple tool or the Superjump technique. One requires more technicaꦇl skill than the other, but I will coverꦦ both so you can decide which you want to use.

Using Flight with the Grapple Tool

Since height is the only thing that prevents you from using Flight at all times, you can utilize the Grapple tool to remove this limitation. To do this, first, perform a standard jump, then use the Grapple to pull yourself higher into the air. Using the Tool Wheel, swap to Flight and press the Tool button immediately after. If you do this correctly, you’ll be soaring from locations that were previously impossible to take off from.

The one downside to using Flight this way is that it requires you to constantly swap Tools every time you want to take off. Opening the Tool Wheel drastically slows down time, which allows you to easily access the Grapple Tool and swap to Flight, but it’s still a cumbersome set of actions that might get old fairly quickly. The upside is that this method doesn’t require any real technical know-how of Wuthering Wave’s robust movement system.

Using Flight with the Superjump Technique

Alternatively, to using the Grapple to gain height, you can use a complex set of aerial motions to artificially ascend beyond your normal jump capabilities. This is the Superjump technique, and it is more efficie🧸nt and effective to perform over using the Grapple, though it does require more effort to learn and understand initially.

First, select any character with a standard downward plunge. This is a re🍰quirement for the technique, as not all characters in the game can perform it. Characters like Yinlin, for example, cannot use Superjump because her downward plunge is unique to her. It needs to be a standard plunge attack.

Once you’ve selected your character, to perform a Superjump in Wuthering Waves, follow these steps in order:

  1. Perform a single Standard Jump
  2. While in mid-air, initiate a Downward Plunge attack
  3. Before the attack executes, cancel with a mid-air Dodge
  4. Initiate a Downward Plunge again
  5. Use the Flight Tool

This technique exists because every one of the above-mentioned steps allows you to gain a small amount of height with each one. This is clearly more complicated than simply using the Grapple and may require some practical practice on your end. However, I assure you that after some lab time, you’ll find Superjump to be a much more convenient method of activating Flight from anywhere you like. Practice this, and it will become second nature to you. Then, soar freely.
