Skimmer
Water, quicksand, and dangerous ground

Mastery field guide
Learn where hovering wins
Read the ground
Choose the Skimmer when the terrain is the obstacle: water, quicksand, lava-adjacent paths, and damaging surfaces are where it saves the most time.
Build endurance habits
Later masteries improve how long and how freely you can hover. Avoid spending endurance before a long hazard crossing.
Use rescue movement
The Skimmer is not only for speed. Its stable movement makes it ideal for recovering from a missed jump or guiding friends across rough terrain.
