Quick Question about Group Fly

[KC4800]

I am assuming it is incompatible with MM Beasts, right? I don't see how flying dogs and cats would work. Have you tried it?

[Six-Six]

wolves and lionesses look like they're doggies and kitties picked up by the scruff.

So demon's aren't as bad as beasts. I think Group fly aesthetically works best for Bots as they even get rocket boosters on their feet. I wouldn't mind a winged demon version.

I have never tried it on thugs, mercs, or zombies, but I'm assuming they'd look like regular characters when flight is toggled given how group flight affects team members.

They can all fly.  Even crabberminds spiders can fly.  Their legs kinda go limp and tuck under their bodies slightly.

I have flying bots and flying Mercs. They both work great as they are mostly ranged. I would think Beasts would drop out of fly as soon as an attack order is given. My Beast /Nature because of needing to be in the fray in order to protect and lay down the location targets would not work as a flyer at all. Plus my PBAoE hold wouldn't hold anything up there.

Nah.  You would just have to stay in roughly melee range of the mobs.  My Thugs/Time Mastermind’s Bruiser was literally standing on top of the Rikti drop ship in a mothership raid a couple of weeks ago, riding the drop ship while pummeling it.  It was hilarious.  Wish I had gotten a screenshot of it.

Beasts will maintain flight even in melee, though if low enough to the ground they will appear grounded.

Doesnt group fly hit MM pets at any distance or can they get too far away and fall?

They're all drinking Red Bull now.  No distance limitation.

 

They're still slower than old people driving, though.

I meant more for Nature and just to make sure that the pets are in melee range.  Time has PBAoEs as well, so I try to stay within range of my henchmen.

255 Target cap and 60 ft radius... can you even fit that many entities that close 😆

I have recently forgot to turn it off when me and the bots started a BAF, so I was making a lot of people fly, apparently (and rather annoying most of them as well ha ha - sorry guys!).

I believe MM Group Fly is best used by Necro/Thermal MM's, because Flying Zombies ON FIRE.

 

That said, my Beast / Empath MM will be fitting Group Fly into her build, and I'll just let the Doggos and Kittehs strike terror in the hearts of the squirrels all across Paragon City.
