I have a couple questions about echo’s movement.
Do you walk faster normally or do you fly faster? If I’m coming back from spawn, should I just use flight for the burst of movement and then cancel it, or should I let it run the entire ability course?
Do you glide faster than walking/flying? Could I use my fly to go high up and then just glide to go faster to point for example?
She’s faster in flight mode after the burst of speed.
Echo travels at 8 meters per second while Flight is active, and at the normal 5.5 meters per second normally.
She is faster when flying.
Let it run the entire course, again you are faster and it should be back up before you get back unless they are more than halfway towards your spawn.
Other than that – the one thing it took me a while to grasp is that when you use the fly ability, it’s very different if you are jumping or just holding forward. Jumping shoots you into the air, the latter shoots you lateral. Very key.
Basically, Echo will fly in the direction you’re facing. Much like Genji, simply facing up, for example, will shoot you straight up when engaging Flight.
Yeah that is what I was trying to convey there – because it’s not well documented in any of her ability descriptions if you just jump right in.
If you immediately jump-fly-cancel fly- hold glide I’m sure you go faster. Something about the initial burst from her flight then canceling it carries the momentum for when you’re gliding.
Looking diagonally whilst you do it is the best way to get max speed I think as well.
