Tactical overview

Air Recovery.

Air upgrades aid in dexterity, stealth, and dodging abilities immeasurably. Airdash provides a quick boost through air, in any direction. It allows easy navigation through the city and evade incoming ordnance, particularly objects thrown at Mercer by the Hunters. It's main use is in conjunction with Glide. Alex gains a quick boost while gliding to increase the distance of the glide. With the combination of Airdash Double boost and glide, Alex can travel from one end of the city to another quickly with little trouble.
