Flying

Flying players and their carried equipment:

• Cannot be affected by abilities and strikes that originate within 20ft.
• Cannot aggress.
• May move about the battlefield freely as long as they stay 20ft away from enemy bases and avoid obstructing combat or interactions between other players.
• May pick up equipment but cannot carry Game Items or interact with Game Objectives.
• Are not obstructed or affected by 'low' terrain such as water, lava, pit traps, etc. unless otherwise indicated by the Game Organizer. Real-life terrain, such as actual walls and pits, cannot be bypassed this way unless it is able to be done safely and approved by the organizer or associated rules authority.
• May not delay the game excessively, as judged by the Game Organizer or associated rules authority. For instance, a player may not use Flying to avoid being killed if they are the last player alive in a Mutual Annihilation battlegame.

V8 Transition Note: Becoming Stopped does not remove Flying from a player. They may continue Flying while unable to move.

For the ability that grants Flying, see Flight.
