Aerodynamic

Aerodynamic
Class	Reflexes Perk
Attribute	Reflexes
Tier	Phenom (15)
Levels	1
Requires	Air Dash

Aerodynamic makes V harder to hurt while off the ground. Mitigation strength rises sharply in midair, so the damage that does land is cut much further. It sits near the top of the movement branch of the Reflexes tree. Being in the air is normally exposure, and this perk turns it into cover.

Effect

---

Mitigation strength is the size of the reduction rather than the chance of getting one. Raising it means every mitigated hit taken in the air costs far less health.

That removes the main objection to fighting above the floor. A jump is normally the moment a build cannot dodge or take cover, and here it becomes the moment the build is best protected.

Character Builds

---

The build is an airborne Reflexes build, and this is the perk that makes being off the ground defensible rather than reckless.

Buy it at the Phenom gate from Air Dash, alongside Aerial Acrobat. Can't Touch This lower in the tree covers mitigation chance during a dash, so a build with both has the chance and the strength of mitigation raised at the same time. Cyberware that adds mitigation strength compounds it further.

Notes

---

Can't Touch This lower in the tree pushes mitigation chance to its ceiling during a dash, so the two halves of mitigation are covered by one branch.

Aerial Acrobat makes the airborne moves controllable, which is what keeps V up there long enough to benefit.
