    Aah, I see. So it'd work for situations like Titan where the arena itself shrinks, or the final boss of a certain level 80 dungeon (which I won't name in order to spare any sprouts who aren't into Shadowbringers yet the potential spoiler) with the crumbling platforms. Or E3[N|S]. Basically, places where it isn't (necessarily) a knockback over the edge that kills you, but even just the disappearance of what you're standing on.

    I like that. It still probably requires you to see that someone's about to fall prey to that and put Float on them before they're yeeted into the Space Where We Were Not Meant To Go, but that's not really any different than those moments when you actually manage to yoink someone back up onto the arena when they fall off the edge by hitting Rescue just before they fall.

    I aim to make my posts engaging and entertaining, even when you might not agree with me. And failing that, I'll just be very, VERY wordy.

    Also it would work for Lakshmi for those party members who forget to use their vril for the knockback. There are probably other situations too. And maybe Float is party-wide so you don't have to see it, target the person, then react.
