Skyriders are masters of situational awareness and tactical coordination, capable of making quick, high-stakes decisions in the heat of battle. They excel at controlling the flow of combat and guiding their allies to victory. Despite their focus on leadership, a Skyrider is never outclassed in the air, their reflexes and spatial awareness unmatched.
Skyriders are often seen as calm under pressure, their ability to read a battlefield making them natural commanders. Allies rely on their clear guidance, while enemies quickly learn to fear their tactical precision.

Core Abilities
Intuition: Anchor for AR reads and aerial judgment—picking lanes, sensing threats, and timing maneuvers in Piloting/Space.
Presence: Command aura for crisp Leadership and Diplomatic calls—gets the crew aligned and responsive mid-flight.
Supporting Abilities
Quickness: Executes what AR/TAS reveal—initiative, interrupts, snap repositioning, and mid-air pivots.
Reasoning: Logic core for TAS and Engineering—clean sequencing, target selection, and safe procedures under pressure.
Important Abilities
Self Discipline: Steady hands for Piloting/Space tasks and consistent one-handed weapon work (breath, hold, follow-through).

Agility: Weapon handling and precise movement when you personally take the shot or thread a tight approach.
Empathy: Boosts buy-in and morale—helps maintain cohesion during tense Leadership/Diplomatic moments.

Boldness: Comes up for gutsy flight calls, but usually trails Presence/Intuition.
Constitution: Endurance for long sorties and environmental stress; secondary for this class.
Strength: Rarely decisive with 1-handed weapons and an aerial focus.
Creativity: Nice for unorthodox routes or solutions, but planning plus execution carry this role.
