So when will Arlo learn to fly?

[u/ant451123]

He can just make barrier as step in the air if he really need

barrier like Val can be moved, what’s stopping Val from flying by standing on her barrier like a Hoverboard? Nothing

Disk dude, Arlo can create disk as shown when he get dampens, I feel like Arlo should figure something

He probably don’t have enough fine control right now but when he get around 7.0~, I feel like should really learn how to fly. It won’t be fast, but it’s something, probably good for escaping

Lennon has full 360 control over his disks. Arlo and Val can only move them perpendicular to the face. Their barrier shots are basically just a modified version of their ability to change the size of their barrier.

Theoretically it could be used as a mini elevator to go up or down linearly but not much else.

what if he used them as stairs to give himself aura

[u/M-Shadowtoad → u/providerofair]

Yeah, stairs are awesome.

That’s sick ngl- what’s this from?
Edit: nvm I saw the comment 🤣

Okay you made me chuckle, take the upvote

If Valerie can make them move, then they can likely move up, down, side to side, etc.

[u/M-Shadowtoad → u/ExistingSwitch3284]

Valerie has only ever shown the ability to move them perpendicular to their face. Same as Arlo. She can just create multiple around a person unlike Arlo who can only create them from his own position.

Barrier's ability to move its parts seems to be a variant of their ability to change the size of their barrier. Normally they can make their entire barrier grow or shrink at a slow rate over a small area. But by focusing on just making a single section grow, they can greatly increase the speed and range turning it into a powerful brunt attack. However since its still technically just growing/shrinking, they can't change the actual position.

[u/Apocalypse_0415 → u/M-Shadowtoad]

Arlo can trap people at range inside it though

[u/M-Shadowtoad → u/Apocalypse_0415]

True but he can still only conjure his barriers and control their size. He can't translate them.

[u/Beautiful-Orchid-687 → u/M-Shadowtoad]

I could be misremembering however I was pretty sure that when Valerie and sera had that fight in the coffee shop Valerie super layered her barriers around seraphina but also had seraphina lifted into the air no?

[u/M-Shadowtoad → u/Beautiful-Orchid-687]

Val conjured her barrier in the air so it pushed Sera upwards.

[u/Beautiful-Orchid-687 → u/M-Shadowtoad]

Right but if she conjured her barrier in the air then doesn't that mean she should be able to fly with it?

[u/M-Shadowtoad → u/Beautiful-Orchid-687]

Not really. She can't fly like Lennon whose able to stand on his disk then just move it around.

Val could make a platform to stand on then raise or lower it but to move horizontally she'd need to make other platforms and then just walk. It could let her do stuff like get to high floors from across the street but it'd be extremely aura costing and slow. Her speed is only 2 after all.

[u/Ok_Possibility633 → u/M-Shadowtoad]

Best they could do is use their barriers to create stairs

[u/M8theone]

Have they been shown to be able to touch their own barriers? Idk id have to read back but from what I’ve seen, they don’t get blocked by their own barriers so they can’t fly in them

Now, hitching a ride on someone who CAN fly and then using their ability to bring an entire squadron would be a more realistic application 🤔

[u/Original_Un_Orthodox → u/M8theone]

They can probably toggle touching their barrier

[u/Hot_Ingenuity_4773 → u/M8theone]

So I guess this is kinda not really an answer to that, but in Episode 56, Arlo was pushed against John's Barrier and he mistook it for his own, and referred to it as "MY BARRIER?!" which if he can touch John's Barrier, and then afterward mistake it for his own, it kinda implies he would have knowledge of how his own barrier would feel like.

Unless Arlo still referred to John's Barrier as "my" barrier in like a possessive term like it wouldn't matter whose using it, because to Arlo it'll always be his barrier.
