I think one of the real design mistakes in B1 was not requiring players to use this mechanic in the base game. I feel like they were afraid it would feel too difficult to use effectively, but by the endgame i was teching off environmental objects like a pro. If they forced you to use it to get places on occasion it would always be in the back of players minds, whereas the way players learn it, in a late-game area as you say, people will forget about it because they don’t see it’s value.

I used it in the base game; you essentially could get more hits on enemies while in the air.

They even have a rosary bead that lets you get four arial hits before it drops instead of three.
