== Movement ==

Movement ability can't be changed once in-game. All except [[characters|Odr]]'s work the same.

Note that [[challenges|Full Auto]]'s version of Dash technically has a base cooldown of 1 full beat, but the challenge's effect reduces all cooldowns by 50% resulting in an effective cooldown of 1 half beat.
