Flight Core is the core ability utilised by the Northstar, alongside its variants Northstar Prime and the Brute loadout.

When activated, the Northstar activates its hover jets, similar to its utility ability VTOL Hover. Unlike the standard hover, the Northstar's missile pods open and fire a barrage of moderately fast missile towards the crosshair. The Northstar can sustain damage while her core ability is active.

Flight Core's maneuverability can be enhanced by the Viper Thrusters Titan kit.

Strategy

• Using Flight Core makes your Northstar incredibly vulnerable: A flying titan raining missiles is a tempting target. As such, the player should be cautious in deciding when to activate it.
  • This is one of the main reasons why the Viper Thrusters Titan kit is considered Northstar's best kit, as it vastly increases their core's effectiveness.
• Flight Core is best used when flanking an unsuspecting enemy, catching them unaware. This will give you time to deal some damage while minimizing the amount you receive. If you reach maximum height while hovering, you can fly right over enemy titans, possibly disorienting them further.
• Flight Core can also be effective as an escape tactic, using it to discourage an enemy getting dangerously close while you hover away.
• There are two ways to modulate the height gained from Flight Core:
• If a Northstar begins hovering, then activates Flight Core the second that hover ends, the core will send them even higher. This is best used for getting out of melee range of an opposing Sword Core.
• If a Northstar activates Flight Core right as their hover begins, their hover height will be vastly lowered. This is most useful for staying under buildings and other obstructions.
