Float (Final Fantasy VI status)

Float is a status in Final Fantasy VI. Characters with the float status will be protected from earth-elemental attacks, which will miss automatically, but their vulnerability to Locke's Hawkeye and Sniper weapons will be increased. Flying enemies normally have this status permanently set. Float persists outside of battle.

The Angel Wings relic is associated with a bug where removing the Angel Wings also permanently removes Interceptor status from the character.

The following abilities will always miss on targets with Float:

Boar Brigade (Dance)
Chocobo Stampede (Slot)
Interceptor's Takedown and Wild Fang
Land Slide (enemy ability)
Magnitude 8 (enemy ability)
