What this board compares
Every row is a flight or air-swim potion with a published time from the Wacky Wednesday sign to the potion cannon sign. Hovering potions were excluded from that test. Ranks are an editorial call for steerable travel. They are not developer tiers, and they ignore combat.
S tier
Player decision Best default once you have Magic Orb. Prefer this over Heatseeking for quest travel.
Player decision The flight potion to brew the day you unlock Robux, if Magic Orb is still missing.
A tier
Player decision Take it if you already did Glinda and do not have Robux or Magic Orb yet.
Player decision A reward for finishing the pyramid, not a brew to rush first.
Player decision Equal on the clock to the other A-tier mounts. Brew it when the horseshoe is already on your table.
Player decision Skip it on the day you still need the Robux ingredient or the 20 gems.
Player decision Do not hunt a legacy ingredient only to match a brew you can replace with Flybux or the plain broom.
B tier
Player decision Use it only if you accept a wipe. It is the wrong brew for obbies and quest deliveries.
Player decision A speed trick after you already own Eggcano, not a reason to buy crate rolls.
C tier
Player decision Fun after the volcano. Do not use it as your travel brew if Flybux is available.
Player decision There is little reason to pick this over Swim plus extra hooves.
D tier
Player decision Wear the bee for pollen. Switch to Flybux or a hooved Swim potion when the quest is done.
Player decision The right travel brew at the start of the game. Replace it when you can brew Flybux or Fly-orb.
