Applications
Backdash cancelling is a simple trick that gets a lot of mileage. In its simplest form, it is a convenient way to quickly traverse flat sections of terrain, spamming backdashes is one of the quickest forms of movement and is available right away. Additionally, any action that can be cancelled by a backdash can also benefit from BDCs, allowing you to bypass the cooldown of shards, or the attack speed of weapons. You can also use this to cancel out of recovery frames from long drops without losing time.

Wearing the moon belt will increase the distance of your backdashing, and make BDC spamming move even faster.
