I don't really want to ditch the theme of the item by making it into something it was never intended to be (airborne immunity). I could see nerfing the blunt resistance and/or having the boots negate Kip Up for the wearer.

I can get behind that sort of change.

Would you be open to the airborne status negating the Elytra's knockdown effect perhaps instead?

Here’s the thing, and also here’s my head canon on the KD, first, Chaser will KD someone when they pass over them meaning one range of the Elytra user it just continues to propel the user forward. It shouldn’t negate airborne status cause then you’ll have to give that ability to the Golden Beetle it’s based on. Maybe nerf the blunt res, but 18% isn’t that bad considering it’s blunt resis.

Well the reasoning behind my suggestion was to allow Raijinken → Sharenzan and Rising Tide → Chaser to be exempt from Elytra's effect because when you're airborne you lose knockback immunity, so technically you can be pushed outside of one range. Maybe the way it's coded is that you get knockdown before you're pushed outside of one range. I just believe a boot slot being the be all end all for countering knockdowns is too powerful, the blunt resistance aside. Roc's Rise is at least class locked and Kip up is too to some extent, which makes them bearable
