The Air Sprite is one of the newer Rare Sprites in Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 3, and it leans entirely into movement. Equip it and you become faster and harder to pin down, which makes it a strong pick for repositioning and escaping fights. Getting one is mostly about opening the right chests during a match and then surviving long enough to keep it.
Quick answer: Open Sprite Chests, Normal Chests, and Rare Chests to find an Air Sprite, equip it in your Sprite slot, then take it to an extraction point (or win the round) to lock it into your collection.
Where the Air Sprite drops
The most reliable way to find an Air Sprite is to crack open chests. Sprite Chests are the best target because they guarantee a Sprite every time you open one. Normal and Rare Chests can also contain the Air Sprite, and it tends to show up more often than some of the other Rare Sprites this season.
Sprite Locator Chests are worth seeking out as well, since they improve your odds of pulling the Sprite you want. Beyond chests, you can also take an Air Sprite off another player by knocking them out while they are carrying it. Trading is an option too, offering a variant a squadmate does not have in exchange for one they do.
What the Air Sprite does
With an Air Sprite equipped, your sprint speed increases and your sprinting jump height goes up. It also removes fall damage, so you can drop from tall structures or cliffs without taking a hit to your health.
This is a pure mobility Sprite. It lets you move across the map quickly, take riskier routes over rooftops and terrain, and break contact when a fight turns against you. If you value repositioning and staying alive over raw offense, it earns its inventory slot.

How to keep the Air Sprite after the match
Finding an Air Sprite is only the first half. To add it to your collection so you can use it in future matches, you have to extract it before you die.
Note: If you do not extract the Air Sprite or win the match with it, you lose it along with any level progress you built up. A Portable Extractor Gizmo lets you set up an extraction anywhere, which is useful when you cannot reach a fixed point in time.
Summoning and leveling the Air Sprite
After you have extracted an Air Sprite at least once, you can summon a fresh one at the start of a later match for 100 Sprite Dust. Summoned Sprites always start back at level 1, so leveling is something you rebuild each run.
You raise a Sprite’s level by opening chests and defeating enemies while it sits in your active Sprite slot. Higher levels strengthen the ability, and the special variants stack an extra bonus on top of the base movement effect. Gold adds bonus XP from eliminations, Gummy grants more Sprite Dust on extraction, Galaxy gives extra ammo when looting, and Holofoil adds a squad-wide chance to find rare Sprite variants in chests. These variants are far rarer than the base Air Sprite and cost more Dust to summon, so chase them for the bonus, not for a stronger core ability.
