The mobility of this mount and the ability to use items while riding it makes it a good mount for construction.Using wings with a fast ascent speed such as Fishron Wings, it is possible to fly upwards with the wings, deploy the mount and maintain the speed of the wings beyond the duration of the wings.Using wings with hovering abilities in tandem with Lightning, Frostspark, or Terraspark Boots can provide more speed and mobility, although they lack infinite flight time.When using this mount, it may be useful to replace accessories such as any Wings or Boots.The lantern hanging from the front of the broom also provides a small amount of light.Similarly, it is possible to fall from a height at max speed and then mount the broom and fly diagonally.Falling from maximum speed and mounting the broom allows it to fly at 51 mph.Other platforms can be passed downward with only a slight delay. The broom cannot fly downwards through "bottom" platforms (that is, hammered to the lower half of the block), and will instead bounce off them.The broom's hitbox is the same size as the player: 2 by 3 tiles, so unlike the UFO mount, the broom can fit through doorways making the Rod of Discord less essential for traversal.Because of this, one can fly at the same speed as, if not faster, than the Dungeon Guardian (41 mph consistently).However, when in Merfolk form granted by Neptune's Shell, Moon Shell or Celestial Shell, the broom acts like it is not submerged in liquid. When in liquids, the speed is reduced to 23 mph when flying horizontally and 21 mph when flying vertically, 26 mph when flying downward diagonally, and 31 mph when flying upward diagonally, respectively. When flying diagonally, however, it can reach 62 mph max. The broom mount has a top speed of 46 mph when flying horizontally and 41 mph when flying vertically.

Unlike the UFO mount, however, the player can still ride the broom in liquids.
