To get the vertical equivalent, just slap a rocket on your shield and aim it. Higher and faster.
Another excellent tip I hadn't really considered! I've not really spent any time getting particularly creating with the building stuff so am probably missing out on some excellent experimental builds. Though I remember picking up a flamethrower shield in the early game and being disappointed by how quickly it broke/wore out, that's probably a contributing factor there.
One annoyance is that they crowd you and sometimes you can trigger their abilities when you're trying to loot - if that's Tulin then you're sending all of the lootable gear 100ft away in a gust of wind...
Absolutely, especially if you're running around picking up a load of items (a ton of monster look for exampled) and you're rapidly tapping A then suddenly it's flying everywhere.
Still, points for being less of an annoying prick than Revali

Yep, need to farm LOADS of zonaite to upgrade the battery to make things like flamethrowers last. They break quickly when fused with weapons, but seem to last indefinitely when attached to say a horse harness... Hint nudge. Have made several chariots with blades on the wheels and flamethrowers/lasers spraying sideways.
Also lose the lasers/flame emitters and just drive around long grass with spinning blades = mobile hylian rice farm.

I've just completed the fourth sage and tbh they're all a little underwhelming but just having them there to tank for you is very helpful.
