Nice guess!

You have one of the ideas, but it's not enough to solve the riddle. Try to go a little more on the descriptive side.

Coming from the second round
Flying wisdom I have found.
If I’m down, I’ll rise up quick
And a miss I’ll never pick.

If my mates have equal skills,
Be afraid, ‘cause we score kills.
Never try to smoke my field,
Or I’ll bite away your shield.
