If the special button is held, however, the move can serve as a [[recovery]]: after pulling Lloid out, Villager jumps on him and rides him across the stage. While on Lloid, Villager can adjust the speed of flight with the control stick, and can also jump off at any time. If Villager jumps off, rides into a wall or rides until Lloid explodes automatically, they will become [[helpless]]. However, if they ride Lloid into an opponent or anything else with a hurtbox (such as a [[crate]]), he will bounce upward and not become helpless. Lloid is also much more powerful when ridden, dealing 16% damage with strong knockback that can KO at 120%.

Lloid can be [[reflect]]ed or destroyed even when Villager is riding him, which will shut down recovery attempts; worse, if the former occurs, the Lloid may even explode on the Villager if they don't dismount him on time, dealing damage that may easily lead to a possible self-destruct at high damage percentages.

This move also immediately negates Villager's momentum, against both horizontal and vertical knock back when used, a property that is useful in and of itself; it can throw off opponents' attempts to [[juggle]] or [[edgeguard]] Villager, and if used immediately out of [[hitstun]] can even allow Villager to survive hits that would otherwise KO. In Smash 4, Lloid Rocket is one of three special moves in the game that can completely negate momentum, the others being {{SSB4|Donkey Kong}}'s [[Spinning Kong]] and {{SSB4|Yoshi}}'s [[Egg Roll]].
