Flyby Attack is a monster feat rather than a combat feat, so a 2nd-level fighter cannot take it as a bonus combat feat, unless that fighter has the Airborne Ambusher archetype.
The strix in my party loves the Death from Above combat feat.
Archery before the Rapid Shot feat is weak because that balances the natural protection of standing back from the front line. A flying strix has the protection of flight, which makes the protection of a rear position redundant. And saying, "archery for safety," about the party member who likely has the highest hit points and best armor class of the party sounds downright cowardly.
In contrast, a strix fighter that at first level will fly forward and trip the most dangerous foe to immobilize him and keep the rest of the party safe will be hailed as a hero. Trip builds are weak at higher levels due to giant opponents with ridiculously high CMDs and non-humanoid opponents with no legs. Take advantage of tripping while it is strong.
sorry edited my build order and it removed the part where i stated my dm approved the flyby attack feat... and thank you for the info i shall add death from above
