Jumps

The loaded jump, the running leap, the double jump, the fast fall and thin platforms.

Jumping gets you onto platforms, over attacks and back to the stage. A quick tap is a small hop; holding the button a moment gives a high jump; and you can jump once more in the air.

How to do it

Device	Jump button
Keyboard	Space
Gamepad	A (bottom face button)
Phone	JUMP

The kinds of jump

Jump	How	What you get
Small hop	Tap jump while standing or walking	A hop a little lower than your hero's own height
High jump (the loaded jump)	Hold jump a moment, then let go	Close to three times your hero's height
Running leap	Jump while running or sprinting	An instant forward leap, with no loading
Double jump	Jump again in the air	One per airtime. Landing or grabbing a ledge gives it back

In the air

Move	How	Good to know
Fast fall	Press down while falling	You fall faster, but land a little more slowly
Steering	Left and right	Limited: you keep the speed you had on the ground

Thin platforms

The small platforms above the floor are thin: you can jump up through them from below, and drop through them by pressing down while standing on one. Which platforms a stage has is on the stages.

When to use which

A small hop is the quickest way off the ground.
The high jump and the double jump together reach the upper platforms.
Keep the double jump for getting back when you are thrown off.

Small kindnesses

A jump pressed just before you land still happens on landing.
A jump pressed just after you walk off an edge still counts as a jump from the ground.

What	Value
The quickest tap	Still winds up for 3 frames (0.05 s); about 22 pixels high, a little less than the hero's own height
A full load	A third of a second (20 frames) or more; about 70 pixels, close to three times the hero's height
Running leap	Once you are moving faster than a walk: about 40 pixels high, with no loading
Double jump	About 45 pixels; one per airtime
Fast fall	Falls about half as fast again; the landing pause is 7 frames instead of 3
Landing after a super sprint jump	0.3 seconds (18 frames)
A jump remembered before landing	Up to a tenth of a second (6 frames)
A jump just after walking off an edge	Up to 5 frames

Things that change the jump

Outfit weight: Swift leaves the ground 6% faster (about an eighth higher), Sturdy 6% slower. See outfit weights.
The greatsword: jumps at 88% of the usual speed, about three quarters of the height. See Two hands.
Neither changes the recovery leap or the jump from a ledge.
On Beacon crag the top row is too high for a full jump plus a second jump (they reach 115 pixels): you climb by a lower platform.
