How to Jump
Use the Jump Icon
You could jump by selecting the jump icon on the character interface or pressing Z on your keyboard. Do note that using Jump during battle consumes your Bonus Action throughout your turn.
The Uses of Jump
| Various Uses of Jump |
|---|
Reaching Inaccessible Areas Navigating Through the Battlefield Escaping Elemental Hazards |
Reaching Inaccessible Areas
Using jump enables your characters to reach places that are otherwise impossible to reach through normal means. Elevated platforms or surfaces separated by gaping crevices are some of the areas where jumping is worthwhile to use.
Finding Secret Pathways
In some areas, you could also use jump to access alternative or hidden pathways in the game.
Navigating Through the Battlefield
You could use jump to maneuver your characters towards areas that can give you an advantage in battle. You could use jump to reach long-range attackers situated on higher ground to decrease their advantage in ranged attacks.
You could also turn the tables and jump towards elevated areas during combat, giving yourself an edge over your opponents with your own ranged attacks or spells. Melee attackers will be forced to waste a turn just so they could reach you.
Escaping Elemental Hazards
Jumping enables you to escape from elemental surfaces that have ensnared you. By taking advantage of the jump action, you could distance yourself from the area effect of the elemental surface.
How to Increase Distance of Jump
Increase your Strength Ability
The Strength Ability of your character determines the distance of your jump. Try increasing your strength ability by levelling up your character or consuming items that would increase its value.
What is Strength?
Use the Jump Spell
You can cast the Jump Spell on your character so that the distance of your jump will increase threefold.
Cast Feather Fall to Negate Fall Damage
The Feather Fall Spell may not increase the distance of your jump, but it can help negate fall damage you may receive from jumping towards long distances.
