Bomb jumping is the act of using a bomb or similar explosive to propel oneself to great heights or across large distances quickly. It is a risky venture, since explosives can be dangerously volatile. Knights often use bomb jumps to bypass the opposing team's defenses.
Contents
Dangers
Bombs are dangerous to handle, which means that using them to bomb jump requires skill. If not executed in a correct manner, a player can damage nearby entities, including structures, allies and enemies. The launch executed by the bomb jump is also dangerous itself, as a player could easily sustain damage while landing. Falling extreme distances or landing on spikes may kill the player.
Kegs and Landmines
The explosions that results from a Keg or Landmine, will kill the player - these cannot be used to perform bomb jumps, causing severe damage to the player in close vicinity to the explosion or death.
Other Classes
Because other classes have the ability to pick up bombs, they too can perform bomb jumps, though it usually results in their own death or massive loss of health
How-to
There are at least 3 distinct techniques for bomb jumping.
Shield-Glide
The shield glide technique, isn't a bombjump that will propel you into the air, or over large distances - instead, it cause you to rapidly descend, causing explosive damage in the air, where the bomb exploded.
- Standing close to a ledge, ignite the bomb with [Spacebar]
- When the bomb begins to flash, jump up and shield glide.
- The bomb will explode, launching the knight diagonally down, causing the explosions damage where the bomb went off.
Shield glide bomb jumps are useful for damaging an enemy archer just out of slash range, or high damage stomps from the air.
Side Bomb Jump
To execute a side bomb jump you must:
- Light a bomb (a drop is not needed for this technique).
- Wait till the bomb begins to flash and facing the direction opposite to where you want to go.
- Press C or Spacebar to throw the bomb just as the bomb is about to explode, while shielding it.
- The bomb will explode, launching the player in the opposite direction to which he threw the bomb.
Side Bomb Jumps are often used to get over large spike pits/valleys, but are not helpful for going over towers.
Ground Bomb Jump
Ground bomb jumps are used to get high of the ground, or over towers, but do not provide as much horizontal travel.
- Throw a lit bomb on the ground in front of you.
- As the bomb begins to flash, jump above the bomb and hold shield towards it (or simply shield down no need to jump).
- The bombs explosion will launch the player high into the air.
This technique allows players to jump onto/inside enemy structures.
Other Techniques
Several other techniques for bomb jumping have been devised, such as the:
- Double bomb jump
- Bomb Jump
- Triple Bomb Jump
Please note that these videos are of the classic version, however the same principles still apply.
