== Advanced Movement ==
As a physics based game, several principles in the real world are also modeled in-game. However, quirks with the game engine allow unique movement options that are not readily apparent.

=== Melee Jump ===
Melee jumping is the technique of using a heavy melee timed with a ''Wall Jump'' to go up without double jumping, thus saving a Stamina bar.[[File:Melee_Jump.mp4|center|800px]]<center>'''Melee Jumping and then ''Mantling'''''</center>

=== Corner Boost ===  
''Corner boosting'' is a technique that exploits the game's wall jump mechanics to achieve greater vertical velocity than a standard wall jump. The effect is believed to occur due to the following implementation behavior:

*'''Velocity Reset on Wall Jump Initiation''' – When a wall jump is performed, the game first sets the character's velocity to a fixed absolute value.
*'''Collision Normal Calculation''' – The game determines the direction of the jump by using the normal vector of the character's collision capsule at the nearest point of contact with the wall.
*'''Upward-Angled Normals on Corners''' – Because the collision capsule is rounded, the normal vector near a corner can point diagonally upward or downward rather than purely sideways. When the normal is angled upward, the resulting velocity is applied at a steeper angle, leading to increased upward momentum.

==== Visual Comparison ==== 
*Normal Wall Jump – Final velocity is directed primarily sideways, following a standard wall jump.
*Corner Boost – Final velocity is angled higher due to the upward-tilting normal, resulting in a stronger ascent.

=== Dropdown Corner Boost ===
Same as ''Corner Boost'', ''Dropdown Corner Boost'' can be done on any edge in the game. To perform it, drop down from an edge and wall jump to gain extra height without using stamina.[[File:Dropdown_Corner_Boost.mp4|center|800px]]<center>'''Dropdown Corner Boosting'''</center>

=== Dash Jump Cancel ===
Dash Jump Canceling is a technique that allows for Jumping immediately after a Dash without performing a Dash Jump. After performing a Dash for a short duration it is possible to spend 1 [[Stamina]] to perform a Dash Jump. Casting an ability during the Dash Jump window will immediately cancel it. This can then be followed up with a normal Jump. When done correctly a Dash Jump Cancel can be used to travel further than a Dash.

Only some abilities provide a benefit when used to Dash Jump Cancel. Abilities with long cast time or abilities that slow movement during cast provide almost no benefit.
