'''Air Vent Puddle Boosting'''<ref>AKA Jump Pad Puddle Boost</ref> can allow for large cross lane traversal. By chaining these boosts across multiple air vents, you can travel large swaths of distance, or even the entire map. | '''Air Vent Puddle Boosting'''<ref>AKA Jump Pad Puddle Boost</ref> can allow for large cross lane traversal.

=== Leap Launch === | |||
A Leap Launch combines the momentum of ''{{ItemIcon|Majestic Leap}}'' with a Puddle Punch to gain extra distance and air control. When combined with other mechanics such as The Cube Slope Acceleration, a Leap Launch allows you to travel across the map faster than any other known method, though this comes at the cost of multiple cooldowns. | |||
The main challenge with performing a Leap Launch is timing. The optimal delay between activating Puddle Punch and ''{{ItemIcon|Majestic Leap}}'' is 433 ms, which will result in a Leap Launch every time. However, even activating just 10 ms early or late results in a small chance of failure, causing you to go the normal distance for ''{{ItemIcon|Majestic Leap}}''. In practice, a delay between 405 and 450 ms will result in a successful Leap Launch the majority of the time. | |||
==== Leap Launch Practice ==== | |||
The simplest way to practice the timing for performing a Leap Launch is to enter the "Explore NYC" game mode. Then set a metronome to 139 bpm (138.568 bpm to be precise) and activate Puddle Punch and ''{{ItemIcon|Majestic Leap}}'' on consecutive beats. The delay between beats at 139 bpm is very close to the ideal 433 ms, making it easy to learn the activation timing. Alternatively, the 1998 hit electronic song [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UwZm4LZxeeI Lollipop (Candyman) by Aqua] also has an appropriate beats per minute. | |||

This can be useful for traversing large distances or rotating; you can travel nearly half of the map using a single Frogpunch. | This can be useful for traversing large distances or rotating; you can travel nearly half of the map using a single Frogpunch. | ||
