Travel speed on Ziplines is fixed at 18 m/s on the inner lane and 21 m/s on the outer lanes, independent of a hero's base speed. Using a Zipline refreshes the hero's air dash and double jump. Pressing the down key (<code>Ctrl</code> by default) drops the hero from the Zipline while preserving momentum. | |||
Players start at their lane's zipline at the beginning of the match. Switching lanes will move them to the corresponding zipline. At the team's base, the player's starting lane zipline is highlighted with a halo effect. | |||

The 'Zipline Speed Boost' (<code>F</code> by default) can be activated while riding to grant the 'Zipline Boosted' buff. This ability has the following properties: | |||
* '''Speed Increase:''' +80% travel speed | * '''Speed Increase:''' +80% travel speed | ||

Destroying a [[Guardian#Base Guardian|base guardian]] permanently applies this 80% boost to its corresponding Zipline, turning it into an 'Express Line'. | |||
Additionally, the Movement [[Powerup]] increases Zipline Speed by 40-80% (scaling with game time) when active. This applies to both regular speed and boost. | |||
