Troopers with Super-Jump have the ability to perform super-human jumping feats thanks to special gear, augmentations, or evolutionary advantages.

SUPER-JUMP

AUTOMATIC SKILL

Movement, Optional

Effects

This Special Skill alters the user's Jump Skill from an Entire Order Skill to a Short Movement Skill.
It also allows Troopers to jump vertically, diagonally or horizontally, up to his first MOV Attribute value in inches if declaring Jump as a Short Movement Skill, and up to his second MOV Attribute value if declaring a second Jump as a Short Movement Skill. (See FAQs & Errata.)
By transforming Jump into a Short Movement Skill, the Super-Jump Special Skill allows its user to perform other Short Movement Skills or Short Skills while performing a jump (for example: Jump + BS Attack). (See Trooper Activation.)
The user of this Special Skill may declare Jump as an Entire Order by adding both values of their MOV Attribute into a single jump.
As with the Jump Skill, by declaring Jump Troopers with Super-Jump cannot benefit from Partial Cover MODs during their trajectory of their jump.

If the Trooper is or becomes Impetuous (due to having the Frenzy Characteristic or any other effect), when they activate in the Impetuous Phase they can use Jump whenever the list of allowed Skills says ‘Move’.

REMEMBER

When declaring the use of Super-Jump, the complete and exact trajectory that Trooper will perform must be specified so the rival player may declare all their AROs.
During their entire trajectory, Troopers have a 360˚ LoF.

Q: How does Super-Jump work when activating multiple Troopers and not all of them have the Super-Jump Special Skill?

A: If the Troopers declare Jump as a Short Skill, then any of the Troopers that don't have Super-Jump will perform an Idle instead. If the Troopers declare Super-Jump as an Entire Order, they can all Jump but the Troopers with Super-Jump will be able to add both their MOV values together.

Q: How are Jump and Climb movement measured?

A: When measuring Jump or Climb movement, you can measure from any point of the Trooper's Silhouette at the start of the movement, but you must measure to the base's outer edge and underside at the end of the movement. The Trooper can vault over obstacles (parapets etc.) that are equal to or lower than the height of their Silhouette as normal.

Development team note: By gaining distance from the Silhouette and allowing the Trooper to ignore parapets (as long as they are equal to or lower than the Silhouette height), movement while Jumping or Climbing is facilitated. This makes these movements easier and gives extra value to Troopers with Super-Jump and Climbing Plus. As we can see in the image, the Jump path is the same even without the parapet.
