A downward sword strike that bounces you up off whatever it hits

Striking downward onto an enemy or a row of spikes and popping back up is a favourite move. It breaks when one swing bounces many times, when it bounces off the ground, or when the extra jump never comes back. Here are the rules for one clean bounce per swing.

Why this works

The bounce is a reward for hitting something, so it should belong to the swing, not the number of things hit. One bounce per swing keeps chaining a skill the player has to earn target by target instead of a free flight.

When not to use it

Wrong if the hero is meant to fight on the ground and jumping should stay simple. The bounce adds a second job to the jump button. Also leave it out when no enemies are above hazards, since the move would never be used.
