How to Double Jump

Tap the Jump Button in Midair

Double jump can be performed after tapping the jump button in midair, or performing a jump twice. This allows Hornet to reach higher altitudes and gain better midair mobility.

Previously, after acquiring Faydown Cloak, pressing the jump button twice will always result in a double jump, superseding Drifter's Cloak.

This was avoided by holding the down button on the second press of the jump key to skip the double jump and initiate float or glide. However, this workaround has been removed in Patch 1.0.28470.

There's a small correction to be made about the cost of the bench unlocked with rosaries. As of writing this comment, the bench costs 60 rosaries, not 90.
