Leaping Stone

Leaping Stone is a skill available in Dragon's Dogma.

Description

"An advanced form of Stepping Stone. Kicks forward from an extended range, then jumps off the target, high into the air."

An advanced version of Stepping Stone. Becomes Soaring Stone with a suitable Strider's Ring or Band equipped.

Activates the augment Eminence.
One may launch off Creatures and Foes, Pawns , Treasure Chests, Ore deposits, Portcrystal, crates, boxes and other destructible environmental objects (e.g. a pillar or bookcase) as a launching target.
- At Bitterblack Isle Harbor, it is possible to launch from the resting bench next to Olra to reach the chest above. This skill can also help reach the two Macabre Sculptures, the Rubicite ore deposits, the three chests, and Daimon's Sanctuary exit gate all found around the Bitterblack Isle entrance as well.
- At The Abbey these skills can be used to gain access to the bell tower of the church.
The leap itself does no damage.
Jumping off foes may Stagger and so interrupt them if they are spellcasting.
A jumping heavy attack is a basic follow up to this skill.
Useful in combination with Helm / Skull / Brain Splitter. This skill will self-catapult the Arisen off of any base to easily reach enemy heads and hearts. From greater heights, Skull Splitter hits more times on the way down with devastating effect.
Useful for gaining height when attacking large foes, such as a Cyclops.
Leaping Stone has the highest jump, whilst Soaring Stone adds some directional control in the air.
