Bastion/Pike Vault

Pike Vault is a Brusher's Pike Skill, currently only used in NG+ categories. Using it propels the Kid up into the air, stalls for a second, and then makes him fall back down, dealing damage around the spot he landed at.

This ability is not used for its damage part in speedruns. Its most useful application is covering distance without falling, because you can move in the air using it. If you use it while rolling, that will let you gain much more distance, especially if you couple the roll with mouse movement. As a result parts of some levels can be skipped by Pike Vaulting between platforms that you wouldn't normally be able to reach as fast. All these potential Pike Vaults are listed and explained on this page.
