Questions About Beast and Ninja Run

Just purchased Beast Run and Ninja Run from the market and got all the sprint powers and the choice of the ghost slaying axe or sands of mu. Obviously both these travel powers have increased my speed, agility and leaping height/distance quite a bit. I notice that falling or jumping from a certain height will cause me to loose HP if too high, but that is obviously increased with these run powers.

My Question is- Does anyone know what the height limit is with both Beast and Ninja run before you would land and loose HP?

Did not know that it was not that big of a deal. I thought that you could die or go to the hospital from falling too far. Thanks for the info lol. It could come in handy to know at some point, I don't know when butit could!!!

A fall won't kill you, but if you land among NPCs who attack you they can finish you off.

My understanding of this (an I may be mistaken) is that if you land at the same or a higher elevation than you launched from, you won't take any damage regardless of how high you jump, but if you land at a lower elevation that you launched from you will take damage based on that differential, but again it won't matter how high you jumped.

Otherwise no one would ever take super leap.

Used to see people going up really high buildings then jumping off them. Still not sure why it was amusing but it was a somewhat regular occurence. Haven't seen it for a while now. Mostly in Port Oakes for some reason. Guess the building were pretty high and accessible to low level characters.

That makes a lot of sense. Thanks.

My understanding was that when you land after a fall, the game checks the vertical distance you fell (measured from the highest point of the jump if you jumped, or from where you stopped flying if you were flying before, or from the edge if you walked off a ledge). If that fall distance is less than your current maximum jump height, then you take no damage.

If you run a toggle like beast/ninja run or super jump, then your maximum jump height is increased. If my assumption above is correct, then turning off the super jump toggle mid-jump could result in a landing with significant fall damage.

This is probably most interesting for the Good vs Evil 30 second jump pack, which can often run out while you are in the air.

Okay Beast Run and Ninja run buff your maximum jump height.

MJH = Maximum distance you can "fall" without taking damage.

So, if you start off at one elevation, jump to maximum height, and wind up on a lower elevation, you'll take damage based on the difference between the two elevations (as if you had no jump height and stepped off the edge of a cliff).

Clicking on the linked image above will take you off the City of Heroes site. However, the guides will be linked back here.

Note however if you fall enough (and are low enough level, 50's tend to not need to worry that much) there a limit on the damage, it cannot bring you below 1 hp (even if already damaged; this is not via the one-shot code).

Ah the good ol Defiance 1.0! /Facepalm

Yeah, it was fun back then, jumping off a tall building and then wiping out huge spawns in Boomtown with 2 AoE's! Though most often the Alpha ended up killing you anyways.

As far as mini games go...

On my Empath I used to fly to the ceiling above Mrs. Liberty and drop, hitting Absorb Pain on anyone standing nearby right after landing would kill you. I must've commited suicide on that one guy over a dozen times, just for lulz.
