Leap Smash
The Leap Smash ability launches the Goliath high up into the air before he lands back into the ground with a devastating attack. This attack is particularly useful for the Goliath as you’ll be able to cover a pretty large distance and get to the hunters quickly. As you upgrade Leap Smash, the damage of the attack will increase, and so too will the area of the splash damage, making it an effective move for crowd control.
You’ll find that Leap Smash comes in handy when you’re dealing with hunters that have the high ground. Hank, the first Support character you unlock in Evolve, has the Orbital Barrage ability that can cause you a world of pain if you’re not paying attention. The upside to this situation is, Hank needs a vantage point to get a good aim with the Orbital Barrage. When playing against a party with Hank in it, it might be a good idea to be aware of his position and Leap Smash your way up to him when he looks like he’s about to unleash Orbital Barrage.
Leap Smash is an all-around useful traversal ability that can allow you to close distances in a short period of time, as well as to get away from your enemies if you’re ever in a pinch.
