What it does

Pick the foe nearest the cursor within 3.5 tiles (line of sight). Vault over it on a 20 px arc (0.44 s; above 12 px for the middle 60 %) and at the top drive the point down into it: power 3.0, poise 28, from above: a raised shield or guard doesn't block it (the hero's block step at combat.ts:340 and any NPC guard or shield wall are skipped) and it can't be parried (noParry). If it was winding up an attack, the attack is lost (state Chase, as a stun breaks a wind-up, but no stunT). You land behind it at the tip's distance, facing it; your next spear blow within 1.0 s is a tip blow. An L foe isn't passed over: a leaping downstrike from the front, landing at the tip, same damage. Bodies don't block; leapPath with no low ground.

Edge: Feathered Heel

The vault takes 0.35 s instead of 0.44 s.
