Explosive Jumping is a commonly practiced means of getting from Point A on the ground, to Point B, which is generally above Point A. It has its roots in other games, and Heroes is a game that encourages the jumps as opposed to wanting to hinder them. This procedure can be used to seat yourself on a nice house's roof, letting you fire down on your enemies. A more team-hindering way is to use a plane, though they are not always available. Another alternative is the use of a jetpack, that costs either a couple of VP or Funds.
