You Better Jump... Jump! (Destiny)

Getting around in Bungie games is usually a fun experience and that is certainly no different in Destiny. Vertical movement modes like Lift, Double Jump, Glide and the very sought after Blink have become integral parts of making the PVE and PVP experiences fast-paced and fun. Do you have a favourite already? Is there something you're interested in trying? Here's a refresher on the many jumps of Destiny:

Striker and Defender
Lift: Jump and press [Jump again] while in the air to activate Lift.
Increased Height: Upgrades Lift to travel to greater heights.
Increased Control: Upgrades Lift for better directional control while in the air.
Catapult: Upgrades Lift to provide a strong initial burst of momentum.

Gunslinger
Double Jump: Jump a second time after leaving the ground.
Better Control: Upgrades Double Jump for better directional control while in the air.
Triple Jump: Upgrades Double Jump with a third jump.
Higher Jump: Upgrades Double Jump for even greater height.

Bladedancer
Double Jump: Jump a second time after leaving the ground.
Higher Jump: Upgrades Double Jump for even greater height.
Better Control: Upgrades Double Jump for better directional control while in the air.
Blink: A short distance teleport that replaces Double Jump.

Voidwalker
Glide: Double jump in mid-air to activate glide.
Focused Control: Upgrades Glide for better directional control while in mid-air.
Focused Burst: Upgrades Glide to provide an initial burst of speed.
Blink: A short distance teleport that replaces Glide.

Sunsinger
Glide: Double jump in mid-air to activate glide.
Focused Control: Upgrades Glide for better directional control while in mid-air.
Focused Burst: Upgrades Glide to provide an initial burst of speed.
Balanced Glide: Upgrades Glide to provide bonuses to both speed and control.

For Titan, I'm more interested in control than the initial burst of momentum. For Gunslinger, I think the Triple Jump would be more useful in getting around the map easily. I'm definitely interested in Blink, but we'll have to wait and see how it works.

How are you moving up in the world of Destiny?
