Jump attack dps boost?

I've heard for NW's that jump attacking gives a dps boost, but I don't understand why/how. Could you explain that for me please it'd be much appreciated as well as could anyone tell me if this dps boost effects NL's as well? Thanks

Does the ability to hold down 2 keys at once and have it work only work on certain keyboards? It doesn't seem to work for me. Would I have to get a new keyboard or could certain keys just not work when pressed simultaneously? Should I switch around my jump/attack keys?

It would be great if they can give us NL's that feature.

I jump throw because its fun lol and because standing on the ground is incredibly boring and slow if I have to attack and then move when I could do both at the same time

Press Jump and Quintuple Throw at the same time without letting go of either of the keys. It'll be pretty obvious whether it works or not

Doesn't work for NL. Pretty sure it's due to the way NW's flash jump works.

For maximum DPS you'll want to use MPE green along with booster and 1 other speed boost (Decent SI, inner ability, etc) and have as low of a jump stat as possible.

If done properly, you're using Quintuple Throw twice in one jump. The 4 stars are thrown on the ground and the 5th is in the air. The next attack starts immediately after with the 4 stars thrown in the air and the 5th on the ground. Check the Night Walker forums on how to do this.

it pretty much allows a 1.5m NW be able to solo hellux with time remaining,

when a 1.7m nw barely finishes hellux without jump atking.

Iirc, jump throwing on night walkers shortens the throwing animation of the exploding star. So it would make nw attack slightly faster, but it doesn't affect night lords at all.

It does affect NW's attack speed, it's AT LEAST 1.5x faster than the normal attack time. I believe it has to do with the attack animation of NW's QT, just compare a few people attacking on the ground to people attacking in the air, it's pretty much two streams of stars compared to one.
Also, it doesn't affect night lord for some reason. It's just a perk for night walkers.
