As a squid kid, you have many more movement options than a normal third-person shooter character does. With Splatoon 3, there are even more ways to get around than ever before with things like the Squid Roll and Squid Surge options to master. However, these moves, plus your normal run and swim abilities, are not exactly meant for long-distance travel. While maps are generally compact in Splatoon 3, there are times when you need to spring across the level as fast as possible.

Easy

The Super Jump is the quickest way to instantly get yourself into the heat of the action in a Splatoon 3 match. This move lets you move directly to a teammate on the map to help them out in a pinch or just cut down on travel time. As useful (and nearly essential in more competitive modes) as this ability is, the game won't give you clear directions on how to do it. Thankfully, it is not a difficult maneuver to pull off if you follow these simple steps on how to Super Jump in Splatoon 3.

How to Super Jump

Super Jumps can be done at any time during a normal Splatoon 3 match. Aside from the obvious advantage, this move does have some risk involved as well. Here's how to pull it off.

Step 1: While playing in a match, either while on the map or spawning, press X to open up the map.

Step 2: Use your *D-pad *to select any of your three teammates on the map or the spawn point you want to jump to.

Step 3: Once your destination is selected, press A.

Step 4: Your character will transform into a squid and launch to that location.

As handy of a move as the Super Jump is, do know that if you activate it while on the map, you will want to make sure you're not in any danger since you will be left wide open while using the map and charging up to jump. Also, pick your landing spot carefully. Enemy players will see your targeted landing location on the map before you land, and you will have a brief moment upon landing where you're completely vulnerable, so it may not be wise to Super Jump into a fight in progress.

Civilization 7 is a game full of various currencies and mechanics that you need to manage all at once. Even with the best tips and tricks to help you out, knowing how to keep all your plates spinning is a major learning curve with new additions like Ages and Influence to keep in mind.

An army faces the ocean in Civilization 7.

Whether or not you're going for a military victory in Civilization 7, you will eventually engage in some combat. Building an army is one of the most basic tips and tricks, but the game fails to tell you one of the most important mechanics: healing. After coming out on top of a skirmish against another Leader -- or managing to retreat with your lives -- your units will be damaged. At first, there doesn't look like there's any way to heal them back up and you are stuck with a unit that will die the next time they are hit. We'll fill you in on the simple way to get your units back into fighting shape in Civilization 7.

How to earn Legacy Points in Civilization 7
Tanks and planes fly in Civilization 7.

Civilization 7 advances the historic 4X series in many ways that require a new set of tips and tricks to learn. Ages are the most prominent update, but Legacy Points go hand-in-hand with this new system and are even more complex. These new points are not only important for advancing to new Ages, but also giving you buffs and bonuses as your civ evolves. Legacy Points won't come easily, but you can't win the game without them. Here's a quick and simple breakdown of how these special points work since the tutorial wasn't all that clear about them.
How to earn Legacy Points

Legacy Points are milestones you unlock along each of the four main Legacy Paths. Legacy Paths, in short, track your (and all your opponent's) progress toward one of the four victory conditions (Culture, Economic, Military, and Science). Each path has three milestones that reward you with a Legacy Point before resetting once you begin the next Age.
