Does jump attacking help or not? Does it make you get hit easier? What are the advantages and disadvantages to jump attacking?

When you jump attack you have a higher chance of inflicting a critical hit thus dealing more damage to the enemy.
A disadvantage I've noticed is that if you fail to land the hit and he hits you instead you hit back quite a distance causing you to take damage while he/she lands a free hit.

You inflict more damage whilst falling (thus the short fall in jumping), and you inflict more knockback when sprinting.

It is quite risky to jump in a fight, as it puts you in the air which can send you flying. I tend to jump as i enter a fight then just stick to strafing.

When you jump and hit, you'll get critical hits, by critical i mean more powerful hits; instead of doing 2 heart damage, you can be able to do 3 heart damage with a stone sword. I can be dangerous because if you jump in the wrong occasion, you will be stepped back flying and you will be inflicted way more damage, I wouldn't recommend you to do it, instead as a better tactic do strafing and click as fast as you little fingers can handle it. ;)

Moving to Survival games discussion.

Because I was about to report it with "Move this to "Strategies" and then I saw your comment ^^
