*Can leap over obstacles, monsters, players, [[mercenary|mercenaries]] and [[pet]]s to target within range and line of sight. If no target is selected, will try to select one within range automatically upon landing.

*Selected target must be outside [[melee]] range, otherwise Attack is performed.

*Can leap over obstacles, monsters (including [[Barricade]]s, [[Barricaded Door]]s, and [[Barricaded Tower]]s), players, [[mercenary|mercenaries]] and [[pet]]s to targeted point within range and line of sight. Strangely, this includes leaping over archways in the [[Inner Cloister|Inner]] and [[Outer Cloister]]s and over bars in the [[Jail Level 1|Jails]] and [[Flayer Dungeon Level 1|Flayer Dungeon]].

[[File:Leap line of sight.png|center|frame|[[Barbarian (Diablo II)|Barbarian]] leaps over bars in Flayer Dungeon (presumably the ceiling is thick enough to allow him to smash through it without breaking the surface of the upper floor).]]

*There is no [[stamina]] loss when leaping.
 +
*[[velocity|Movement speed]] does not affect time spent leaping: it is always equivalent to base run speed. [http://diablo3.ingame.de/forum/blub-forum-2870/arbeitshread-frogger-1734534/] Leaping animation itself has minimum length of 15 frames, with take-off in the sixth frame and landing in the twelfth frame.

*While leaping, can still be hit by [[melee]] attacks and [[radius|radial]] effects like [[aura]]s, [[curse]]s and explosions when within range.
 +
*[[Missile]]s cannot normally collide with Barbarian while leaping, whether they are static like ground fires or fired horizontally or vertically. However, he can still be hit by missiles fired by ranged unit when directly above it as it fires. [http://diablo3.ingame.de/forum/blub-forum-2870/arbeitshread-frogger-1734534/]
 +
*Hit checks are still performed for [[attack]]s that require them, and [[block]]ing is still fully effective while leaping.
 +
*No [[Chance to Cast]] modifiers apply while leaping, although Chance to Cast [[on Attack]], [[on Striking]], [[When You Kill an Enemy]] and [[When You Level-up]] are applied by the attack.
 +
*Cannot switch weapons or access inventory, [[potion]]s or other skills while leaping.
 +
*Selected target must be outside melee range before leaping, otherwise Attack is performed. Target must be within melee range upon landing to execute Leap Attack. Chance of target moving out of range before landing can be reduced by equipping weapons with longer range.  
 
*Successful attack always [[Knockback|knocks back]] eligible target. Overlay displayed is the same as that used by [[Bash]], [[Charge]] and [[Crushing Blow]].

*Only weapon type affects length of Leap Attack sequence: does not speed up or slow down with any positive or negative [[attack rate]] modifiers.

*Minimum sequence length (and thus maximum attack rate) while attacking continuously cannot be achieved if target is selected or knocked back. Instead, place cursor at Barbarian's feet to minimise leaping distance to 2 yards (three sub-tiles), while selecting Leap Attack on right mouse button and holding it down without selecting a target, or while selecting it on left mouse button and holding it down with the Shift key without selecting target. This allows Leap Attack to be used against a target even when within melee range, and automatically selects new targets once previous targets have been knocked back or killed.
 +
*When obstructed by targets, hold down Alt button to prevent target from being selected (although any items on the ground may be selected instead).
 +
*When attacking a selected target, it can be attacked continuously as long as it is knocked back out of melee range. Since leaping takes 7 frames longer, minimum attack intervals are as follows:

*When attacking a selected and stationary target, positions for landing adjacent to target and final destinations of target after being knocked back are as follows:
 +
 
 +
 
 +
[[File:Leap Attack.png|center|frame|[[Size]] 2 targets will normally end up within [[melee|range]] 6 when Barbarian lands directly above, below or to left or right, otherwise they will be within range 5; size 3 targets will normally always end up within range 6 after being knocked back. [[Range adder]] 3-4 weapons place him in these ranges; only range adder 0-2 weapons normally place him outside, allowing consecutive Leap Attacks.]]
