For example, if your body is right in front of a wall, while mid-air on the wall you need to S to wall jump off it. If the wall is to your right, press, A. You simply just have to press the direction button opposite the wall.
It’s important to note, you can only do this once. So you can’t chain together wall jump and stay in the air forever, as you need to land first before being able to do another one.
Additionally, you cannot wall jump from the ground. You have to be mid-air while on a wall to pull off a wall jump. To be mid-air, you can just simply jump from the ground, or come off from being airborne thanks to an ability.
Performing a wall jump does not consume any stamina, so you are the only downside of doing a wall jump is having to get the timing right.
So if you’re a Viscous main, especially a particularly mobile one at that, you will have a field day with the new wall jumps. You can check out ourtier list hereto see where he stacks with the rest of the cast.
