Okay, so we all know by now that a Knight can jump over big monsters.

K = Knight
H = Hero
M = Monster
X = Landing Zone
O = Empty space
| = elevation
- = wall
----------
KHMMx
OHMMx
---------

However, I noticed that the Knight is never "removed" from the map. Meaning, he blocks his own space. You could use this when you and another hero are adjacent to a monster. Example.

-----
KMMX
HMMX

You choose a hero within 3 spaces (H). H has a monster adjacent (M). Place K in the closest EMPTY space, which is on the opposite side of the map. Could be used to jump over a an elevation line easily:

-----
X|X
K|M
H|X
-----

I never see this type of OoH posted, mostly just the standard "leap over big monster" but my friend who doesn't really know the game tried to use OoH against a monster he was already adjacent too (another hero as well). I said no, that's dumb, you wouldn't' choose to do that. Then I thought about it more and was like well...wait...maybe. Also helps a lot in water spaces or when you're immobilized.

Am I missing anything?
