Cata No Bot Solo Speedrun - Waterfront [6:42]

Waterfront...oh boy. This run was so tense--the assassin at 6:40...

Chains first because the rats blow up at the end of this room and not barrels. There are so many nice kite paths in the chain room. I want more maps like this. I number chains 1 as the closest, 2 in the left corner, 3 in the right corner up the stairs and 4 the closest to the exit. Chain 1 and 4 can be jumped on where you can then jump to dodge or push--be SURE to push as you come down. Circling around chains 2 and 3 works well, especially for longer range weapons that can attack through the back and sides of the column. The ladder by chain 4 forces the rats on a long kite path which gives you the space you need to finish up--just be sure to push before you hop on to minimize the chance of SV 1 shotting you.

In the middle area I recommend using what I call water path back to initial spawn which funnels the spawns and makes kiting much easier. After you finish the first event rats continue to spawn so push push push or you will be slowed.

For barrels, I recommend the path I took here. If you have room go ahead and hit barrel 2 else chuck it forward by barrel 4 (in the alcove). Be sure to chuck barrels asap after picking them up to avoid a kidney poke also blowing up your barrel. The little alcove I used to hide out is very safe--rats come only 1 way and specials have a hard time getting to you directly.

For the second middle part set up a water to basement kite path like I did here--just be sure to be just getting out of basement (or water if you must) when ogre spawns to avoid getting cut-off.

On mechanics, some notes. Side dodge or side dodge jump are both efficient speed wise--side dodge is a bit faster dodge jump gives you time to look up and fire off a quick arrow. It is important to note that blocking and pushing while dodging do no affect dodge speed or distance (neither does movespeed trinket). I've come to realize that taking kiting to the next level is a process of dodging where your instincts tell you to push or block.
