The dodge test

Draws the line it will take, then takes it.

THE TELL

It stops, plants in place, and a dotted line snaps out ahead of it toward where you are standing right now.

WHAT IT DOES

A magenta arrowhead trails you at 0.51x your speed, then stops, plants, and draws a dotted lane straight at you while it winds up for about three quarters of a second. It dashes down that exact lane at about 3x your speed, then sits still for about a second after. Touching one costs 7. Getting caught by the dash costs 11.

HOW IT KILLS YOU

You run away from the lane instead of stepping out of it, and the dash takes you from behind because nothing you do outruns it. The other way is you keep circling the same direction you already were and drift back into the line before it fires.

HOW YOU BEAT IT

  1. Break sideways the moment the dotted lane appears, and only sideways. The aim is already locked, so a short step across beats a long run away.

  2. Read the lane. It ends exactly where the dash stops, and the marks filling in from the body outward are your countdown, so get clear before they reach the tip.

  3. Dump damage during the second or so it sits still after a dash. It is the softest thing on the field, so one free window is usually the whole fight. Aim back at it and keep walking, so that window costs you no distance. Or park a wreck in the lane and let the dash die on it.

Speeds are multiples of yours while you are not shooting. Holding fire slows you to about two thirds of that. Health grows 16% a minute, compounding, with no cap.
