Watch the Shrink

Always keep track of which sections are about to disappear and avoid being trapped there.

Map Knowledge

Timing is Key

Wait for the right moment to strike - sometimes patience beats aggression in these battles.

Timing

Edge Recovery

If you get pushed near an edge, immediately aim back toward the center to recover your position.

Positioning

Study Movement Patterns

Most players run in straight lines - use this knowledge to predict their movements accurately.

Prediction

Avoid Overkill

Using too much power can cause you to slip or lose control - precision beats raw force.
