2. 💨 Strategic Sliding: Maximize Your Speed and Survival
- ✅ Slide after performing a dash, when going down ramps, or when using abilities to maintain high speed.
- ✅ Don't slide for the entire duration of the movement; release the crouch button slightly before it ends to avoid excessive deceleration.
- ✅ The exception is when shooting, where maintaining the full slide gives you infinite ammo.

3. 🤸 Air Strafing: Control Your Trajectory in the Air with Precision
- ✅ Use strafing to adjust your trajectory in the air after using movement abilities or game events.
- ✅ Move the mouse in the direction of the key you are pressing (A for left, D for right) for optimal control.
- ✅ Practice to find the ideal mouse movement speed; too fast or slow can reduce your speed.

4. 🧗 Slide While Holding: Increase Your Speed When Climbing Obstacles
- ✅ Hold down the crouch key while climbing any surface to gain a speed boost and slide a short distance after climbing.
- ✅ Sliding while holding is essential to move faster than players who don't use it.
- ✅ Combine sliding while holding with strafing to navigate more effectively around the map.
- ✅ Practice sliding while holding until it becomes a habit to improve your overall mobility.

5. 🧱 Wall Bouncing: Gain Height and Momentum Without Spending Stamina
- ✅ Press the jump key while you are in the air and near a wall to perform a wall bounce.
- ✅ Press the movement key in the direction you want to bounce (W for forward, A for left, D for right).
- ✅ Use wall bouncing to gain height, reach distant areas, or move faster without spending stamina.
- ✅ Combine wall bouncing with strafing and sliding while holding for greater versatility.

6. 🚀 Edge Boost: An Advanced Variant of Wall Bouncing
- ✅ The edge boost is a wall bounce that is performed on the edge of a wall, providing an even greater speed boost.
- ✅ You can perform an edge boost on any edge in the game, even on very small walls.
- ✅ Due to its inconsistency, master the other movement techniques first before attempting the edge boost.
09:33 - 11:19
7. 🚡 Zipline Dash: Increase Your Speed with an Additional Boost
- ✅ When jumping off a zipline, press the crouch key instead of the space key to maintain high speed.
- ✅ Combine this with a dash to get a significant speed boost, powered by the zipline.
- ✅ When performing the zipline dash, it is recommended to dash in the direction of the A or D keys to be able to strafe more efficiently.
- ✅ Combine the zipline dash with other movement techniques, such as strafing and wall bouncing, to maximize your mobility.
