How to Dodge Waves Like a Pro: Movement Tips

Dying to waves constantly? This guide teaches you pro-level dodging techniques to survive even the fastest waves.

Two Ways to Survive Waves

Method 1: Outrun Them

With enough speed, you can simply run back to safety before waves hit.

Speed Requirements:

Method 2: Use Gorges

Gorges are dips and gaps in the terrain where waves pass over you.

This is the primary survival method when:

• You don’t have enough speed
• You’re caught far from base
• A Lightning wave hits

Finding Gorges

Gorges are scattered throughout the field:

• Narrow ravines between terrain
• Small pits and depressions
• Behind certain rock formations

Pro Tip: During slow waves, explore and memorize gorge locations instead of farming!

Movement Techniques

1. Wave Timer Watching

Always keep one eye on the wave timer!

2. Strafing

Move in diagonal patterns rather than straight lines. This helps you:

• Cover more ground
• Spot blocks while moving
• Reach gorges faster

3. Jump Timing

Jumping doesn’t help you dodge waves, but it can help you:

• Spot gorges from higher view
• Navigate terrain faster

Emergency Dodge Tactics

Caught far out when a fast wave hits? Here’s what to do:

1. Stop collecting blocks immediately
2. Look for nearest gorge
3. Sprint directly to it
4. Enter gorge and stop moving
5. Wait until wave passes

Advanced Techniques

Pre-positioning

Plan your farming route to always pass near gorges:

1. Start from base
2. Hit gorge 1
3. Collect nearby blocks
4. Move to gorge 2
5. Collect more
6. Return to base

Gorge Chaining

For deep runs:

• Hop between gorges
• Never be more than 10 seconds from one
• Use waves as “rest points”

Practice Routine

New to dodging? Practice this:

1. Day 1: Find 3 gorge locations
2. Day 2: Find 5 more gorges
3. Day 3: Practice gorge-to-gorge routes
4. Day 4: Time your runs perfectly
5. Day 5: You’re a pro!
