=== Counter-Flanking a.k.a. Flanking the Flankers === Counter-flanking, or flanking-the-flankers, refers to a particular kind of dodge-dancing, in open terrain, where you will be dodging continuously in one direction along the surface a horde. The slave and clan rat AI is programmed to attempt to surround you. If you are confronted with a large number in an open space, this means that there will be a constant flow of rats attempting to flank you in either direction. To flank-the-flankers, you will dodge away from rats that were about to hit you and greet the rats that were trying to get around to your side with a sweeping attack to their face. By the time they have recovered from being hit, you will have already dodged again down the line of flankers. In order to do this successfully, you must dodge so that you remain in range to damage the horde with your attacks, and you must adjust your flanking trajectory so as to account for obstacles ahead, stray rats, etc. Because what you're doing is managing a constant flow of rats and trying to match that flow with attacks and movement of your own, a successful counter-flanking run can feel very much like a surfer "shooting the curl" of a wave.
