=== Dodge-Dancing === Dodge-dancing is a technique that allows one player to successfully fight and kill a much large force of rats by themselves, often taking little or no damage during the process. The key insight in dodge-dancing is that you cannot be hit while in the dodge state. To dodge-dance, you constantly move yourself so that the rats are to one side of you (to avoid being pinned by the rat horde) while continuously attacking the horde. Whenever you see that rats near your position are about to release an attack, you dodge sideways along the surface of the horde so that your attacks continue to fall on the rats but you avoid the hits the rats were about to land on you. Often, when defending a corner or wide opening for instance, you will dodge in alternating directions to keep yourself more-or-less in one location while slaying the rats. Blocking and pushing can be used during dodge-dancing, but normally only to keep the rats under control (to allow for rats arriving from a new direction, for example) while you continue to attack. To successfully dodge across the surface of the horde, you'll want to turn your body so that you're looking at the center of the horde, and then dodge sideways. If, instead, you simply dodge sideways while looking along the edge of the horde, you will dodge yourself out of range to continue your attacks. Lastly, dodge-dancing relies on keeping part of the horde staggered by your attacks, so you'll normally want to use animation cancelling with any weapons that include single-target attacks in their attack sequences such as the 1h hammer, 1h mace, 1h swords, falchion, etc.
