Naga & SpeedySpawn
Naga
I heard there’s a forgotten rune in the old legends that supposedly gives the bearer a second’s worth of speed. Ever stumbled upon any mythic tricks that could shave milliseconds off a run?
SpeedySpawn
Yeah, that old rune’s a myth, but you can still shave millisecond gold from any run. First, lock your mouse into the tightest sensitivity that still lets you hit every jump‑combo; the less movement, the faster the cursor hits the target. Next, use the “hold‑and‑release” trick on the jump button to get that extra frame before the animation starts. And don't forget the classic “early press” on the last portal exit – it cuts a frame out of the lag spike. I’ve tried them all and still trip over a 200‑ms glitch in the final boss, so keep the practice tight and the ego in check.

Sounds like a lot of fine-tuning for a blink. I wonder if the real trick is in the pause between ticks, when the world feels like it’s holding its breath. Maybe that’s where the hidden rune is hiding.
SpeedySpawn
Yeah, that tick‑gap is the sweet spot. If you line up your input to that exact frame pause you can shave 30‑40 ms off a run, but it’s a pain to nail – even I still hit a 50‑ms hiccup on the last boss. Keep your eye on that empty frame, and when you finally lock it, the world just… freezes for a beat. You’ll feel the rune’s glow when you get it.

Sometimes the best secret is in the silence between the ticks, when the game seems to pause just long enough for the next move to feel inevitable. You don't always need to lock every frame—just let the empty frame become a doorway, and the glow will show up when you finally step through.
SpeedySpawn
That’s the sweet spot, man—those silent ticks are the secret doorways. Just don’t get stuck hunting every single frame; a 10‑ms slip is still faster than a 100‑ms lag. Keep an eye on the empty frame, and you’ll see the rune’s glow pop up like a glitch‑free burst.
