Use burrowing in first-run routing
First-run route order, upgrade priorities, and spoiler-light habits.
Spoiler-light guide
Burrowing is a core identity of Mina the Hollower. It is movement, defense, exploration, and route-reading all at once.
Quick Answer: Use burrowing to reposition, dodge, test suspicious terrain, and reset bad spacing. Do not treat it as only a panic button.
Spoiler-Light Hint: When a room feels unfair, look for a burrow timing or path that changes the angle of the fight.
| Use | What it solves | Practice note |
|---|---|---|
| Dodge | Avoids unsafe contact or projectile timing | Practice without attacking for one room. |
| Reposition | Escapes bad weapon spacing | Pair with lower-commitment attacks. |
| Explore | Checks suspicious walls, soil, and room edges | Mark secrets as unverified until repeated. |
| Route reset | Turns a bad approach into a safer angle | Use before healing or sidearm spending. |
