Where the data comes from
Windage reads your scores from the KovaaK’s leaderboards, using your linked KovaaK’s account. For each scenario in the playlist it gets your best score and your position among everyone who has played it. That position gives your percentile: the share of players you score above on that scenario. A percentile is comparable across scenarios, while raw scores are not. 900 points can be excellent on one scenario and poor on another.What the model does
A list of percentiles tells you where you stand. It does not tell you what to train first. Windage uses a machine learning ranking model, LambdaRank, trained on real scores from the KovaaK’s community across hundreds of scenarios. For your playlist, the model takes your results on every scenario and orders them by priority: how much working on each one should help your overall level. The output is the R column on the results page. 1 is the scenario to train first.Why priority is not the same as lowest percentile
Sorting by percentile would always send you to your lowest number. The model looks at each scenario in the context of the rest of your profile. A scenario far below what the rest of your scores suggest gets a higher priority than one that is low for everybody at your level.Tiers
Tiers summarize the ranking in five bands of your own performance in the playlist: Critical, High, Medium, Low and Strength, each covering 20%. Tiers are relative to you. A top player and a beginner both have Critical scenarios, because both have a weakest 20%. Two special tiers:- No data: you haven’t played the scenario, so there is nothing to rank.
- Low sample: the scenario has fewer than 30 plays worldwide. Percentiles on such small leaderboards move a lot, so treat the ranking with caution.
From ranking to routine
A routine converts priority into runs. Higher-priority scenarios receive more runs, and the aggressiveness curve controls how steep that difference is.Snapshots and progress
Each analysis is stored as a snapshot: your scores, percentiles and ranks at that moment. Comparing snapshots of the same playlist is how Windage draws rank history and measures climbs on the leaderboards.Limits to keep in mind
- Only leaderboard scores count. Windage sees your best score per scenario on the KovaaK’s leaderboards.
- The model ranks inside one playlist. Priorities from two different playlists are not directly comparable. To look across playlists, use Compare.
- A ranking is a recommendation. It tells you where training time is likely to pay off most. It does not replace judgment about what you enjoy or what your game needs.
