# Bottleneck recommender

> When one scenario won't improve, train the skill behind it with different scenarios.

Your bottleneck is the scenario holding your level back the most. The usual answer is to grind it until it moves. That works for a while, then it stops.

The bottleneck recommender gives you another route: **scenarios and playlists that train the same skill**, so you build the skill from different angles and then come back to the original scenario.

Open it from the results page with the **Bottleneck recommender** button.

> This feature started with feedback from [AnimaAim](https://www.youtube.com/@AnimaAim): identifying a weakness doesn't necessarily mean that scenario is the best one to improve it.

## Choose the bottleneck

By default Windage picks your worst scenario (**Auto**). You can choose a different one from the list if you want alternatives for another scenario.

Windage identifies the skill the scenario demands. The skills it recognizes are:

| Clicking | Tracking | Switching |
| - | - | - |
| Static Clicking | Precise Tracking | Speed Switching |
| Dynamic Clicking | Reactive Tracking | Evasive Switching |
| Micro Adjustment | Control / Smooth Tracking | Stability Switching |
| Click Timing | | |

It also tells you how far the bottleneck is from your level: **far from your level**, **mid gap** or **close**.

## The three groups of alternatives

| Group | What it is | When it helps |
| - | - | - |
| **Build** | Easier scenarios that train the same skill. | Rebuild the base when the bottleneck is far from your level. |
| **Lateral** | Different scenarios at a similar level, same skill. | A fresh stimulus when you have plateaued. |
| **Bridge** | Scenarios close to your bottleneck, or a bit harder. | The way back to the original scenario. |

Each alternative shows why it was picked: how well it matches the skill, whether it is easier or harder, whether it is a variant of your bottleneck, how many creators use it, and whether it is a benchmark scenario.

## Alternative playlists

Below the scenarios, Windage lists **playlists by coaches and creators**, ranked by how much of the playlist trains the skill you need. The alternatives come from a pool of about 3,200 playlists.

For each playlist you can:

* **Play** it in KovaaK's.
* Copy its share **Code**.
* **Analyze** it in Windage.

## Bottleneck-breaker routine

Windage also builds a ready-made routine for the bottleneck. Its order is:

1. **Warm-up**
2. **Alternatives** (build, lateral, bridge)
3. **Your bottleneck** at the end

You can **Export .json** to play it in KovaaK's, or **Analyze routine** to open it as an analysis. Exporting works the same way as in [Routines](https://docs.windagehq.com/features/routines.md).

## How to use it well

* Use it when a scenario has stopped improving, not for every scenario.
* Train the alternatives for a few sessions, then return to the bottleneck and analyze again.
* If the gap is large, spend more time in **Build** before moving to **Bridge**.
