===== Learning =====
This is pure movement heavy category that is most notably popular in HoH. This category focuses around usage of Holy Waters and such. It may be a very good start point for improving at general Major Skips with [[dmc4:nero_dante|Nero/Dante]] before getting involved with other categories.
It's advised to make note of Holy Water usage per room, when to restock and such.
