There are 22 Dashes (Races) in Mirror’s Edge Catalyst. Getting 3 stars in every Dash unlocks the “Peak Performer” trophy / achievement.
To get a 3 star rating you must complete the course very quickly. They are all time-based. The quicker you are, the more stars you get (3 stars being the highest rating).
They are freerunning exercises in which you must reach a certain target area. None of them have enemies. You unlock more dashes by playing through the story.
Tips:
– Beat the story first and unlock all movement upgrades and magrope skills.
– Always start with a shift to gain speed.
– You must use shortcuts (follow the routes from the video. Following the red arrows will almost never get you 3 stars. If you know the exact target area (e.g. by beating the dash once) you can also mark it on your map, then it will show you the quickest way there (shortcut).
– Use skill roll on big drops only. Use coil to jump over small objects without touching them (should be used wherever possible, practice this move a lot).
– Running, Shifting and Jumping all have the same speed. You can’t save time by shifting all the time, it won’t make you go faster. Running is the fastest way to move around.
– When you fall off a rooftop you should restart the dash right away.
