I'm very new to speedrunning and from my knowledge of it doesnt low% mean the most minimum completion? i dont really understand what differentiates the low% noita runs from say the teleportless run (other than the bolt rule) and i was hoping someone could explain that to me since to me it feels like it would make more sense if it was more having the run with the least number of gold, places visited and enemies slain.

Tbh I don't know why this category was named Low% as well. Given that Noita has progression like perks, enemies, and spells, low% could be formally clearing the game without unlocking any of these things. In any case, these title is so strange and constantly cause confusion. If mods plan to change the name, I'll support it

LDC-%? :)) No clue what else it would be. Though just a Tele bolt run is also allowed, the LDC makes it fast. The category is fun because it validates runs that don't have the luck of finding black holes for teleportless, or a teleport spell/perk for any-%.
