Brain of Cthulhu
Since the dart traps now have a cooldown of 200 frames (~3.33 seconds), using 1-second timers is no longer ideal. We can easily switch to dummies to ensure that each dart trap in a battery is activated as soon as the cooldown expires (thanks to Unftf for showcasing this approach with Spear Traps). Here's the approach:
The player hits the switch, causing the bird to fly down the track and die to a dart trap at the end. The last pressure plate also sends a dummy ghost into the activation chamber with two hoik teeth that face each other. This causes the dummy ghost to move back and forth over the pressure plate there. The pressure plate is connected by blue wire, and ensures that every trap is activated the moment the cooldown period comes to an end. This in turn ensures that the darts are fired in a continuous stream. To shut off the battery, the switch needs to be pulled again.
30 dart traps are needed to ensure that the hit cap of 6 hits per second is reached (all piercing weapons have that hit cap). However, even just 15 dart traps can be very effective.
The bird statue is not strictly necessary; without any speed boosting gear the player walks at the same speed as the bird, so the player could simply walk over the pressure plates to activate the traps in staggered fashion.
