Monster Hunter Wilds - How to Dive Evade (Superman Dive)

The Dive Evade, or Superman Dive, is a technique that can dodge monster attacks in Monster Hunter Wilds. Learn how to perform the dive evade and what it can dodge here!

How to Perform a Dive Evade

Sprint and Roll Away From the Monster

PC
Shift (Away from Monster) ► Space Button
PlayStation
PS4 - R1 Button (Away from Monster) ► PS4 - X Button
Xbox
XBOX - Right Bumper (Away from Monster) ► XBOX - A Button

To perform a Dive Evade, you must first sprint away from the monster you are currently fighting. Afterward, you must evade, causing your character too perform a Dive Evade. After landing on the ground, your character must first stand up before they are able to do anything else.

Advantages of Performing a Dive Evade

Can Dodge Even the Strongest Attacks

Dive Evades can dodge even the strongest attacks, making them really strong against monsters that can kill you in one move. Even if the attack hits you mid-air, it will miss you until the complete animation is over.

Invulnerability Window is Very Long

The Dive Evade gives you around three seconds of invulnerability, compared to a normal evade that gives around less then half a second. Thanks to this, you have a huge window of opportunity for when to perform a Dive Evade.

Covers a Big Distance

The Dive Evade also covers a big distance, allowing you to safely move away from a monster's attack range and any follow-up attacks they may make.

Disadvantages of Performing a Dive Evade

Has Long Recovery Animation

The Dive Evade's biggest downside is that the animation to stand up from the ground is long. That means that you are staying in one place as you recover from the dive. Although you are still invincible while standing, you become vulnerable to attacks as soon as you are standing up.

Should the monster decide to use a charge attack or a long range attack, you will get hit by it right after standing up unless you dodge or block just in time.

Cannot Be Used Consecutively

Because of the Dive Evade's long recovery animation, it is not possible to use it consecutively unlike a normal evade roll or sidestep. As such, you must properly time your Dive Evades and avoid spamming it.

You Have to Meet the Right Conditions

To perform a Dive Evade, two conditions must be met. The first is that you must currently be fighting or engaged with a monster. You cannot perform a Dive Evade if you are just exploring or if the monster is not actively fighting you.

The second condition is that you must be sprinting away from the monster you are currently fighting. If you are sprinting toward the monster, you will not be able to perform a Dive Evade.
