How to Dodge

Dodging is an easy feat to do in Scarlet Nexus. Enemy attacks are telegraphed quite well, leaving you enough time to move away before an attack lands.

Being able to keep out of harm's way contributes to shorter fights and the use of less items and other resources that you might need for some of the game's tougher opponents.

You Can't Dodge Under Certain Status Ailments

Certain Status Ailments such as Oil or Soaked will make the use of the dash button unavailable, and thus making Dodges and Perfect Dodges impossible in cases where it is needed.

For a list of all Status Ailments, check out our List of Status Ailments below!

How to Perfect Dodge

Time Your Dodges

While simply dodging is an easy endeavor to do, Perfect Dodges on the other hand are quite difficult to pull off. The only assurance you have of being able to do so is by carefully watching out for when an enemy attack is about to land on you and not when it is just about to strike.

As the attack nearly completes, simply dash away to safety. If done right, this will trigger the Perfect Dodge, indicated by a glow that surrounds your chosen character.

Use Clairvoyance

At SAS Level 3, you can execute Perfect Dodges easier by using Tsugumi's SAS Ability, Clairvoyance. You can also trigger powerful "Read Attacks" immediately after executing a Perfect Dodge, which allows you to deal massive damage against enemies.
