Can You Escape Grab Attacks?

You Cannot Escape Grab Attacks

You cannot escape any Grab Attacks once they connect with your character, forcing you to watch a long animation where Hinako struggles to escape only to be hurt anyway.

These grabs can be fairly dangerous as they are sudden, can significantly decrease your health or even outright kill you without any counter or escape sequence whatsoever.

Combat Guide and Tips

How to Avoid Grabs

Avoid Grabs by Perfect Dodging

Perfect Dodge
Avoid Grab Attacks before they connect by doing a Perfect Dodge. You will know that you have perfectly dodged an attack when your screen blurs and you suddenly see your stamina bar refilled, avoiding damage completely.

How to Perfect Dodge

Avoid Grabs by Reducing Enemy Contact

Run
You can also avoid most enemy grabs by simply running away and escaping enemies as much as you can. The game allows you to evade enemies altogether (except for forced fighting sequences), preventing prolonged fights and sudden enemy grabs.
