How to Dodge

Dodge as the Enemy Attacks

Dodge Controls	Dodge Input
Keyboard	Shift
Mouse	Right Click
Controller	TBD
Mobile	TBD

In Arknights: Endfield, dodge input is configured per device or controller. You can dodge in any direction by holding forward, backward, left, or right while pressing the dodge button. Also, dodging does not reset your normal attack combo, so dodging toward the enemy can be used as an offensive maneuver.

Dodging Consumes Stamina

Dodging consumes Stamina, so be careful because you cannot dodge when your Stamina is depleted. Since successfully performing a Perfect Dodge returns half of the Stamina consumed, you can maintain mobility with lower stamina usage.

Perfect Dodge Timing and Tips

Check for Attack Telegraphs

Enemies emit a red light as a telegraph for incoming attacks. Since Perfect Dodge must be activated at the moment you are about to be hit by an enemy attack, monitor nearby enemies closely and dodge when you see the red light.

Watch Out for the Glowing Red Ground

For enemy AoE attacks, the ground inside the attack range will glow red. The attack lands when the ripple spreading within the red area reaches the edge, so either dodge with precise timing or move out of the red indicator before the attack hits.

Some Boss Attacks Have No Red Cue

Some Boss Attacks Don’t Show a Red Indicator

Some enemies, such as bosses, may use AoE attacks that do not cause the ground to glow red. Therefore, you should observe the enemy's attack patterns closely to predict where the strike will land.

Interrupt Enemy Attacks

Some Skills Can Be Interrupted by Attacking

For charge skills indicated by a red circle on the enemy, use a skill that deals damage while the enemy is charging. This interrupts the enemy’s skill and inflicts high stagger. Instead of dodging every attack, learn to distinguish between attacks that should be dodged and attacks that can be interrupted.
