Description

Lower your body and move quickly to evade arrows or bolt attacks coming from afar. It works best if you evade at the exact moment the enemy makes the attack. Using this skill consecutively will cause you to lose your balance. You will be able to use Evasion again once you've regained your composure.

Details

• Allows one to roll forward, providing a chance to dodge Icebolt, Firebolt, Lightning Bolt, Water Cannon, Sand Burst, Wind Blast and all Archery Skills except for the fragmented hit from Crash Shot, Spirit Bow Awakening, and Gold Strike. Evasion success rate is based on this skill's rank.
  • Successful evasions appear as if the attack landed, but no flinching or damage occurs.
  • Successful evasions will not cancel the skill, allowing multiple attacks to be evaded.
• Higher ranks allow consecutive evasions before the skill is placed into cooldown.
  • The skill icon will blink for the normal cooldown duration when the there is one evasion remaining before cooldown. If the second/third evade is used in this time period, then the skill will enter cooldown.
  • Total cooldown is equal to the remaining cooldown(s) of the first/second/third evades plus the normal cooldown time.
• At Rank 9, the user is free to move after the rolling animation. However, this cancels the skill early.
• Evasion becomes less efficient later in the animation.
• Currently capped at rank 6.
• Crisis Escape may be randomly learned by using this skill.

Training Method

Tips

• Enter any Beginner Shadow Mission or Ciar Dungeon/Barri Dungeon where you can find weak archers; defeat all monsters except for one Archer and train Evasion on it. Try to get an Archer against a wall, this makes it easier to guess when they will fire. You may need to bring HP and/or Stamina Potions as this skill requires large amounts of Stamina.
  • Goblin Archers may fire a shot and then attempt to follow it up with another shot. Therefore, you may want to bring a Shield to use Defense for this. Goblin Archers will fire normal Ranged Attacks after roughly one second of aiming. Magnum Shot will usually be fired after two seconds (when the bow starts to shake). Load Defense after using Evasion, as the skill has a long cooldown.
  • Saga episode 7's Tense Escape mission spawns groups of Elf Guards which do low damage and only use normal ranged attacks. Walking past a group without spawning the next group will cause them to chase the player, then aim and fire simultaneously which allows multiple training counts for a single use of Evasion.
• For training on Evasion magic based attacks, enter Ceo Island or Coill Dungeon with an elemental-based armor set and look for a room with Sprites of the corresponding element. Damage done by them should be reduced to one, allowing you to train Evasion painlessly. Elemental-based equipment loses durability faster than non-elemental equipment, so keeping items blessed is recommended to double the amount of attempts you will need to dodge their attacks.
• An alternative method to both methods above is to Commerce (preferably with cheap, low cost items), trigger a Bandit Ambush, eliminate all but the Rookie Bandit Goblin Archer or Rookie Bandit Imp, and train Evasion on them. After they despawn, search for another Bandit Ambush.
• Hobgoblin Bowmen and Hobgoblin Exorcists in Lappa also serve as easily accessible ranged and magic-based field enemies, respectively.
• If you are unable to obtain an elemental set, or if you do not want to lose Durability, you may want to train Evasion with no equipment. Use of Mana Shield and Transformations is advised. A shield may also help.
• The use of Rock Throwing or Taunt can help pull aggro without damaging the monster.
