How to dodge in Lost Ark – Movement Skill explained

Dodge only when necessary.

To dodge is incredibly simple, but it might feel unnatural at first. Lost Ark calls the dodge a Movement skill, but it's easier just to call it dodge. All you have to do is press the space bar, and your character will go into a dodge, or if playing on the controller, press the A button.

Dodging allows you to avoid all oncoming attacks and makes it easier to get out of range in certain situations, such as Area of Attack moves—where the ground is highlighted red in a particular area.

Yet spamming is not something you can constantly use because it will be on a cooldown timer for X amount of seconds after you use it. Meaning you can only dodge again after the cooldown is over. These cooldown timers differ depending on your class. For example, the Assassin class has a six-second cooldown, but the Sharpshooter has a 10-second cooldown.

Because of this cooldown, it's best to use it when needed, as you do not want to be caught off-guard and hit with a powerful attack because you have X amount of cooldown remaining. Think of dodging as a more strategic maneuver used at the opportune moment.

Avoiding the significant enemy damage attacks is way more essential than dodging the pitiful attacks from the minions around the big guy.
