Dodge

Dodge is a gameplay mechanic in Arknights.

Overview

As the name suggests, Dodge allows the bearer to evade an attack directed at them, completely nullifying it in the process. However, dodging attacks does not prevent the bearer from being affected by anything triggered by hitting the target, such as Negative Statuses from certain attacks and Elemental Damages; Operators with defensive SP recovery for their skills will still generate SP if the attack that would hit them is dodged. In addition, if the attack that would deal "critical" damage (the damage is shown in red) is dodged, the word "MISS" in orange will be shown instead; Flametail's Sport For All outfit is the only known case to change this word's font.

Multiple instances of Dodge stack multiplicatively with each other and as such, can never reach a full 100% as explained in detail here.

Currently all sources of Dodge only work against Physical and/or Arts attacks; there are no known ways to dodge attacks that deal True damage.
