The dodge roll mechanic (default key: Space) lets you move quickly and avoid damage. A yellow bar under your HP/MP shows the cooldown.

Basics

Press Space to roll.
Cooldown: 2 seconds (watch the yellow bar).
Invulnerability: You are immune for 0.5 seconds from the start of the roll. During this time you ignore all damage, ground AoEs, targeted skills, and debuffs.

How to Aim Your Roll

You always roll forward from your character’s currently facing direction.
To change the direction of your roll: hold W/A/S/D first, then press Space.
- Or click to face a direction, then press Space.
You cannot turn mid-roll.

Timing

The 0.5 s immunity window is generous, and perfect timing isn’t needed.
Start the roll just before the danger hits (physical attack, projectile, or spell targeting).
You can roll through many hazards as your i-frames during the 0.5 seconds cover the damage or affects applied during that time.

Tips

Pre-hold your movement key, then press Space as this gives precise control.
Don’t spam the roll. Save it for big hits or dangerous ground effects.
After the roll, reposition quickly—your immunity ends fast.
