Not to be confused with Evasion.

Dodge is a layer of defence that provides a chance to prevent a damaging hit.

Mechanics

Whether a character dodges a hit is determined by their chance to dodge, which is capped at 75%. Dodge is rolled randomly each time the character would be hit. On a successful dodge, the character does not take the hit. For this reason, dodge is handled before block and avoidance, both of which provide a chance to mitigate the damage of hits rather than preventing them outright. Dodge is not affected by the enemy's accuracy.

Sources of dodge

The only source of dodge is the Acrobatics keystone, which provides a chance to dodge spell hits by converting spell suppression into spell dodge.

Acrobatics
Modifiers to Chance to Suppress Spell Damage instead apply to Chance to Dodge Spell Hits at 50% of their value
Maximum Chance to Dodge Spell Hits is 75% [1]
