Dodge gives a percent chance to avoid hits entirely, which is strongest against many weak enemies.
Why this matters
At high Dodge, most attacks miss, making you nearly untouchable.
Step-by-step
- Buy Dodge items (Cloak, Dodge trinkets) on kiting characters.
- Pair Dodge with Move Speed so you keep its value by moving.
- Aim for 30 to 50 Dodge on dodge builds.
- Add a little HP as backup for unavoidable AoE.
- Use ranged weapons so you benefit from not being hit.
What to prioritize
- Dodge items
- Move Speed
- 30 to 50 target
- A little HP
- Ranged weapons
Common mistakes
- Dodge without speed
- No HP backup
- Using Dodge on melee tanks
Dodge is strongest when enemies hit often and hard, because every avoided hit is free. Kiting characters want 30 to 50 dodge plus move speed to keep its value alive. Keep a small HP buffer for area attacks that dodge cannot avoid.
Ranged weapons make dodge builds safe, since you never need to close and trade. The stat falls off on melee tanks that stand in the pack by design, so match the defense to the playstyle.
Dodge without speed loses its value the moment you stop. Kiting characters want 30 to 50 dodge, a small HP buffer, and ranged weapons so they never need to trade.
