Evade

Evasion allows characters to avoid being struck by some attacks. It is only accessible through certain skills.

Whenever a player's attack is evaded, he or she will briefly see yellow indicator text: "evade".

Other ways of avoiding attacks include blocking skills as well as manually dodging (moving a character with the mouse or keyboard) projectiles.
