Parrying and following up with a riposte is your bread-and-butter move during combat in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, but did you know you can dodge? You can, and dodging attacks is a good way to get the drop on your foes.





As it is with some gameplay elements, Kingdom Come 2 doesn't do the best job of teaching you how to dodge during combat. In fact, there's a chance you didn't even know it was an option — or you forgot. The dodge move is detailed in the Player menu under the Warfare section in the Combat tab. It's called Evade, and it can be enhanced by spending perkpoints on certain skills. But first, let's learn how to dodge enemy attacks.

How to dodge in Kingdom Come 2

Dodging in Kingdom Come 2 can be done by holding a direction while pressing the button or key for jump.





Based on your platform, a dodge can be performed by pressing:

• The space bar on PC
• The B button on an Xbox controller
• The circle button on a PlayStation controller

Like with the parry, a successful dodge in Kingdom Come 2 is judged by timing the movement when the enemy is about to strike. Holding a direction and pressing dodge when the Perfect Block icon appears (the green shield) will cause you to quickly duck to one side or the other, allowing you to strike a surprised enemy. This is called a Perfect Dodge in the game. It does take some stamina, but it should give you the full view of an enemy's exposed side. They shouldn't be able to parry your strike.





To dodge, wait for the enemy to begin their attack. Hold left or right and press the dodge button or key when the Perfect Block icon appears. Attack the enemy after you move to their side.

There are several perks you can unlock that make your dodge even better in Kingdom Come 2. The first is Nimble Stance in the Agility stat. Nimble Stance is available to purchase with a perkpoint at Agility level 8 and makes it so dodging costs 40% less stamina. Next, pick up Totentanz when you get Agility to level 12. It provides you with a 15% weapon attack bonus when you perform a Perfect Dodge. You should also consider grabbing the River perk in the Warfare skill list in the Combat tab. After completing a dodge or Perfect Dodge, it offers a +3 bonus for the Warfare skill and causes your stamina to replenish 15% faster for 10 seconds.
