Dodge is an instant skill of the Shadow Officiator (Akhan).

Gives the ability to dodge attacks. Higher levels give faster dodge speed and longer effect. Recharge begins when effect ends.

Effect

Hides the caster for 2 × k seconds: monsters ignore a hidden character. Attacking or using a skill ends it, except Dodge, Camouflage, Dark Sword and chants. It cannot be used while a harmful effect made by a skill is on the caster.

In the formulas, k is the skill's step (1 to 24), g its grade (1 to 4 for I to IV) and L the step within the grade (1 to 6), so k = 6 × (g − 1) + L.

By grade

MP per use is for the first to the last step of the grade. Recharge is at DEX 20; more DEX shortens it.

Grade	MP per use	Range	Area	Recharge	Stats to learn the steps
I	20 to 120	—	—	28 s	DEX 5 to 30 and STR 5 to 30
II	160 to 360	—	—	24 s	DEX 35 to 60 and STR 35 to 60
