— Description

Dodge is an Ability Skill Card available in Dead Island 2 for the Defense Skill slot. It is unlocked at level 9.

Dodge allows the player to evade attacks by quickly dashing to the desired direction. This is extremely useful in avoiding damage from zombies as well as environmental hazards. It can also be used to close the distance between zombies such as the Screamer and get behind them.

Well timed dodges will restore stamina and stun regular zombies. This then allows them to be countered with a finishing attack which will normally kill most regularly zombies instantly.
