Based on what the tutorial says (or shows) dodging is the same as perfect blocking as far as timing, but it never seems to work. While training against Bernard as he would attack in rapid succession I would notice my character would occasionally jump out of the way as I moved backwards away from him. After this I decided to mess around trying to dodge and purposely pulled it off 3 or 4 times. However, it eventually stopped seeming possible to do and now I can’t seem to do it anymore. So how does dodging work? It seems simple enough in the tutorial but outside of that it is very difficult to do.
While I find this game great it is lacking as far as documentation in some areas. The only time it seems clinches are mentioned is in a couple of perks. How do they work and how do I win them?
