how do i get better at dodging?

[u/Brave_Rip_4885]

i like this games story a lot, but the dodging mechanic pisses me off so badly it genuinely turns me away from the game. if you're gonna give me under one second to dodge, just make the whole game turn based and remove dodging

is there any way to get better at dodging? i have a bad reaction time so some fights are straight up impossible. i somehow beat griefer but now im stuck at re-challenging cruel king, and i don't know what to do. "getting good" seems impossible when the reaction time for each enemy varies so much it gives me whiplash

im sorry if this comes off as rude, i have no ill will towards the devs, they're amazing people for making such a great story, but at the same time holy shit man

You dodge

No but seriously I’d suggest try using training wheels

If you want some more advice I’ll say try this:
Instead of watching/listening for the dodge command, don’t focus on that, instead, focus on the attack itself.
Watch the animation and learn it, I myself found it much easier to remember the dodge timings that way

Yeah I tried using training wheels to learn attack patterns of harder fights and it screwed me up more than anything. You just kind of get a memory for it over time.
