Perfect Dodges

gameplay

A combat mod that introduces souls-like/RPG dodge mechanics. Time your dodges perfectly at the moment of impact to completely negate incoming damage with satisfying animations.

Perfect Dodges brings skill-based combat mechanics inspired by souls-like games and action RPGs to Hytale. Master the art of perfect timing to become untouchable in combat.

Core Mechanic

When you dodge at the exact moment you would take damage, you completely negate that damage. This rewards skilled players who learn enemy attack patterns and timing.

  • Head hits trigger a roll animation
  • Body hits trigger a twirl animation
  • Leg hits trigger a flip animation

  • Bind Sprint and Walk to the same button
  • Cannot air dash
