You don't need to touch the tiny dodge buttons to dodge!!!

Hey guys! I know some guys gave this info in other threads, but this seems to be bugging a lot of people so I wanted to have a new thread with this title!

You don't need to push those tiny buttons to dodge left and right...I had the same problem in the beginning!!

...by just pushing your finger on the left or right third of the phone, you can dodge to the side! Do not swipe or move finger, just tap the screen once, otherwise it is registered as a slash! Its quite tricky but once you get the hang of it its fairly easy!

The same goes for blocking, as far as I know (just tap and hold in the middle)
... although I like pausing my finger on the little shield symbol in the middle it works pretty well for me. Hope this helps!

And remember: if you can't dodge a spanner...

Doesnt work for me... sometimes dodge work if i'm close to the button but for block, it wont work at all unless i press the shield icone.

EDIT: ok well.. it does work some times. It look like it takes a split second more to do so tho, like when i dodge an attack against the god king it doesnt make the second dodge in time and i get hit.

Yeah, for blocking the icon method definitely works better... to be honest I don't really dodge that often, I prefer to parry, unless fe. the blow comes straight from the top or to dodge the run of the dark knight (damn I hate it when it looks like he stumbles, and then comes running for you!).

well its the oposite for me, i dodge 95% of the attacks and block the rest. I never parry, it never works for some reason.. like i do the exact hit that would normaly parry but my character hit the enemy instead and i also get hit. So i rather dodge

i keep missing the button and getting hit its annoying

Contrary to what most people seems to feel, I kinda hated that the you can tap anywhere on that portion of the screen to dodge. I sometimes swipe too hard and accidentally activates dodge so my attack gets interrupted. The capacitive touch screen occasionally glitches if you are swiping long and fast.

Oh and parry I think is the hardest thing to master. Every attack move of enemies has different speed so parry timing is very tricky with some enemy. And I think the "parry direction" is a bit bugged as "swipe up" parry sometimes doesn't work, and other times gives wrong parry direction...could still be my fault though.

you can? when i try it the guy just sits there like an idiot and i get hit its annoying

**nicholaelaw** · 12-12-2010, 09:15 AM

I'm playing on iPad if that is relevant. I don't have an iPhone so I can't say about experiences on iPhone.

**paliometoxo** · 12-12-2010, 09:27 AM

ah ok. i think the larger screen would be sweet on the ipad much better then iphone but the graphics are way better on the iphone arent they due to the tiny screen

**nicholaelaw** · 12-12-2010, 10:04 AM

All this fuss about the bad graphic on iPad makes me curious. Can any of you kindly post a pic so I can see how the iPhone does a better job?

On topic, I think if you are hit, then you might not be able to dodge or parry the next attack especially when the enemy is on a sequence. Your best bet is shield button.

in this forum someone already post it... try to search for it

**paliometoxo** · 12-12-2010, 10:25 AM
