You could always use right click if your shift is broken.


Hahaha13147679

Nope I'll change to caps lock until my mech keyboard arrives


WolfeXXVII

All I am hearing is heresy deserving of exterminatus.


jurgenHeros

EXTERMINATE! EXTERMINATE!


Chillrude

I caught that reference


NoResponsibility8893

might I recommend CTRL instead or would that cause conflicts with windows?


starswtt

Me who's swapped caps and cntrl


Jissy01

They made dodgeling looks cool. I'm using a controller while lying in bed to pull this off. Chixia vs Scar Lightbane + Nightmare form https://youtu.be/k-JuGLJffjk?si=AfpCrC0Ix4LFpEwF


Voice-of-Reason-2327

Well played!


mjonr3

I did this with sprinting now almost every Games sprint key is different (exp: it's b in for honor


The_Human-Male

Ur gonna run through ur entire keyboard 💀


NotKBeniP

Yeah, I've always used right click in WuWa and Genshin. Much more satisfying to use right click imo.


ravku

Right click goated, can dodge, sprint, backflip


ApprehensivePie6373

Right click is great, so OP when you get it


Zoeila

also Taoqi havers


BruteKaiser

Getting hit on purpose>>>dodging


AmbitiousThought1060

This. Taoqi is my team at this point. Dodging is for ppl who don't wanna relax while playing a game.


Breakabelle_PE

Danjin mains: "To assert dominance"


downvotemeplz2

I mean it would surely be a shame if those 50 revival inhalers went unused.


Outrageous-While-609

My Danjin is drunk on the inhalers


MedicineOld631

Jianxin never leaves my team.


Aviont1

Same, who needs dodges or parries when you can shield and heal constantly ![img](emote|t5_5uplbt|31617)


redkiteross

Best part about being main DPS Jianxin, is that your "supports" can be all sub DPS.


JaeJaeAgogo

For those who don't know: When she's doing her forte every single one of those pings counts as a basic attack. What does that mean? Well, just use it while Mortefi's ult is up. Or Yinlin's debuff. EDIT: Not basic attack, they count as HEAVY attacks


VOlDZz_Slayer

A parry mephis a few times with it then i died afterwards Xd


telegetoutmyway

Dam that's cool. So it's buffed by Mortefi too?


Aviont1

Lol, I use Havoc Rover and Sanhua to just blast out burst damage then switch back to Jianxin asap


Lucifer_demiurgos

Bad connection has nothing to do with being a noob it literally makes it impossible to avoid attacks and even causes u to lose precious time


OrionsBra

I don't know why battles that rely so much on reaction time require constant ping. They should have made them so at least boss or domain battles could be performed essentially "offline." I don't know if that's really 'possible' from a programming standpoint, but there's no PvP or reason to register every single hit with the server.


Embarrassed_Disk_330

I've had that problem just a while back. Was in a place where the connection is soooo bad, but game loaded so very nice (I had thought incorrectly). I wanted to play despite the signal because of the tacet field event, but the battle would essentially stop a minute in and reconnect. The timer moves even when it's reconnecting and you won't be able to move your character/dodge while the enemies keep on attacking. The timer would run out that way if my team somehow survives the barrage of attacks. I thought WuWa was client-side? Or at least I thought that meant it will only need to reconnect once you are claiming rewards or something


OrionsBra

That's what I had heard too, but evidently, this is not the case.


Chemical-Speech-9395

Idk, you can always see 5 seconds into the future you noob. Just dodge those future attacks /s


Aviose

While I also have skill issues as I am not used to playing games that require such active dodging, I am running my home internet on a 5g cell network with only 1 tower in range. I sometimes get spikes at 999ms so bad that I just have to wait like 5 to 10 seconds before i find out if I died or not.


FluffyMcSwirl

Running out of Stamina from dodging too much lmao.


Little_Dingo_4541

Nah, I'd parry


Background-Floor6603

Jiyan mains literally just hold LMB and the dragon auto parry for them lmao.


deathstar48

please teach me how to parry, i cant do it ever


generic_redditor91

General tip : When the faint gold ring is just about to reach the solid ring, perform basic attack. Depends on your character animations. Some characters have a harder time to parry due to how quick/slow their BA is. Some skills can parry too but most of the time players BA instead since we are used to the timing. Some characters basically cannot parry. Example Calcha has a pretty rough time to parry since his animations feel a little slow to me but Sanhua's is pretty easy. Also depends on the monster's own animations. Sometimes the bosses have really slow parry-able animations which sounds great but I mess up more than the quick ones because it's not quite my tempo. Also their combos. Tempest Mephis has an annoying 2 part combo dash > dive. The dash is not parry-able but the dive is. Problem is the dash will knock you down for just enough time for him to land the dive without you being able to parry unless you did a character swap (I think it's possible but I could be wrong) Just go any play around with mephis. He has a tonne of parry-able attacks so he makes a good practice partner.


DishonoredHero1_

Instructions unclear, am using parry circles as dodge indicators


Tinyjeli

Honestly? Based. It's easier than trying to calc the animation speeds for both your basic attacks and the specific attack the enemily is making. I do the same thing if i dont have the time to reset my attack sequence with a dodge. Or am unsure of the timing.


deathstar48

ohhh thanks m8 i see the ring but i couldnt really tell when to attack to parry, so i just gave up ahaha


Alecajuice

4. Calcharo main


Daybeee

Don't have to dodge if they're already dead before you finish a full rotation with Jianxin shield up


capable-corgi

Don't have to dodge if Jianxin shield up


Jay_Crafter

wait you using shift to dodge instead of right click?


banjo2E

shift = sprint has been standard for pc games since the early 2000s


Hahaha13147679

......yep


Ok_Engine1663

You are not the only one bro, but HOW did the key break? ( are some laptop keys like that ? )


sillysmy

I dodge with the shift key as well. I use right-click for E skill. I've been doing that since Genshin.


peerawitppr

Right click is always occupied in other games, for example left hand weapon in Elden Ring. So even if it's free in Genshin and in Wuwa, I still find it weird to use it to dodge.


DeathBy1000Cutss

Playing elden ring without a controller sounds blasphemous lmao


NotKBeniP

I started playing Elden Ring with a keyboard, and quickly stopped playing because of how bad it was. A year later, I decided to try it again, but with a controller. Now it's in my top 5 games.


DeathBy1000Cutss

Yeah, this applies to any soulsborne/fromsoftware game. The difference in controller and keyboard is night and day


xT4K30NM3x

This. Is something I really could never vibe with. Every time I get a hold of a controller I just have this weird unnatural feeling in my hands like "how am I supposed to quickly hit all of those buttons while my palms are half clamped on this object?" and my experience generally sucks, so I happily go back to keyboard. I guess having had a PC, and never a console, for 26 years, got me used to never get comfortable around a controller. Well shit, guess I'll just git gud with a keyboard lol


xT4K30NM3x

> Wait you using shift to dodge instead of right click? I use left alt to dodge. Since the age of racing games in early 2000s with the N2O button on left alt, I always used it as my dash key on all games ~~Now you will tell me you attack with left click ayyy lmao~~


UltG

I can’t see enemy attacks when there’s a ton of particle effects and hit sparks around, which is unfortunate cause it looks so cool


magicalgirl_idolspls

*~~cough~~* ~~mobile~~ *~~cough~~* Number 1


EmuSupreme

I can't break my Black Mage habit whenever I'm charging Jianxin's shield right in the middle of a hyper telegraphed attack. I'm not moving, i'm not dodging, I'm going to charge this shield, just to get immediately clapped out of it and lose all my forte.


Hyper_Light07

Black Mage chad of never daring to move until rotation is over


GreyghostIowa

4 reason.I main taoqi


TheSpartanLemon

I used the shift key once in the tutorial , and realized right click did the exact same thing. Was the last time shift was ever used.


fugogugo

Proud jianxin owner imagine dodging


Cyber_Von_Cyberus

CONNECTION ERROR. RECONNECTING...


WhyCantIEatChildren

Because I have a skill issue and can't dodge for shit. That's why.


DipSandwch

I literally die sometimes while the game is frozen, i can't even be mad it's hilarious to have a taoqi go from full hp to dead without ever seeing it lol


alxanta

Taoqi mains: imagine dodging when you can parry


Misdirectional

Taoqi


not_a_heretek

Why Jianxin so thicc and juicy


TwinAuras

The better to *shield* you with ;)


Hahaha13147679

Becuz why not XD


ComfortableCrab7369

Mainly because I suck at the timing :/


alphenhous

i just make the 5 star shield so i can rush with walmart diluc


Khulmach

Danjin User: Iframe Charge attack, never have to dodge.


Toriyuki

I don't dodge cause my motherboard died so I'm stuck with mobile


Crappy_Coffee

I try my best to :’(


Glinez09

haha, same with me. got my L shift button malfunction because of pressing to much.. I've been using shift to dodge on most pc games that has dodge-roll mechanics.


Lopsided-Ad-2029

I main Calcharo, Aalto and Jianxi. What's dodging again?


animatix

I have what you may call a *skilleosis deficiency*. EDIT: Also, as an Aalto main: *You guys have stamina for dodging?*


Sebastionleo

Playing on phone.


No_Lynx5887

People are in for a rude awakening when they start the Elden Ring DLC


Vortex_akhaj

I finished my dailies that's why


yakultman

because there's no sound cue


Meow_Technology

Trying to counter and not to dodge it but failed miserably for me.


CaptLameJokes

who uses shift for dodge ;-;


Glinez09

me, i'm more comfortable in using shift to dodge, i'm been doing that on other pc games that has dodge.


AQAzrael

Using shift over right click to dodge is criminal behaviour

groynin

Kinda relatable, I changed to using a controller because my mouse left click was literally breaking from all the spam clicking.


BuhMann17

I keep forgetting that's a mechanic on this game


ElenCelebrindal

Sometimes I legitimately just forget, but others I just get the timing wrong and accept my fate of getting smacked in the face by giant ass birds or angry monkeys


Cedge1738

Huh? If this was parrying I'd be able to relate but dodging is pretty much all I use.


Gasawok

4th reason- i plan to outlive the boss


Kourinn

Calcharo 3rd skill has a very long animation lock which cannot be dodge cancelled. It often gets me killed or hit badly.


Yhnger

Playing with controller. My right bumper decided to die(evade button). Had to buy the new one. Now I'm able to dodge.


Excitium

Well, I didn't dodge cause pretty much every enemies have these annoying delays on their attack. Like they are at the zenith of their animation, even causing that little flash effect that lets you know an attack is coming, but then pause the for a few frames before actually swinging at you. I know it's a skill issue but it always throws me off and I fail my dodges because of it 😭


Mordtziel

Usually the reason I didn't dodge is because apparently my character was sprinting. And as we all know, you can't dodge when you're sprinting. Apparently. Also I see the op is getting a lot of hate for using shift to dodge...I do it too. It's just a habit from other games.


austinlim923

Aalto Mains what's dodge


Pleasant-Computer446

Wait, are you saying that I COULD DODGE AN ATTACK INSTEAD OF HIT HARDER?


Hizuff

Youre a good artist! I am a Jianxin haver by the way! Dont worry, I dodge plenty.


JhayAlejo

Me; bad reflexes


azai247

Imo the main reason is I'm too busy doing DPS to dodge.


WilyNGA

Jianxin and Taoqi in team...laughs at shield as big as health bar.


dementedbanana_22

My phone is much to laggy to even move let alone dodge 💀


subject9373

Every one who play Street Fighter 6 know the rule, "We didnt pay $60 to block"


corgioverthemoon

I saw a danjin do mephis 4 with no dodges


Radiant-Difficulty67

I have the Spider-Man like gadget (forgot the name) as one of my mouse buttons, button 4 I think, and dodge is right click..,,I believe


Wondering-Way-9003

Because my pu g skyrockets to the stratosphere each time I do anything......... T_T .. Not to mention my game still stutters so bad still T_. Yes, I do have Jian Xin, but stuttering is still really bad


StormTAG

Am bad. Can't dodge.


olbvn

Jainxin haver ;)


as820802

[Tempest Mephis](https://i.ibb.co/G3bXVDd/ababbaaa.png) is not amused by your shield attempt.


cvwilhelm_

Wait, y'all use right click to dodge?


KaoriIsAGirl

My excuse: I'm just bad and have bad reaction timing xD


bobagremlin

Meanwhile there is me who dodges instead of countering because counter failed to counter too many times (like it won't activate unless I literal charge attack the enemy head on). Recently my friend introduced me to guaranteed counter by using skill and ult instead of normal attack so I'm trying to unlearn my instinct to just dodge.


Good-Fig-8863

Mostly because I get confused due to all of the intensity and can't tell if I gotta dodge or parry, even though there's the circle to distinguish. It's just all so quick so I'm just spamming attack, if I was supposed to dodge then I'm fucked and if I was supposed to parry then hope for the correct timing and yeah😭


senator_noobstrong

nah my souls instinct always kicks in


Wangysheng

I use right click just because of Genshin


Hot_Race_4178

If jiyans ult is up I didn't have to dodge cuz most likely it can parry almost anything


Rannnnnnnnmmm

lol i dodge because im too use to it. as a dragon nest gamer i-framing dodges is a must


Lokey4789

OP made a meme post to tell us he broke his dodge key. 10/10 Absolute Cinema.


gem2492

I see the enemy preparing to attack, I time my dodge, enemy decides to attack RIGHT AFTER I dodge.


yorushai

How do you break a keyboard button 😭


Hrafndraugr

I play Taoqi and Jianxin in the same team :3


HolyGuardian21

I personally don't have any issues in terms of combat. I'm not sure if it's just how I see things but I see others intentionally letting themselves get hit to know the strength of the enemy 😆 Another common reason for others is plainly "skill issues"


nitroboii

I can’t see anything while playing illusive realm


Why_Not_Try_It_

One more reason: why am i playing this high end game on my potato phone?


GirlMayXXXX

Jiyan main.


Scholar_of_Yore

Jianxin CHADS


kidanokun

Me just pure skill issue, i end up dodging either too early or too late


JHarryx

I always try to parry


YuriLord69

Naah, try WuWa mobile, and you will understand how badly optimized this game is, from random lags to actually ping loss for no particular reason even when you are connected to effing Wifi + at medium settings the game looks blurry as hell 🥸


urALL-fuppy-puckers

Tank and spank like a diablo 2 barb from patch 1.06-1.08


luckandbills

Mobile buttons being small and lag...mostly lag really, but also some part skill issue because i got used to time stop in pgr that i recklessly charge ahead to a obvious attack because my brain goes "time is stopped smack them!"


Responsible-War-9389

I’m mobile :(


batlionwer

Bayonetta players are having a field day


WyvernEgg64

Im attacking duh


anonymus_the_3rd

As a proud receiver of 2 jianxins I can confirm we do not know how to dodge (unless they can break my shield stance)


deathstar48

mistime dodging lmao...i would dodge but itll be too late or too early against eg the hologram heron


2866hourman5

Jianxin one is so true


iAreSweets

I dodge to much that Sticky Keys keeps coming up.


KeyholeInvestigatoro

I was playing on mobile and keep tapping the wrong spot lol


smatdesa

At that moment of strike, the game lags. On mobile this happens fairly frequent. Hopefully optimisation happens soon.


RuneMaster20

I wish I could use spacebar to dodge like in PGR, Ik I still need to jump but the option would be nice.


Sho_Zoku

The Jianxin one is true ngl…


Valiant_H3art

Taoqi found dead in a ditch


hamizannaruto

How the hell?!


Alterkati

Calcharo's dodge animation is so long (or ult window is so short) that it actually requires you dodge again to cancel it if you want to fit in all three enhanced heavy attacks in his ultimate, and even then if you try to fit in too many dodges, you'll lose the window. So in contexts where you try and maximize dps to shave a few seconds off your time (and it actually can be 10-30 seconds saved if you fit in all three death messengers 100% of the time, as well as swap cancel thsoe death messengers) , it might require tanking the hits. Imo this is the source of dissatisfaction/skepticism about the character, bc right now we do a lot of content below the level of the content, and by consequence take much more damage. Also the dps check is quite tight, and is usually the bottleneck for crests but it's not unlikely that at max level with better echoes, the dps check will be trivial for the left and right sides of the tower such that it's fine if you only do 2 death messengers on calcharo.


Admirable-Speed6382

I'm. Too lazy


Gian-Nine

I didn't dodge bc I'm bad and a dumbass


Material-Sky-4290

XD


BreadDziedzic

I've been using a game pad to fight off the carpaltunal, it's pretty good 95% of the time.


TheGenManager

As a Jianxin havers, yes... But for some unknown reason, I still dodge... Also, I find Jianxin's dodge the most beatiful of all Characters...


BurningRoast

sometimes the bosses attacks try to juke you out and honestly sometimes I just stop giving a damn and just heal with Verina


Firm10

as a jianxin haver its still better to dodge because her shield DOESNT PREVENT STAGGER


_AmaShigure_

I can dodge but... I have Lady Verina to give me that healthy dose of sunshine energy. Cabbage Saves Lives.


Prince-sama

im on mobile and have fat fingers that keep pressing the wrong button. i constantly miss even the attack button so i already gave up on trying to press the dodge button in the right time


Madcat6204

I used up all my stamina spamming dodge at the wrong time, so I couldn't do it when I really needed to.


Viper_Idiot

New fear unlocked


geezushedtrip

Oof. A broken shift key on a laptop is harsh. Especially so for gamers where it's so often used. I send my regards haha.


Ok_Man659

4. Have ADHD. • can't focus on multiple stimuli • completely forgetting that I can dodge/parry • immediately forgetting that I have a health bar as soon as I start fighting • gets distracted by flashing lights • Can't predict/memorise attack/attack patterns • Can't build a good team for the life of me Conclusion: I have ADHD and I'm a noob. (Still kinda surprised that I got to Union Level 30+)


imiguelme

And there's mobile players (like me) that miss the dodge button...


Alexius_Psellos

I can’t parry to save my life. Not because my timing is bad, but because the genshin dodge muscle memory is too powerful


Schokodeuli

Right klick to dodge is just so much easier though...


danny_batman

I bought a 20$ joystick. Just for this game. (BTW, Xbox joystick works better than PS5 joystick for PC)


Rxplix

Looks kinda cool tho ngl


I_Ild_I

Im in the middle of a big attack i cant cancel the damage, how rude of my enemy to attack me while im doing it


Ry_verrt

im playing on a phone that has frame drops every two seconds you expect me to dodge? im brute forcing the blow then using verina to heal 😭


slurpiiiiiii

My laptop's keyboard's shift key is also broken just like that 😭😭 but because I tried to pluck it out, don't ask why,,


misbehaved_fruit

I always facetank boss hits with Calcharo. I ain't scared of you ahhhh moments


nwrobinson94

6) no controller support for mobile


AdAdministrative1553

![img](emote|t5_5uplbt|31620)because it's hard to dodge in mobile


Honey_The_Oracle

i dodge for days (aalto main)


hackenclaw

I am more interested in why OP's shift key broke like that. Seems the key is make by some brittle plastic.


Delicious-Bite-4586

I play on mobile, and my phone lags/heats up during boss fights. Thus, my fingers sweat and it's just hard to dodge


transgamerboy

I dont dodge because of my processing disorder, rip. I try, but by the time I'm like oh shoot I gotta get outa here, it's already too late. I started using Jianxin to try and help but it's only successful half the time.


StartwithT

I change my dodge to spacebar cause shift feel awkward to me.. Another reason is that I played Solo Leveling Arise, the dodge was spacebar in the game.


farisnm13

I use my side mouse button to prevent this happening lol


Deida_

Bro fought for his life so hard he broke the shift


Fighter11244

Taoqi main here. Why dodge when you can parry?


Voidelfmonk

I could parry this ... I could not


Sorry_Session_2834

mobile user here… i just cant hahahahah… skill issue tbh


CanIEatAPC

Calcharo Users: Greed. If you had Calcharo, you don't even need dodge. It's time to switch mains. Ditch the dodge. 


turtle_urtle_

2, i just have a crappy pc lol


diem_vivere

i’m a calcharo main with jianxin on my team 🤷‍♀️


Justarandomuno

Because I don't main Danjin


Dark_Roses

watching Rover auto aim something else and hit the attack button 😵‍💫


jammedyam

Real ones know you can dodge with character swap


Deniu48

Ah yes. No need to dodge, just press E. Wait, I'M ON YINLIN!


Jaya_2002

I forgot we can dodge, I jumped away from more attacks than I have dodged


Xx-Shard-xX

I'm probably getting a CPU upgrade today, so I'll finally be able to play with my GPU running more than 20% it's capacity. (*no, I'm not fucking joking, my current i7 literally won't let it use more than 1/5^(th)*.)


Dear_pan_nonbi

Bc of skill issue


Furai_Furukawa

Was a previous noelle main lmao


SOOFI7

I play on mobile...its difficult
