Dodge Roll, as its name implies, was a short leap forward used to dodge attacks. In ''Kingdom Hearts'', ''Kingdom Hearts Re:Chain of Memories'' and ''Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix'' it was triggered by pressing {{button|s}}. In ''Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories'' tapping a direction in the control pad twice triggered it during battle.

'''Dodge Roll''' is a technique introduced in ''{{c|Kingdom Hearts|game}}''. It allows the user to dodge attacks with a forward roll, during which they are invulnerable to enemy attacks. Leveling up increases the distance covered by the roll.


==Mechanics==
It was one of the first abilities Sora learned in ''Kingdom Hearts'', and it was already known during ''Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories''. In ''Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix'' it is learned when Sora reached level 3 of the [[Limit Form]], a [[Drive Form]] based on his ''Kingdom Hearts'' attire.
In ''Kingdom Hearts'', Dodge Roll is a [[combat ability]] used by [[Sora]]. It is executed by pressing {{button|s}} and pushing {{button|lana}} in any direction, though {{button|s}} can be tapped without a direction if [[Guard]] is not equipped. It costs 1 {{AP}} to equip.


In ''[[Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories]]'', Dodge Roll is an innate movement ability that is executed by double-tapping the control pad in a direction during battle. In ''[[Kingdom Hearts Re:Chain of Memories]]'', it is executed by pressing {{button|s}} and can also be used outside of battle. When used on the platform created by the [[Gimmick Card]] during the battle against {{ns|Game|Maleficent (Dragon)}}, Dodge Roll has Sora perform a dash along with the platform.
==''Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days''==
In ''Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days'', to use Dodge Roll, equip the panel to one of your panel slots (the first Dodge Roll panel is the reward for mission 5), then press Y and one of your directional arrows at the same time. The Dodge Roll ③ panel is obtained as a reward for completing mission 51. Dodge Roll LV+ are available in the shop once you reach the rank of agent.  


In ''[[Kingdom Hearts II]]'', Dodge Roll<ref>Known as {{nihongo|'''Dodge Roll'''|スイッチロール|Suichi Rōru|lit. "Switch Roll"}} in ''[[Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix]]''.</ref> is a [[Reaction Command]].
Using Dodge Roll will make your character roll in whichever direction you press, possibly escaping an attack if you time it right. Air Slide works the same way, except it works only in the air, while Dodge Rolls stick to the ground.


In ''[[Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix]]'', Dodge Roll is also a [[growth ability]] that costs 3 {{AP}} to equip. It allows Sora to perform a combat roll by pressing {{button|s}}. Leveling it up increases the distance of the roll. If [[Guard]] is equipped, Dodge Roll can only be executed by also tilting {{button|lana}}, and if [[Quick Run]] is equipped, it can only be executed by quickly tapping {{button|s}}.
== Trivia ==


In ''[[Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days]]'', Dodge Roll is an [[ability panel]] that can be leveled up from '''Dodge Roll LV1''' to '''Dodge Roll LV2''' and '''Dodge Roll LV3''' by linking {{nihongo|'''Dodge Roll LV+ Ⓛ'''|ドッジアップⓁ|Dojji Appu Ⓛ|lit. "Dodge Up Ⓛ"}} panels, increasing invincibility time, rolling distance, and speed. Higher levels can also push enemies out of the character's path while rolling. It is triggered by pressing {{button|dsy}} and a direction on the control pad.
*In the ''[[Kingdom Hearts (manga)|Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories Manga]]'' Sora makes a joke of how the Dodge Roll changes in the game of the same name.


In ''[[Kingdom Hearts Re:coded]]'', Dodge Roll is a [[Bonus Booster]] ability that can be leveled up from '''Dodge Roll Lv.1''' to '''Dodge Roll Lv.2'''. It is triggered by pressing {{button|dsy}} and holding a direction on the control pad, though {{button|dsy}} can be tapped without a direction if a [[Block]]-type command is not equipped.
* In ''[[Kingdom Hearts II]]'', Sora uses Dodge Roll as [[Reaction Command]] when a [[Minute Bomb]] Heartless is about to explode.
 
[[Category:Abilities]]
In ''[[Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep]]'', Dodge Roll is a {{c|movement command|BBS}} exclusive to [[Ventus]]. It is activated by pressing {{button|s}} and a direction on {{button|lana}}, though {{button|s}} can be tapped without a direction if a [[Block]]-type command is not equipped. It has a maximum level of 4.
 
In ''[[Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance]]'', Dodge Roll is a {{c|movement command|DDD}} that is triggered by moving {{button|3dsana}} and pressing {{button|dsy}} ({{button|s}} in ''[[Kingdom Hearts Dream Drop Distance HD]]''), though the button can be tapped without a direction if a [[Block]]-type command is not equipped. It can be used to initiate [[Flowmotion]]. Sora's version is identical to previous games, while Riku's is similar to his [[High-Speed Step]] in ''Kingdom Hearts Re:Chain of Memories''.
 
In ''[[Kingdom Hearts III]]'', Dodge Roll is a [[mobility ability]] activated by pressing {{button|square}}/{{button|xboxx}} while moving.
 
In ''[[Kingdom Hearts Melody of Memory]]'', some characters may execute a Dodge Roll to evade the cinematic attack after a Dark Zone in a boss battle. Depending on the player's performance in the Dark Zone, it may fail to activate, causing the player to take damage.
