When at a specific distance from the target or in the middle of one's combo, the user performs a series of jerking spin slashes that advance themselves forward as they are twirling past incoming attacks.

Dodge Slash (ドッジスラッシュ, Dojji Surasshu) is a technique that appears in Kingdom Hearts II. It allows the user to unleash an attack that does damage to nearby enemies.

Mechanics

In Kingdom Hearts II, Dodge Slash is an action ability exclusive to Sora. It costs 2 AP to equip. Its description is erroneously switched with that of Slapshot, but this was corrected in Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix.

Dodge Slash is triggered as the first close-range attack in the combo. This attack parries other attacks quite well, but can miss some swings quite randomly against bosses. Against certain bosses with fast recovery time, they will break out of your combo and punish you.
