Dashing

How to get it

Available from your first connection, there's nothing to unlock. On PC or laptop, press Q; on mobile, tap the "Dash" button; on console or controller, shake the left joystick twice.

How it works

Each dash propels you forward a short distance, faster than normal running, and costs 30 energy points, or only 15 with Rabbit V2.

In shift lock, you can dash in any direction: press Q at the same time as a movement key (W, A, S, or D).

What lengthens or shortens your dash

• Rabbit or Human at V2 or higher: noticeably longer dash.
• Rabbit and Ghoul races lengthen the distance in general.
• Some accessories also lengthen the dash, for example Dino Hood.
• Kitsune at 2 tails or more: approximately 90% speed and dash bonus, with a spiral animation and blue particles.
• Since Update 17.3, dashes are slightly shorter in safe zones.
• With Buddha V2 or Venom, the dash appears shorter because of character size, but the actual distance is identical.

Note: the source gives a figure that is difficult to interpret as-is: a Rabbit V2 or higher that uses neither Agility nor Race Awakening would have a dash length of approximately 80%, without specifying 80% of what.

When you can't dash

• While swimming in water
• While you're stunned
• While executing a move

The Skull Guitar propulsion bug

A well-known bug among PvP players: if you chain a Skull Guitar M1 and a jump with dash at exactly the same time, you cover a distance far greater than normal. It works especially well when you're in a fling state.

1. Use a knockback move, for example Yama's [Z] or Sanguine Art's [Z], to propel yourself.
2. Trigger the bug immediately after.
3. Orient your body upward by aiming the move vertically: you then traverse a long distance and can surprise an opponent.

With Cyborg V4 (Energy Control), the distance obtained is even greater.

Cosmetic details and history

• The particles left on the ground after each dash take on the skin color of your Roblox avatar. Exception: the Kitsune tail counter from 2 onward.
• With guns and certain other equipped weapons, the dash animation doesn't display, but the dash still works.
• Update 1: dash is introduced to the game.
• Update 17.3: dashes slightly shortened in safe zones, animation improved.
• Update 17.3.5: minor visual overhaul of the trail.
