How to Dodge in Sonic Frontiers
Evading
There are two types of dodge moves inSonic Frontiers. The first one is the Evade move, which can be done by pressing the left or right bumper on the controller, but the Evade can only be donewhen the camera is locked on or while Sonic is airborne. This allows Sonic to avoid a devastating move from an enemy or just move around.
Players can press in on the right control stick to lock on to an enemy inSonic Frontiers. If there’s no nearby enemy, the camera will reset instead.
Cartwheel Dodge
The other type of dodge that Sonic can perform inSonic Frontiers is the Cartwheel action, which can be done bypressing the left or right bumpers while Sonic stands still. If Sonic is running and players press the left or right bumper, he’ll do a Quick Step instead, which moves him to the right or left quickly without needing to move him with the left control stick physically.
How to Parry in Sonic Frontiers
Parrying inSonic Frontierswill not only allow Sonic to avoid an enemy attack, but it’ll also slow down time for a few seconds, similar toWitch Time in theBayonettaseries. Players will be able to get a couple of quick hits on the opponent before they retaliate.To parry inSonic Frontiers, players canhold down the left and right bumpers. Parrying is super easy inFrontiersbecause players can just hold it until the enemy attacks –there’s no need to press it right when they attack. Of course, for those who want theparrying to be on the level ofSoulsgames, players can still press the buttons right when the attack lands.
Sonic Frontiersis available for PC, PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
