Double tap [A] or [D] to quickly dash!

Cooldown: 0.8s

Dash is a tech that allows the player to quickly dash forward. It has an 0.8 second cooldown and is activated by double tapping in the direction the player wants to dash towards. It's equipped in the body tech slot inside the Tech Console or the Tech Lab of the Outpost and can be upgraded to more powerful versions using tech cards.

By default, Dash propels the player at a speed of 50 (for comparison, the default run speed is 14) for 0.15 seconds. Dash speed is improved by Run Boost; however, as the distance dashed is small and the player stops at the end of a dash, the effect is not very noticeable.

While activated, characters are trailed by a white and blue blur. Dash can only be used while on the ground, and is particularly useful for melee focused characters, having both defense and offensive advantages for traveling in and out of melee range.

Dash in use (before the cooldown was added)

To unlock Dash, players will first have to complete a challenge course quest at the Outpost. After unlocking it, Air Dash, Sprint, and Blink Dash can be unlocked at the Tech Console or the Tech Lab of the Outpost. Each one costs 8 Tech Cards to unlock.


History
