{{Distinguish|Evasion}}

'''Dodge''' is a [[Receiving damage|layer of defence]] that grants a chance to prevent a damaging [[hit]]. The chance to dodge is a random roll made per attack/cast; it is not entropy-based like [[evasion]] nor is it affected by [[accuracy]]. Dodge is capped at 75% and is [[Damage calculation|rolled]] before [[block]]. Damage [[Avoidance|avoidance]] is a separate mechanic and is rolled after block.

==Mechanics==
There are two types of dodge:
* '''Dodge Attacks''' applies to [[attack damage|attacks]]. It is [[Damage calculation|rolled after]] [[evasion]] and is not connected to the attacker's [[accuracy]], so chance to dodge is unaffected by evasion-related mechanics such as [[blind]], [[Resolute Technique]] or [[Unwavering Stance]].
* '''Dodge Spell Damage''' applies to [[spell damage|spells]]. It is rolled before [[Damage calculation|damage mitigation]].

'''Dodge Attacks''' and '''Dodge Spell Damage''' are both capped at 75%.

==Monsters==
Certain unique monsters can use [[Vaal Grace]].

[[Blackguard Stalker|Blackguard Stalkers]] can dodge attacks and spells.

[[Tormented Spirit|Tormented Rogue's]] Touch grants 33% Chance to Dodge Attacks, while its Grip grants 33% Chance to Dodge Attacks and 33% Chance to Dodge Spells.

==Miscellaneous==
===Bandit===
Helping [[Kraityn]] during the quest [[Deal with the Bandits]] grants {{c|mod|3% Chance to Dodge Attacks}}, as well as {{c|mod|6% increased Attack and Cast Speed}} and {{c|mod|6% increased Movement Speed}}.
===Pantheon===
The Soul of [[Lunaris]] Major [[Pantheon]] power has an upgrade that grants {{c|mod|5% chance to Dodge Attacks and Spells if you've been Hit Recently}}.

===Elusive===
The [[Elusive]] buff grants {{c|mod|15% Chance to Dodge Attacks}} and {{c|mod|15% Chance to Dodge Spells}}. The chance decays over time.

===Modifiers===
[[The Fall of Oriath]] introduced several new tiers of suffix modifiers to Dexterity body armour and shields that grant attack dodge and several new tiers of suffix modifiers to Dexterity shields that grant spell dodge. These modifiers also affect Dexterity hybrid attribute base items, including [[Sacrificial Garb]]. The [[Essences]] of [[Deafening Essence of Loathing|Loathing]] and [[Deafening Essence of Scorn|Scorn]] provide suffix mods that grant attack dodge and spell dodge, respectively, on [[body armour]] and [[boots]]. [[Corrupted|Corruption]] can grant a corrupted implicit mod on [[boots]] that gives {{c|mod|(2 to 4)% Chance to Dodge Attacks}}. Certain [[List of helmet enchantment mods|helmet]] and [[List of boot enchantment mods|boot]] [[Enchantment|Enchantments]] can grant conditional dodge or spell dodge.

[[War for the Atlas]] included new types of items along with mods that involve dodge. Notably, Shaped and Elder items can have dodge and spell dodge on boots as special suffix modifiers. Dodge is associated with the Shaper, while spell dodge is associated with the Elder. Both rolls can reach up to 10% but are mutually exclusive. There is also a Shaped mod for shields that grants {{c|mod|(3-5)% chance to Dodge Attacks if you have Blocked Recently}}. [[Abyss Jewel|Abyss Jewels]] can roll {{c|mod|2% chance to Dodge Attacks and Spells if you've been Hit Recently}}, similar to the Lunaris Pantheon power upgrade. [[The Elder]] can drop {{il|Watcher's Eye}}, which can roll two distinct modifiers related to dodge: {{c|mod|(6-10)% chance to Dodge Attacks while affected by [[Grace]]}} and {{c|mod|(5-8)% chance to Dodge Spells while affected by [[Haste]]}}.
