Evasion

Evasion Techniques generally protect you from attacks rather than damaging your enemies. Evasion techniques are improved with Evasion Power.

Evasion techniques can be "Broad" or "Directional". Most evasion Techniques fall under the former category, meaning they block all attacks in during a single pass. However, some techniques only block the opponent you are specifically targeting that round. For details, see Directional Evasion.

There is some weirdness going on with techniques that change to a different damage type other than the one listed in their technique description. (eg. Channel Inspiration with the appropriate inspiration effect active may not get blocked??) Needs spading if this is a bug or intentional or how this works.

Evasion Techniques

Other techniques that Evade Damage

NOTE: Techniques which block damage as a "side effect" work subtly differently than regular Evasion — they will block damage for the "base form" of the technique, but not if it changes form. For example Clashing Blow normally blocks Melee damage, but will not block Melee Damage if it coming from Channel Inspiration, because Channel Inspiration is not a Melee technique in its base form.
