Have you ever wondered what effect Equip Load has on your dodging and backstepping? There are four different categories of weight when you’re calculating dodge speed and distance. The results are entirely based on your Equip Load percentage.
Equipment Load Effects
| Speed | Equip Load % | Effect |
|---|---|---|
| Slowest | Over 100% | Rolling and backstepping are disabled |
| Very Slow | 70-100% | Rolling is ponderous; you get 12 frames of invulnerability |
| Normal | 30-70% | Rolling is very responsive; you get 13 frames of invulnerability |
| Fast | 0-30% | Rolling is extremely fast; you get 13 frames of invulnerability |
The faster your category, the further you roll and the longer you have to cancel the roll.
Backstepping only has three categories for its speed. You cannot backstep at 100% Equip Load (and over). Slow backstepping is used with 70-100% Equip Load; everything under that is at the fastest speed.
