The dash
First stepsEveryone's quick burst, on land and in water.
How to dash
Press V (on a gamepad, double-tap sprint). Tatazo bursts about 3 m the way he is moving, on land or in water.
- It costs 10 stamina.
- It's ready again after 4 seconds. Its icon beside the ability bar shows the recharge.
- Every gator has it, from the very first minute. No class needed.
When to dash
- Out of a ring. When a creature's leap or ground pound shows a ring on the ground, dash out of it.
- Past a charge. When a boar or a stag lowers its head, dash to the side.
- Out of trouble in water. It works while swimming too.
Stamina is shared
Sprinting, dashing and some class abilities all use stamina. If your stamina bar is empty, you can't dash. Rest a moment, eat, or drink a stamina tonic.
Other ways to move fast
- The Quickstep spell every class learns at level 20: 35% faster for 6 seconds.
- The Ninja's Shadow Dash (level 8) goes much further and nicks everything on the way.
- Speed gear: boots and rings with a speed power (see Item powers).
- A Leaf Glider, a Canoe, a capybara friend or a horse: see Getting around, and animal friends.
