Dash

Dash is a skill available to all heroes, causing them to quickly move in a straight line along their current movement direction. If used while stationary, the hero will dash forwards. It has various purposes:

• Dodge incoming attacks by dashing sideways, backwards, or out of range of an area attack,
• Dashing while airborne (Air Dash), effectively increasing the distance of a jump,
• Dashing repeatedly to effectively increase Movement Speed over long distances.
