Playing a heavy armor build in Elden Ring means embracing a slower dodge roll that comes with reduced invincibility frames (i-frames). To succeed with this, you need to adapt your combat approach and be more strategic about when and how you evade attacks. Here are key tips to adjust your playstyle for slow dodge effectively:

1. Prioritize Timing Over Frequency

Unlike fast rolls where you can often dodge repeatedly and reactively, slow dodge requires precise timing.

Watch enemy attack animations closely and roll just before the hit lands to Elden Ring Items maximize your invincibility frames.

Avoid spamming the dodge button, as premature or late rolls will waste stamina and leave you vulnerable.

2. Positioning Is Crucial

Maintain optimal distance from enemies to give yourself enough reaction time to read their moves.

Against slow, heavy-hitting bosses or enemies, position yourself to the side or slightly behind them where their attack arcs are less likely to reach.
