Dodge and lunge are your two main movement mechanics in Ninja Gaiden Ragebound and help you bolster your defense and offense.
The Ninja Gaiden series has always been about making you feel like a powerful ninja. Over the years, the series transitioned from 2D to 3D, fully realizing its potential with the three-dimensional spatial movements and abilities. Now, the series is back to 2D with Ninja Gaiden Ragebound, but movement remains as stylish and important as ever, with dodge and lunge.
Dodge and lunge are your two main movement mechanics in Ninja Gaiden Ragebound. Dodge, much as its name suggests, allows you to evade enemy attacks while also phasing through them. Lunge is a leaping attack that helps you close distances and strike enemies swiftly.
Using these two abilities is a must, especially when the levels start throwing larger and larger hordes at you. If you’re confused about how to go about using these abilities, our guide is here to help.

You dodge in Ninja Gaiden Ragebound by pressing R1 on PlayStation, RB on Xbox, and LShift on PC. As soon as you press the dodge button, Kenji will roll forward and dodge the enemy attack. He has i-frames during most of the animation, so you’ll be able to dodge any attack coming your way. It is important to note that the i-frames disappear during the final quarter of the animation, so if you roll and your final quarter collides with the enemy, you will take damage.
You lunge much the same way as you dodge, but adding an attack towards the end of the dodge. The dodge animation rolls you forward, so if you attack while moving forward, it becomes a lunge. The keybind to lunge is R1+Square on PlayStation, RB+X on Xbox, and LShift+K on PC.
