'''Dodge Roll''' is a technique introduced in ''{{c|Kingdom Hearts|game}}''. It allows the user to dodge attacks with a forward roll, during which they are invulnerable to enemy attacks. Leveling up increases the distance covered by the roll.

==Mechanics==
In ''Kingdom Hearts'', Dodge Roll is a [[combat ability]] used by [[Sora]]. It is executed by pressing {{button|s}} and pushing {{button|lana}} in any direction, though {{button|s}} can be tapped without a direction if [[Guard]] is not equipped. It costs 1 {{AP}} to equip.

In ''[[Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories]]'', Dodge Roll is an {{c|ability|com}} that is executed by double-tapping the control pad in a direction during battle.

In ''[[Kingdom Hearts Re:Chain of Memories]]'', Dodge Doll is an {{c|ability|com}} that is executed by pressing {{button|s}}. It can be used during and outside of battle. When used on the platform created by the [[Gimmick Card]] during the battle against {{ns|Game|Maleficent (Dragon)}}, Dodge Roll has Sora perform a dash along with the platform.

In ''[[Kingdom Hearts II]]'', Dodge Roll<ref>Known as {{nihongo|'''Dodge Roll'''|スイッチロール|Suitchi Rōru|lit. "Switch Roll"}} in ''[[Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix]]''.</ref> is a [[Reaction Command]].

In ''[[Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix]]'', Dodge Roll is also a [[growth ability]] that costs 3 {{AP}} to equip. It allows Sora to perform a combat roll by pressing {{button|s}}. Leveling it up increases the distance of the roll. If [[Guard]] is equipped, Dodge Roll can only be executed by also tilting {{button|lana}}, and if [[Quick Run]] is equipped, it can only be executed by quickly tapping {{button|s}}.

In ''[[Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days]]'', Dodge Roll is an [[ability panel]] that can be leveled up from '''Dodge Roll LV1''' to '''Dodge Roll LV2''' and '''Dodge Roll LV3''' by linking {{nihongo|'''Dodge Roll LV+ Ⓛ'''|ドッジアップⓁ|Dojji Appu Ⓛ|lit. "Dodge Up Ⓛ"}} panels, increasing invincibility time, rolling distance, and speed. Higher levels can also push enemies out of the character's path while rolling. The roll grants 0.1 seconds of invincibility at LV1, 0.2 seconds at LV2, and 0.3 seconds at LV3. It is triggered by pressing {{button|dsy}} and a direction on the control pad.

In ''[[Kingdom Hearts Re:coded]]'', Dodge Roll is a [[Bonus Booster]] ability that can be leveled up from '''Dodge Roll Lv.1''' to '''Dodge Roll Lv.2'''. It is triggered by pressing {{button|dsy}} and holding a direction on the control pad, though {{button|dsy}} can be tapped without a direction if a [[Block]]-type command is not equipped.

In ''[[Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep]]'', Dodge Roll is a {{c|movement command|BBS}} exclusive to [[Ventus]]. It is activated by pressing {{button|s}} and a direction on {{button|lana}}, though {{button|s}} can be tapped without a direction if a [[Block]]-type command is not equipped. It has a maximum level of 4.

In ''[[Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance]]'', Dodge Roll is a {{c|movement command|DDD}} that is triggered by moving {{button|3dsana}} and pressing {{button|dsy}} ({{button|s}} in ''[[Kingdom Hearts Dream Drop Distance HD]]''), though the button can be tapped without a direction if a [[Block]]-type command is not equipped. It can be used to initiate [[Flowmotion]]. Sora's version is identical to previous games, while Riku's is similar to his [[High-Speed Step]] in ''Kingdom Hearts Re:Chain of Memories''. 

In ''[[Kingdom Hearts III]]'', Dodge Roll is a [[mobility ability]] activated by pressing {{button|square}}/{{button|xboxx}} while moving.

In ''[[Kingdom Hearts Melody of Memory]]'', some characters may execute a Dodge Roll to evade the cinematic attack after a Dark Zone in a boss battle. Depending on the player's performance in the Dark Zone, it may fail to activate, causing the player to take damage.
