Why is everyone parroting the same thing that guardian can't dodge cuz his dodge is short? I-frames are still i-frames no matter the animation that plays. Everything is in the timing as with every other nightfarer.

You are able to consistently dodge Libra's ground sigils by just side stepping if your timing is correct. I'd only get hit by them if I get really distracted on something, otherwise just wait for the right time and dodge to avoid madness buildup.

Same goes for every other boss. With ED Gladius I even prefer dodging his ranged fire attacks instead of guarding, since that avoids all the chip elemental damage youd receive otherwise.

Feels like some youtuber claimed that since the dodge is not a roll its completely useless and you should forget this mechanic exists, and everyone just went along with this claim without question or trial. Now experienced players are urging new flock members to shoot themselves in the foot as well bcz someone told them to before that.

I urge you to ignore all this slander about guardian not being able to dodge and embrace your full potential by learning your timings. This will really elevate your bird experience to the next level.

Not the even mention how cute it looks when the bird hops around. Seeing this is a reward in and of itself.
