Sprinting
Last updated 2026-09-09
Sprinting is a movement ability that allows the player to move faster. Under normal circumstances, each dash costs 18 Stamina, and continuous sprinting costs 18 Stamina per second.
Characters cannot sprint while in water, unless it is very shallow. Sprinting may also be disabled by certain character abilities, in certain game modes, or by certain exploration mechanics (such as Dark Mud).
Mechanics that affect Movement SPD also affect sprinting speed.
Dash
Players can perform a dash for a short burst of speed and to evade enemy attacks by pressing the button to sprint. Sprinting enters a short cooldown if two dashes are used in quick succession. However, this does not apply to Alternate Sprints.
While using a dash or initiating an Alternative Sprint, characters are granted a brief period of Invincibility Frames that allows them to evade most attacks. However, although rare, certain attacks that cannot be avoided by the use of Dash i-frames do exist.
Sprint
Players can move at a higher speed while continuously consuming Stamina by holding the button to sprint while moving in a direction until the player begins sprinting, indicated by briefly visible winds around the character.
Distance Covered
The distance covered by dashing and sprinting differs by model type. Tall male characters cover the most distance while sprinting, followed by tall female characters and medium male characters, followed by medium female characters, followed by very short female characters.
Note that the Stamina consumed per second is the same for all character models.
Alternate Sprint
Some characters have an Alternate Sprint which replaces the normal sprint.
