Evasion
Evasion
Stat that is compared to an enemy attacker's accuracy to determine the chance that a character has of avoiding an attack. See Hit Rate for details.
Evasion is directly affected by a character's evasion skill and AGI. For every two points of AGI a character has, their evasion is raised by one point. See Check for details on how to interpret high evasion and low evasion check messages.
Evasion Skill
A character's natural evasion skill gained via actual combat experience. Different jobs have different evasion potentials.
