The key to performing Extreme Evasions in Solo Leveling: Arise lies in perfect timing. When you dodge right before an enemy attack hits, you trigger an Extreme Evasion. These key timings change depending on whatever enemy you’re facing and their attack animations. To master the art of Extreme Evasion, you can:

  • Practice Extreme Evasions on weaker enemies with slower attacks.
  • Learn attack timings and animations from enemies.
  • Experiment with your dodge timings, but be mindful of your cooldowns.

If you’re looking for the easiest enemies to Extreme Evasions in Solo Leveling: Arise, I’d recommend the small exploding spiders in chapter seven or the Blue Spirit Golem, who has some pretty slower attacks.
