Do this first

Fast checklist

  1. 01

    Update every player's game before comparing the new behavior with an older guide or video.

  2. 02

    Open Help > Combat Controls > Basic Controls if you need the official Just Dodge explanation.

  3. 03

    For Hunt or Raid, let the party leader choose Retry after a final clear or party wipe when the option appears.

  4. 04

    Use the current lobby or Quick Entry flow and resolve any higher-version or leader-version warning before retrying.

  5. 05

    Read the live in-game labels as the final authority because future hotfixes may change the interface.

The 1.0.11 update in one minute

The official 1.0.11 notes are broader than the multiplayer changes alone. They add a new perfect-evade feature, improve lock-on behavior, adjust several heroes, add quality-of-life controls, and fix listed progression and combat bugs.

For most players, the useful distinction is between confirmed patch behavior and assumptions about the meta. This page explains what the notes actually say and links the separate multiplayer guide for the step-by-step lobby flow.

Just Dodge: what the official notes confirm

Just Dodge triggers when a player perfectly evades an enemy attack with Dodge. The notes list a short invincibility window, guaranteed critical hits, Active Skill Rage recovery, and partial Dodge Stamina recovery. The game also adds help documentation for the feature.

Those effects describe the feature; they do not by themselves prove which builds, encounters, or timing windows are easiest. Use the in-game help entry before treating a community timing tip as universal.

Combat and quality-of-life changes

The update notes describe comprehensive lock-on improvements covering the control scheme, target retention, target search, and camera movement. They also list hero-specific changes, new controls for camera blur and quest-guide display, and clearer hero and familiar acquisition information.

These are official patch-note changes, not a promise that every character or setting is stronger in every situation. Compare a build or damage claim against the exact hero and version before repeating it.

Multiplayer changes belong to the current flow

Update 1.0.11 adds Retry after a final clear or party wipe for Hunt or Raid, removes Lobby Search Range settings, and says lobbies now search by fastest response time. Quick Entry and invite-code joins also show useful version warnings.

For the player-facing order of operations, use the dedicated multiplayer guide: update everyone, open the current lobby or Quick Entry flow, resolve version warnings, and choose Retry only when the named Hunt or Raid condition shows it.
