This is an VERY important note before you start using evade, i highly sugest to change the "X-axis controle type" to 1, because of the camera controls (thanks god, this game have no lock-on)


Turn around mean a full control over your evasion movement, First of all your movement have a 8 way limitation, and the direction you will aim is reversed, for the exemple if you want to dodge to the lower right you will need to press to uper right direction,
- Press up will make you do a down dodge
- Press down will make you do a up dodge
- Press left will make you do a right dodge
- press right will make you do a left dodge
- press diagonal up left will make you do a diagonal down right dodge
- press diagonal up right will make you do a diagonal down left dodge
- press diagonal down left will make you do a diagonal up right dodge
- press diagonal down right will make you do a diagonal up left dodge
This is just the basic of evsion learn to know when to use it and you are fine, digonal dodge are the best in most situation since most of monster have a one way attack (exemple, tigrex bite attack).
Also you have two grade of distance if you hold a direction the evasion distance will improve, for the exemple you can do 3 back hop in a normal way, 2 back hop and a long back hop, a normal back hop and a long right step, ect ect
Next let's get into more complicated or simplified section about evade.
As you know this skill have 3 level, the first level is evade+0, in other words you don't have the skill yet but you can still dodge attack with a right timming, the next upgrade is evade+1 who increase your evasion time to 0.15S, next grade is evade+2 who give a boost to 0.22S the grade form evade+1 to +2 is not that great (i need to know the evasion time of no evade, i can't get my hand on it for the moment).
But how can i train my evasion ability ?. Yea that's a point, first of all make sure you don't have any evade skill with you, it will help with your timming, next get the best armor defense you can get, and chose a monster (elder rank as preference) and try evading monster attack and see what append, a very good monster to train is rathian since she have a lot of attack patern for different evasion training, train on her fireball first, when you can dodge is fireball at least 10 time on 10 you can try dodging her tail whip once you can dodge at least 2 or 3 time in a row, you can try the same process with evade+1.
Evade+2 is the next skill grade, but i seriously think that this skill is realy not needed, before going into this skill use, go back to the training and this time chose monster who have a large aoe during motion (exclude monster charge) a really nice evade+1 training is Akantor, this monster have a decent tail whip aoe, and practice his tail whip evasion.

Now let's talk about evade inc, this skill increase your evasion distance a lot, there's a lot of people who say that this skill is the best for lance, actualy i think they are totaly wrong, this is not a good lancing skill for fighting.
First let's see a crapy schema about evade inc format vs basic evade format
the black arrow show normal evade and the red arrow show evade inc

As you can see the distance is a little improved (and this is the first time i found an use for paint XD)

Now let's get into the excelent point of evade inc. His motion ability is simply awesome, eary in this chapter i talked about evasion way, but evade inc increase a lot the long back hop option, using this for fast moving withouth sheating your weapon is simply great,
the little crapy schema here show you a pitiful exemple.

Now let's talk about why evade inc is bad for fighting ?, anyone know that lance is a weapon used for pressure attack right ?, and what evade inc do ?,it remove a little the pressure you give to the monster, so think about it and use it wisely.

4B - Dodge cancel
Dodge cancel is a realy hard to do lance trick you must press the directonal button change at the same time, if you can get this trick like 1/50 is really fine, i personaly don't bother with it since the difficulty about it, also it only work after a small down stab attack.
This video on youtube show how it's look.

4C - Stand alone evasion.
See the last WTF to hard to use lance trick ?, chose this one a multiply his difficutly *over ninse thousand and.. think is still harder, so why talking about it ?, because i think is a good idea that people must know about it and find a way to make it usable since this trick look simply awesome.
First it work only with up direction evade (you will do a turn around dodge to the back) but what that's do ?, your character will simply do the evade movement withouth any distance move, it will just perfectly stand on the place you where are,... Wait ? but i can do that in a corner ?, that's right, but how about anywhere in the filed ?..- see ?. For the moment i don't have any more path information about it, i recently discovered that when playing dumb with evasion movement after the end of the battle.

4D - Roar evasion
Ha, monster roar, every one know it, it can get really annoying (HI 13 monoblos roar in a row !?).
Lucky for us, whe can dodge monster roar, not all, but you can.
Actualy evade+1 is enought for most of monster roar evade, the only roar i know you can dodge withouth evade is Naruga, tigrex. It can work vs khezu, but is a damn glitch.
Roar dodge is not that hard to learn, you just need to learn at what frame the monster gona start the effect and at what moment you need to start the dodge, a nice training monster for that is golden rathian with evade+1.
