Moles and their digging move

[Nightpanda2810]

I was solo grinding on some Drybone Shrew today, and I think I have figured out how to not get hit when they jump out of the ground. What I have noticed, if I move away from where I was standing when they dig under, then turn to face where I was standing, I never get hit. In fact, it seems they do not even use the ability on me. I took a video to demonstrate. Keep in mind I've only tried this on Drybone Shrew.

I didn't know this was a secret. I just always move out of the way and it pops up close to where it dug under (and where I was standing).

The annoying part of these is just that you lose the target.

Wish this worked on the Hedgemoles on Lv40 leves/in Darkhold that shoot AoE spines when they shoot up.

Throwing a ton of DoTs on moles seems pretty effective. They eat away at them even while they're underground.

Yeah, it's one of the many avoidable TP moves in the game. Many don't realize you can avoid quite a bit of moves in this game, but people didn't bother because they didn't think SE actually implemented positional mechanics.

Such as Yarzon and their spit attack when they charge up just move behind them you don't get hit and you get a few free hits.

Oh wow and the Nobel Prize goes to . . .

I used to run from the Moles all the time, but with the Hedgemole at Broken Water (LQ), when I ran away, they just kept being underground and wouldn't surface. So I had to move in and eat the attack to make it come back so I can kill it =_=;;
