11 Evasive Fencer is a talent in the Fencer branch of the Windrose Talent System. Every Perfect Dash (frame-perfect dodge) restores a percentage of the current Passive Gun Reload bar, letting a Rapier duelist refill a queued Pistol shot by dodging instead of standing still to reload.

1111 Evasive Fencer is a choice-node talent. It is paired with Disciplined Fencer at the same planner position. Investing any points here locks out the paired talent until a respec, which is free at any time from the Stats and Talents screen, so the lockout is reversible rather than permanent.

1818 Strong for dodge-focused Rapier builds that prefer sidestep dashes over parries. Higher ceiling than Disciplined Fencer (55% vs 35%) but Perfect Dashes are harder to land consistently than Perfect Blocks, so the payoff depends on dodge timing.

3030 Evasive Fencer is the dodge-focused choice node. Higher ceiling than Disciplined Fencer (55% vs 35%) but requires landing Perfect Dashes, which are harder to execute consistently than Perfect Blocks. It rewards an aggressive Agile Fencer that already dashes through enemy combos, turning each dodge into reload value rather than a purely defensive move.

3434 At rank 3 (55%) a Perfect Dash against an Israel Hands swing restores 55% of the current Passive Gun Reload progress. If the reload bar is at 40% when the dash lands, the bar jumps to 95%, immediately enabling a follow-up pistol shot.

3838 Mutually exclusive with Disciplined Fencer. Pick the trigger that matches your defensive habit: dashes here, blocks on the paired node.Agile (Fencer Tier 1) reduces the Stamina cost of each dash, so it is the usual prerequisite invest: cheap dashes plus high-value Perfect Dashes.
