How to Catch and Avoid Balls in Prison Dodgeball

Catching and avoiding dodgeballs are two important skills you need to learn in Prison Dodgeball. Getting hit too many times will cause you to lose all your Hearts and get sent to prison, making it harder to help your team win. Instead of focusing only on attacking enemies, you should also learn how to defend yourself and react to incoming throws. There are two main ways to avoid getting eliminated: using your movement to dodge incoming balls and catching them with the right timing. Here is how both mechanics work.

How to Catch Dodgeballs

Catching allows you to stop an incoming dodgeball before it hits your character. If you successfully catch an opponent’s throw, you can avoid losing a Heart and even remove one Heart from the player who threw the ball.

Follow these steps to catch a dodgeball:

1. Watch your opponents and wait for someone to throw a ball toward you.
2. Make sure you are not already holding a dodgeball.
3. Press the F key when the incoming ball is close to reaching your character.
4. If your timing is correct, you will successfully catch the ball.

The most important part of catching is timing. Dodgeballs move quickly, so pressing F too early or too late can cause you to miss the catch. Pay attention to the ball’s movement instead of focusing only on the player throwing it.

How to Avoid Incoming Dodgeballs

If catching is too difficult, you can use movement to avoid incoming attacks. Prison Dodgeball allows you to move around the arena and use Dash to quickly change your position.

Here are some tips to help you avoid getting hit:

• Use Dash: Activate Dash when an opponent throws a ball toward you. This allows you to move quickly and avoid attacks.
• Move Sideways: Running left or right can make it harder for opponents to predict your position.
• Watch Your Opponents: Pay attention to players who are preparing to throw a dodgeball so you can react before the attack reaches you.
• Avoid Staying in One Place: Standing still makes you an easier target, especially when several opponents are attacking at once.
• Predict Enemy Throws: Watch where your opponents are aiming and try to move away from the expected landing position.

Keep Your Distance From Opponents

Positioning also plays an important role when defending yourself. Staying too close to enemy players can make it difficult to react to their throws, while standing too far away may limit your own attacking opportunities.

Try to maintain enough distance so you have time to react when someone throws a dodgeball. You can also move around the arena to avoid becoming an easy target. If several opponents are focusing on you, use Dash to escape and find a safer position.

What Happens When You Get Hit?

Every player has a limited number of Hearts during a match. When you get hit by an opponent’s dodgeball, you lose one Heart. Once all your Hearts are gone, you will be eliminated from the active match and sent to prison.

However, getting eliminated does not mean you have nothing left to do. You can still collect dodgeballs from the sidelines to help your team while waiting for another opportunity to return to the action.

Learning how to catch and avoid dodgeballs will help you survive longer in Prison Dodgeball. Use the F key to catch incoming attacks, activate Dash to escape dangerous situations, and keep moving so opponents have a harder time hitting you.

Try practicing both catching and dodging instead of relying on just one defensive method. Combining good timing with smart movement will give you a better chance of protecting your Hearts and helping your team win.
