Shin Megami Tensei has several fundamental mechanics that make navigating the overworld easier. One such mechanic is the Dash, a move that allows the Nahobino to sprint through the game’s wastelands at a breakneck pace. But how can players use this ability?
Holding either the ZL or ZR buttonallows players to dash in Shin Megami Tensei.If players want to perform an auto-Dash that keeps their character running without button input,tapping both ZL and ZRwill initiate theauto-dash.Tapping ZL and ZR again will cancel the auto-dash and allow players to return to a more leisurely pace.

Dashing is an excellent way to outrun aggressive enemies in Shin Megami Tensei V,as the Nahobino can easily outpace enemies. However, this bolstered speed comes at a price, as theNahobino cannot simultaneously use his preemptive strikeon enemies in the overworld. Make sure to take a more cautious approach if you plan on confronting demons, giving yourself time to strike them.
Be careful when running through the Netherworld using auto-Dash, as it can be more challenging to control than a manual Dash. Running through a horde of enemies while using the auto-Dash can cause players to get ambushed, so if there’s an abundance of adversaries around, we recommend gaining some distance before enabling auto-Dash.
