During the switch to AnimGraph2, certain animations have had their properties changed, resulting in strange or unusual interactions compared to the rest of the cast. As of current writing, the characters who have fully switched over to AnimGraph2 are: Abrams, Bebop, Billy, Drifter, Dynamo, Holliday, Ivy, Kelvin, Lady Geist, Lash, Mirage, Mo & Krill, Paige, Pocket, Seven, Sinclair, Victor, Vindicta, Vyper, and Warden.

Ag2Dashing only works during set times in the match. From 0:00–0:30, 2:05–8:30, and 34:05 onwards, you are able to Ag2Dash. Any other time will result in a dash being cut short.

By dashing and then crouching on a ramp on the next tick as these characters, you can gain a large impulse of speed, with peaks of 1065 u/s. This speed quickly tapers off due to sliding friction.

During the laning phase, this can be a faster way of reaching troopers to deny or confirm them. Outside of the laning phase, this technique is extremely niche.
