DemonDash

Magical dashing system — fast traversal with style.

On this page

DemonDash is a simple charm that lets your avatar dash long distances at high speed.

Attach the dasher

The dasher is an invisible attachment. Attach it anywhere on your avatar, or as a HUD.

How to dash

  • Forward or backward: double-tap the ↑ or ↓ arrow key quickly.
  • Up or down: double-tap Page Up or Page Down.
  • Or: hold the left mouse button and press an arrow key once.

Laggy region?

The mouse-button method is very useful in laggy regions, or if your frame rate (FPS) is low.

Change speed

Type one of these in local chat:

Type in local chat
dash slow
dash medium
dash fast

The dasher starts on medium.

Change the particle color

Type color and a color name in local chat. For example:

Type in local chat
color blue

Available colors: red, green, blue (default), orange, yellow, pink, white, purple, black.

Show or edit the dasher

If you need to see the dasher on your avatar, type one of these:

Type in local chat
dash show
dash edit
dash idle

To hide it again and dash as normal, left-click the dasher, or type one of these:

Type in local chat
dash hide
dash resume

You cannot dash while the dasher is in edit or idle mode.

Turn dashing off and on

Turn dashing off when you want to use your arrow keys normally, for example in a race or a game:

Type in local chat
dash off
dash on

Check your version

Type in local chat
dash version

Reset the dasher

If the dasher stops working correctly, restart it:
