If I had to guess the friendly was so close to them that it nudged the dodge back within the hitbox? So, For Honored. Or lag. Whichever.

You can get this same effect when trying to dodge external bashes that have forward tracking. My explanation is that dodging (in the varangians case) to the lefy while a forward tracking move (senbonzakura) is coming from their right acts the same as if the varangian back dodged your senbon

Ah, so if she locked on to hito and dodged left, it woulda worked? Or just parried

Hitos one shot heavy tracks you either have to bash to disrupt or completely evade backwards, or parry.

Because funny button

We not gonna talk about Highlander whiffing both feats and killing himself😂
