Is there anyway to prevent from getting Snatch?

[*medic*]

Is there an armor or gears that a person can use to prevent from getting snatch? Thank you.

No, I think safety wall is your only protection.

KE works as well

If kyrie eleison protects against it (I heard it does, never personally tested), then amon ra shoes would probably work decently enough.

Hint : most monsters have more than 1 cell range for normal attacks, but snatch can be only used by monsters if they stand DIRECTLY next to you.
For example Dame of Sentinel can attack you this far with normal attacks

P: Player , _:Empty cell , S: Sentinel
_P_S_

However, if it wants to snatch you,it has to be right next to you
_PS_

and as long as you let the monster come to you, the monster will stop at 2 cell range and begin normal attacks, so no need for safetywall vs snatch when fighting in Thanatos tower.

Works the same way against wanderer.

_P_W_
Wanderer wont be able to snatch you

_PW_
Wanderer can snatch you

If you are not sure if the monster is right next to you or still 2 cells away, just move 1 or 2 cells AWAY from the monster,it will come after you and again stop at 2 cell range without being able to snatch.

However,this works only for monsters with 2 or more cells range, Arc angeling for example has 1 cell range, so it will be able to snatch you no matter what, unless youre protected by Safety wall.

This method works basicly against all skills with only 1 cell range and monsters with 2 cells or more range (like Turtle generals sonicblow)

Look in doddlers database

to find out the range of the monsters you want to fight against.

I dont know if this method works also against the skill Exile from Thanatos (which is similar to snatch but the "attacker" will stay at the current position,only the "victim" will teleport away as far as i understood the skill).

Although its kind of a teleport (as you know you can block teleport with ME) i think snatch can not be blocked by magnetic earth as far as i remember.
(like 1~2 years ago when i tested with ME vs arcangel)

dodgeing it as well i believe!

KE works as well

Only if the KE is a high enough level to block the full amount of the damage. KE preventing snatch works in the same way as Dodging the hit to begin with.

ok maybe i should have just said it this way.... its easy to prevent... just dont get hit. If you are worried about snatch you shouldnt be tanking or at the very least you should have sw on you when tanking. KE is a nice combination with sw to avoid snatch since it can cover that split sec between the sw spamming... And if you are taking more damage than a KE lasts in 1 hit you shouldnt be tanking.
