# What is Ciri's special ability in The Witcher 3?

> Ciri's signature move is Blink, a short-range teleport she uses to dodge and to strike enemies; it comes from her Elder Blood powers over space and time.

Ciri's special ability in The Witcher 3 is **Blink**, a short-range teleport. In the sections where you play as Ciri, she uses it instead of a normal dodge, appearing a few steps away in a flash, and she can charge it to dash between enemies and strike them. The ability comes from her Elder Blood, which lets her move through space and, in the story, travel between worlds and times.

## How Blink works in gameplay

- **Dodge:** pressing the dodge button makes Ciri teleport a short distance instead of rolling.
- **Charged attack:** holding the special attack button charges Blink; on release, she teleports to nearby enemies and hits them in quick succession.
- **Growth:** her abilities become stronger as the story progresses, especially in later Ciri sections.

Ciri's sections are short, so you don't manage her skills like Geralt's skill tree; her moves are set by the story.

## Her powers in the story

- **Elder Blood:** Ciri carries the bloodline of Lara Dorren, which grants rare powers.
- **Travel between worlds and times:** she can open passages through space and time, which is why the Wild Hunt pursues her.
- **Uncontrolled bursts:** under extreme stress, her power can erupt with destructive force.
- **The White Frost:** her role in stopping the White Frost is central to the game's ending, which depends on the player's choices.
