You gotta level up adaptibility to improve rolling in Dark Souls 2, I believe you need agility of 105 points to be completely "invincible" during the rolling animation.

there is, it works a bit differently in terms of how they're regulated but ds2 has i-frames as well

there is/were actually

you need to increase the agility stat (by increasing adaptability and/or attunement) for some "decent" i-frames in DS2

and they are/were applied to the start of the roll rather than the entire thing

as for all three games,you just need to time it properly

In Dark Souls 2 there's the Adaptability stat, leveling that up raises agility which in turn gives you more i-frames during rolls (and backsteps.)

DS2 is the only game that has an i-frame stat, and nobody liked it.

Not true.

Every roll but fat roll has them yes. Mid rolls have less than fast rolls so you're best off staying 25% (or less) encumbered. Mid roll is typically fine for most places, but for certain areas and bosses you need to be able to fast roll. You should never go into PVP if you can't fast roll IMO.

Fat roll has i frames. Just not as many.

It only has them for 9 frames during recovery. Afaik there's none during the roll itself. I could be wrong though.

There likely fewer (or seem) but the bigger diffrence is the start up/stop are sig less in dks3.

Also back step has some i frames in dks1.

All rolls have i-frames. There are 5 "gates" of weight that can determine how many i-frames you get.

From worst to best:
+ If your weight is over 100%, you cannot roll at all. If you try, you'll just flail around.
+ If you're between 50% and 100%, you'll do a flop that's more commonly known as a "fat roll". It has the least amount of i-frames of all rolls.
+ If you're between 25% and 50%, you'll do a more-or-less normal roll. Known as the "mid roll", this has the 2nd best amount of i-frames.
+ If you're below 25%, you'll do a dive-and-roll known as a "fast roll". The fast roll has the same amount of i-frames as a mid roll, but the animation ends quicker so you spend less time in recovery.
+ If you're below 25% and have the Dark Wood Grain Ring equipped, the fast roll changes to a series of handsprings and cartwheels known as "ninja flips". Ninja-flipping has more i-frames and less recovery frames than the fast roll (the i-frames last almost the whole animation), but the weight requirements mean you more than likely won't have particularly protective gear on plus it also takes up a ring slot.

Backstep i-frames in DS2 are the best. Better than every other game...
