Avoidance

If no prevention occurs, or the attempted prevention fails, conflict resolution proceeds to the avoidance phase. During this phase, the character defending makes an opposed CR against their aggressor, adding their avoidance modifiers. Abilities that use the Defend or Dodge may be activated during this phase of conflict resolution.

For each 2 points that the attacker fails by, the Potency of the attack is reduced by 1 rank. If the Potency would be reduced to 0, the attack completely misses.
