Unless you are under a Speed spell, Haste spell or something similar , there is no time for this.

A 5 second combat turn implies quite a bit of dancing with the enemy, we are just rolling for that one attack of opportunity (split second chance), where you see the opportunity to slip your blade in just over the shield.

We are not assuming in TFT that you have a full 5 seconds to move your knight on the chessboard.

It just beats the hell out of a 60 second D&D round.
