How to dodge Nyx black hole attack?

[Invictaa]

Near the end of Nyx's fight, she sometimes uses an attack that sucks you into the middle and deals a ton of damage, but I don't know how to dodge it. I tried dashing but it just sucks you back in because it lasts for a while. Any advice?

you'll get the timing for when it's coming (sound effect, hp, etc). At that time, get to the outside edge of the map and keep moving towards the edge (as if you're trying to run off the map). You'll start to get pulled in slowly but keep running away

then the trick is that you have to avoid the damage from circles that pop up. Remember that you can give up some space by moving sideways or even towards the center black hole if you have to but save your dash for when you have no other option (a fully built mist has the best chance here with dashes and potentially parry). If you're having trouble, pick up something like winter dive that will allow you to quickly move away.

yeah best way to do it is just to get as far away as possible, you'll always know when nyx will do it based on the big red circle and she always does it after the 2nd invulnerability phase, so just book it for the edge of the map

Thanks for the answers. Two very promising runs ended back to back with this attack. I feel I probably didn't run fast enough.

If u dont have mobility skills u are dead, which is kinda stupid design.

you can also shield or outheal the damage. but maybe that specific attack could be changed for lowest difficulty where people expect to win by default.

The easiest solution is just beeing outside when it starts and then just walking away. Use your dash only if you really need to.

I never died to that attack since i did it like that with all of the Heroes.

Having played as Yubar, with only 1 dash, this is false. If you lack some mobility, you will have to just make it up with some practise; otherwise you'll take a bit of a beating, but getting your practise in should ensure you'll survive it eventually.

As others have said, recognising which boss phase it appears and getting to the outer edge helps immensely. Also, even whilst getting pulled in, you can move just as fast as you normally do running circles around the boss.

I'd argue Skoll is the boss that requires the most mobility to beat consistently though. Definitely the boss that hurts me the most in my solo Yubar runs.
