Can you manta dodge Laguna Blade?

I believe there's like a fraction of a second before it actually deals the damage?
From the wiki:
"Places a debuff on the target, which applies the damage upon expiring. The debuff lasts 0.25 seconds. This means the ability can be avoided by being invulnerable or hidden as the debuff expires."
I'm not fast enough to test it, but it could possibly.

I don't know how useful that info could be because the chances for that to happen are slim.

Im not sure but perhaps you can do manta blink from bh and chrono before you stop bieng hidden.

you can also dodge Lion Finger. I managed to save someone once as Shadow Demon by Banishing them as Finger was casting but before it actually dealt damage.

You could theoretically queue the Blink Dagger for after Manta dodge since Manta is instant cast time and doesn't have a cast backswing and Blink Dagger is also instant cast. However, that won't work vs a Black Hole or Chrono after they've formed because queuing the commands would require the Manta effect to fully complete before triggering the Blink, placing you briefly back into the map. You would need to use the Blink Dagger while still hidden by the Manta, overriding the duration of the effect in order to escape. Needless to say, that's an infinitesimally small window of time to work with. This becomes even less feasible if you're relying on a Blink skill rather than Blink Dagger, as those do have cast point and animations that need to be run through before the actual effect takes place.

Yup. Just like Laguna Blade, there's a delay for the damage
