Voidling keeps getting flung bug

[DISCOCYCHO]

Me(merc) and my friend (Commando) has gotten god builds that can kill voidling fast but voidling just keeps getting flung by my dash and its so annoying. This fling bug has killed us 3 seperate times going against voidling not because we can't do the boss, but the fact that Voidling gets flung so high up in the sky we can't reach it and we're essentially doomed from the homing purple missiles thingy. This is so annoying is there a way to prevent this aside from not playing Mercenary/not using the utility dash? It's pretty vital so I can't just not use it.

Then don't make yourself so stupidly powerful that you can literally throw the alternate final boss off the map.

The 2nd and 3rd run to Voidling we weren't even any powerful at all, only the first run. we just wanted to speedrun because we were frustrated at this point. Yet Voidling still got flung. It's not about how powerful our builds have become, it's smthn with Merc's dash. I know there's a "tech" where you can dash into a boss (I think needs to be big/or flying) and you could either do massive damage or one-shot said boss, but I'm not even trying to do that(I don't want to just one-shot Voudling, it would be boring) and I actually suck at doing this "tech" (I always try to do it on many bosses) and I barely succeed it) yet it happens so easily with Voidling..

The bigger the enemy's hitbox, the easier it is to fling with merc's dash. Since voidling is the largest "flying" enemy in the game, it's naturally super easy to accidentally fling him. You're either gonna have to refrain from using the dash or just don't use it to deal damage. Maybe try just going in with eviscerate and use your dash to get out immediately after, or just use slicing winds if you have that unlocked. I've never even tried voidling with mercenary even though I play merc way more than everyone else; he just doesn't really seem like he was made for melee characters.

You can do a few things to reduce the odds of launching Voidling. Avoid focused assault, don't get too much movement speed, and if you use a dash skill to hit Voidling try to hit closer to the center.

In theory, you can also take focused assault, get an ungodly amount of movement speed, then angle yourself to dash through Voidling far from its center and send it flying into the ground with enough momentum for fall damage to kill it in one hit.

The physics bug used to happen more if merc wasn't sprinting before the dash or if the dash ended completely inside an enemy's hitbox, but now mobility skills are considered sprinting and the game handles a player inside an enemy hitbox differently. Now it's better to end a dash partially inside AND partially outside an enemy hitbox, which takes more skill or luck to pull off since failing this an ending completely inside the hitbox makes the technique less consistent than if you were to end a dash outside the hitbox after going through part of it.

So don't dash?

Use it to your advantage, if you fling him into the ground he'll take massive damage

Hmm. I always just used alternative abilities. But I can see how it would get annoying.
