Is there a consistently safe way to open a Mancubus up for a Blood Punch?

[Wade]

Almost every time I get close to a Mancubus for a blood punch they do that shockwave move and take away a third of my health and armor.

I've tried shooting their arm cannons and getting them during their recoil animation but they do the move anyways.

I'm pretty sure I've also had them do it to me while being faltered, though maybe I was just too slow.

is there a way to circumvent this or is it just there to dissuade players from BloodPunching them?

Ice Grenade.

Usually drop a grenade near them is a guarantee stun on the Mancubas, then go in quick for the Blood Punch.

[Grampire]

Ice grenade = safest

Frag grenade = somewhat safe

Knocking out an arm cannon then dashing in = risky but can work if you retreat quickly after

Generally speaking you dont want to be very close to them for more than a few seconds as that's enough time for them to end you.

mm.. for me the best way to use blood punch on him is jump high and then when you are in top of him, use blood punch and he will not use his shockwave thing.

also if it is a Cyber mancubus then blood punch him and then shoot your super shotgun close and it will be a instant stagger.
