Looking for some HVs help

Is there any trick i can use to dodge some abilities?
Im trying to 8 mask it but im stuck with Umbris.
I know a trick as melee (idk if it works as ranged) but if you are fast enough to turn around and deliver hits you can completely ignore the eyes. They take almost 2 secs to drain you sanity so it is doable.

But umbris, can you LoS the polymorph or something? I cant interrupt 2 things, its either the missiles which drain sanity or the polymorph.

When she teleports away you can just stand in the alcove and use an orb. This also lets you get your interrupt cd back.

Dont kick the polymorph, you take way less sanity damage from walking into the puddles than the missiles.

Shaw’s eyes you just move forward, sidestep, and turn just enough to hit him at the edge of your frontal 180 degrees.

Umbric depends on class, if you have something to immune polymorph. On something like an evoker that has nothing, take your time during the intermission, there’s no rush to get up in his face. Let some cds recover and nuke him so that you only get missiles once.

If it’s totally unavoidable then you can also drop a recovery orb, you can take 8 million sanity damage while inside one and still be fine as long as you aren’t standing in something the moment it expires.

I’m really not the authority on this, as I’m just figuring it out, but I did one experimental run today, and my impression thus far is:

  • you can’t los any of the casts, at least not realistically. I don’t know if it’s technically possible, but even with heroic leap, I couldn’t get out of Los fast enough.

  • you should eat the poly and interrupt the missiles. In my case, I interrupted missiles and reflected poly, but then he just casted missiles again before my interrupt was up. Makes me think you’re supposed to eat the poly to buy time for your interrupt to recharge
