Evasion
Tips and Tricks
It is possible to predict the direction of the autododge buff the Gnat will give itself by looking at which wing the buff intent is displayed on. Any attack will activate autododge, including ones that deal no damage (i.e. Stun Shot); generally, it is best to use a low-energy attack first to use up the buff before moving in for the real attack.
It is often easier to use the Gnat’s autododge as a way to dodge its powerful attacks than it is to use up your own evade.
If you happen to have Grazer Beam, its near-miss damage will always activate when you trigger the enemy's autododge. This allows you to deal damage to this enemy much more easily, since you won't have to rely on being able to land a second hit after the dodge.
