Impasse can deny Makoa a shot and/or kill on his anchor target if done fast enough. Hold down the skill button and release after Makoa throws the anchor, putting the wall between him & the target (this can also save you as well).
With the Aerial Assault legendary card, dodging Dragon Punch can be made trivial. Waiting for him to close in to a medium distance then using two charges to jump up and saving one for if he swerves back will save you most times.
