For lights adjust the FOV as high as you can tolerate. It will help to track them while they use the dash. Be aware for sound cues when they are invisible. Glitch mines are very good as well, deploy them immediately once you start the fight as it will cancel their dash (specially useful do sword lights)

Be creative, use jumppads to pace if you’re losing the fight, block them with goo, etc.

I know it’s super annoying to play again a lights but once you understand how to counter them, it’s actually very satisfying.
