Technical Breakdown
During Malenia’s second phase, she gains increased mobility and access to more devastating attacks. To evade her, maintain a considerable distance and prioritize dodging her phantom blades. These blades have a wide range but can be dodged with dedicated ground movement. Additionally, utilize the I-frames provided by your dodge to avoid her Waterfowl Dance, a perilous multi-hit combo, by dodging backward once the animation begins.
Performance Insights
Learning Malenia’s attack patterns and timing is crucial for survival. Time her attacks carefully and exploit the short window of opportunity between her combos. Utilize Bloodhound Step or Quick Step ashes of war to increase your mobility and evade her relentlessly. Additionally, consider using the Mimic Tear Spirit Summon to create a distraction, allowing you to focus on dodging and attacking.
