@@FilianFanVideos You’re fighting her with way too much defense, it’s no fun when you can tank waterfowl dance;)) Ideally, she should be fought with the difficulty that she can kill you in two to three hits. That’s when it really starts getting funnnnnnnn.

@Zeke14602 ай бұрын
Deadass it isn’t. If you get hit by any of the individual 3 waterfowl barrages, you can still dodge the next 2 barrages. Meanwhile Rellana’s double moons will guaranteed kill you if the first one hits you. (Assuming you don’t have 80 vigor, the bull goat armor set, and all mitigation talismans at once. That MIGHT let you survive). And let’s not even get into Radahn’s upward slash. Or his light beam roll catches. Or his lightspeed meteor. Or his meteors + clone slashes. Or his arena wide explosions. Or his seemingly never-ending combos.

@Zeke1460 for real. And to be honest, for as much shit as people give Waterfowl, it's only that first flurry that you need to watch out for. You can dodge through the second one, Malenia tends to miss the third on her own, and she's stationary for the fourth. Not saying it won't take some practice to dodge, but it _is_ a remarkably fair attack compared to stuff you see in the DLC.
@someguy61522 ай бұрын
@@Zeke1460Honestly Radahn wasn't that bad, you want to get hit by the after image because they deal pitiful damage compared to the real one, the huge AoE is definitely BS, you need to run/roll as soon as he starts it otherwise your F-ed. The combos are pretty BS, but most of them don't "roll catch" you, usually only the last hit and the light beams from it. His comet is kinda lame, it always aims for the middle of the arena. Rellana feels a lot more aggressive compared to him, he has way more down time for you to heal and/or punish. On the topic of Radahn, it's kinda funny that his DLC armor is a straight downgrade from his base game armor in terms of stats

She gives you time to heal, and also doesn't hold attacks for long, she swings. Also the fact Filian did it with Bloodhounds Fang surprised me, although it can stagger her decently well. Why am I saying this? Is it to overinflate my ego by saying "It wasn't a real accomplishment :insert nerd emoji face here:, no. No it is not. Fight Unalloyed Malenia, for da memes.
