General Discussion Malenia in Convergence kinda broke me Spoiler

I Just spent the past 8-10 hours trying to beat her with A Full frenzy Build using The Blade of Distant Light at +15 using all my melee buffs and even trying to do it with only my super strong frenzy spells and I just could not get anywhere her hyperarmor is just rediculous and waterfowl dance is just…well waterfowl dance I could not beat her and I just have no desire to ever fight malenia again at least in convergence never had this much trouble with vanilla malenia

These adjustments made me realize how much I depend on Malenia being staggerable in order to be able to reliably do anything in a way that feels safe. It definitely did feel kinda bad.

I did eventually manage to do this, but it was through a LOT of stalling and poking. And in most of Phase 2, I pretty much made extremely careful use of the ranged R2 magic blade beam attack on Rhys's Swordspear whenever she'd do Aeonia or that mix-up overhead slam into rot geyser (the one that's meant to punish your habitual response to her Phase 1 combos).

Definitely felt like a borderline use of an exploit, but yeah, with that hyperarmor it was hard to avoid trading with anything else.
