Elden Ring - RL1 - Malenia - Wing of Astel

Описание: Really weird weapon. Took me a long time to get my head around it.

The R2 is a ranged attack, which triggers her ranged response, so if you use it from neutral she'll do all sorts of weird jinks and swerves, which makes the fight very unpredictable. However its pretty good at interrupting her triple dash, if you have the space to do it.

Unfortunately the charged R2 is a multi hit, which means she will sometimes block or backstep the second attack. And being a ranged attack, she will often follow up that backstep with a kick or backhand dash, which will hyperarmour through your recovery animation and hit you. So unfortunately the charged R2 is almost never safe to use in this fight, there's a low but meaningful chance you will just get instakilled using it. (You could tank it in a normal run though).

The AOW has a long pause before it detonates. This means she will be doing her next move when it hits her. If she's doing a move without hyperarmour you can pile on the hits, but if its a hyperarmour move, she'll be fighting while taking damage. This happens in this the second phase where she does WFD while the nebula attack goes off around her. This looks cool, but also makes it hard to see what's going on.

Overall, interesting, but not one I'm keen to try again.
