>>64179908Less damage but safer from what I've seen. Personally haven't done it, but I've seen a good few people slowly but surely kill him doing that tactic over the years, some of which was because they thought you would be able to cut his tail off like you could for enemies in 1.
>>64179935Feels a bit cheesy to me since a lot of his moveset is largely avoided doing it, but I guess that's true.
Also Midir doesn't have any instant kill moves I think, just does a ton of damage is all. Now Ancient Dragon from DS2 does have programmed kill moves like the tail slam and maybe the flying fire breath.
>>64180118To this day I have no idea how I see people say they struggled more on Mohg or Maliketh than Malenia. I beat Maliketh on my first try on my first playthrough of ER and Mohg I think was within 3.
