Malenia doesn't have a lot of poise, so Strength characters can often hit her several times in quick succession.If you're struggling to dodge a particular attack, try and block it with a good shield upgraded to endgame levels to avoid taking damage and healing a large chunk of her health. Using a shield to block attacks reduces the amount of healing she gets from hitting you.Note that Malenia's lifesteal is active in both phases of the battle. If you don't, you'll likely get hit a lot. You should always prioritize conserving stamina for dodging and being patient in this fight over trying to rapidly take her down with flurries of attacks. Malenia heals herself when she hits you, so dodging her attacks is crucial.
