    How do we keep the player’s ranged attacks from being OP?

    “Input reading.”

    How do we challenge experienced players who know soulslike mechanics very well?

    “Input reading.”

    How do we – you’re just going to say input reading again, aren’t you?

    “… yes.”

    Malenia with a tower shield and spear was fun. She’s like “spin spin spin” and I’m like “no. And furthermore: counter poke”

    They might have nerfed her healing or something, because it doesn’t fill her health all the way back up like I expected

      Wait, that sounds hilarious. Very stupid but hilarious. Did you use this setup for your entire playthrough or just for Malenia?

        Most of the run. I used the antspur rapier for a lot of the game- good shield poke, rot, and accepts ashes. Usually do blood, but sometimes poison for double status build up.

        For malenia I used morghwyn’s huge blood spear.

        There’s probably other good poke weapons too, but this is what I’ve been using.

        It’s a fun play style. I’m just getting into the DLC with it. Worked really well on the divine beast dancing lion.
