      Just got really annoyed that my usual Executioner's Greataxe with Prayerful Strike and the R2 kept missing Malenia because she dodged to the side, so I switched to Ordovis' Greatsword and the weapon Art hurts a lot. Used the Rotten Sword Insignia, Godfrey Icon, Shard of Alexander and Dragoncrest Greatshield Talisman.
      You can wait for Malenia to slowly approach you and charge up the weapon art and by the time it's fully charged, she'll either get hit by all the individual strikes or she'll try to dodge and still get hit by a couple of them.,
      During Phase 2, I opened up with a frost potion (to increase her damage taken) and had enough time to charge up a full weapon art before she finished her transition.

        I found this to be a great punishment in the second phase of the Malenia fight, when she just won't stop chasing after you.

          the stagger on this fully charged is actually absurd, usually stun a boss in 1 or 2 hits. i love this weapon art

            Charging doesn't just increase the power, it adds shockwaves; uncharged only has one, but fully charged has 3 in very rapid succession. It's very effective and stance breaking.

              Bruh this buff was VERY generous for this Greatsword. It’s one of my new favorite weapons/AoWs. This with the shard of Alexander can take chunks out of the side bosses health bar

                I've found that using this during critical hit windows deals more damage than a crit would. Especially useful on large enemies. Better for style points than anything else though!

                  Upsettlingly terrible. The wind up alone will clue anyone in to just casually stand a good 2 feet back. Nice way to get stabbed to death.

                    looks super flashy but with my faith build normal swinging and using crucible incantations does more damage
