Instead roll toward her and immediately try to punish with a few hits. DO NOT block this attack or you may be guard broken. When you see her do a spinning jump she is about to let loose one of her kicks.Both are punishable, but you need to read her movements quick to decide which one she is preparing for (jump vs. From here she can extend the combo into a jumping slam or a delayed wide swing. I recommend just blocking the first three hits, then rolling toward her to avoid the fourth. When you see her long blade slide backwards up her hand she is about to do a short dash followed by a multi-hit combo.There is an opportunity to Guard Counter here, but I would advise against it due to the unpredictability or her combos. She will usually execute two to three wide swings in a row, then end with a jumping slam attack or sweeping kick that deals massive stamina damage on shield. Her basic sword attacks should just be avoided or blocked.When you do approach it is important to identify which of her attacks are easily punished, so here are some things to look out for: You can use this to your advantage any time you need to heal or rest for a second. She doesn't have any projectile attacks so if you never get close to her she will likely just slow walk towards you until you approach. First thing to note is that Malenia does not really zip across the battlefield very often. Just be sure you do NOT let Malenia turn her attention to Latenna or she will absolutely shred her. Another option is Latenna the Albinauric, who you can place on the edge of the boss arena and let her shoot from far out of attack range. The 2v1 attacks will keep her stun locked, maybe even leading to topple. If your summon gets caught up in one of her long combos it may do more harm than good. Using an Ash Summon in this fight is very tempting, but keep in mind she can lifesteal off of your summon the same way she can from you.
