Midra needs more stance health

[i have 2026 vision fear me]

The guy's got easy and lengthy punish windows, whys his stance so poo poo.

Eh, he's a glass cannon. He's more effective against some builds, less against others.

Though considerably less than most other bosses. He's only strong against fire, but only by 40%, and has a higher poison and rot resistance. So unless you're doing one of those, you're perfectly fine. Even fire damage does well considering how many buffs fire damage has that's easily accessible.

Just find it silly since he's an easily punishable boss that doesn't have much movement like divine beast or messmer, yet they both have more stance, 120 compared to midra's 80.

Try fighting him as a ranged mage, hell any ranged build. It is hell. Midra is weak vs stance breaks with big weapons, just as Radahn is weak to shield pokes, Malenia to light roll/BHS etc.

This is the only playstyle that trivializes Midra tbh, even shield pokes will have a hard time on him.

I fought him in my last save as a mage with ancient rancor and icecrag, it wasn't that bad, but i mostly kept dying because i hate just running away and spamming spells as a playstyle so for whatever reason i kept doing stupid things, only thing you had to watch out for was the twirl dash he has, but that's god a clear start up, the other problematic attack is his laser though at a range you should easily strafe it.

Ranged combat against him is tough but occasional Storm Blade AoW hit is helpful to me.
He is also vulnerable to quick weapons like curved swords and rapiers.

[causality]

His fat girthy health bar makes up for it.

it's his punishment for having a stun status effect

he's the most balanced boss in the dlc, I'm glad they didn't go mental like they did with radahn and said ''just give this guy everything and the best poise in the entire game on top of it''

Eh, i'm having a blast with radahn. I took the time to learn his moveset pre-nerf and he's actually fun and it's alienating to see people hate him so much ngl.

I always route to Midra quite early on since he is fun, but he's just a push over most of the time unless you have the most nonoptimal build against him. He's akin to Morgott where he's a blast to fight (though i do still prefer Morgott) but be it low resistances, health or stance that they just get shat on.

Nah he's not a pushover he's simply well designed and fair, something that bosses like Radahn are lacking which is why so many people hated him.

There's a difference between having to play well to have a chance at winning and having to trial and error until you memorize the boss. Fromsoftware went too much into the second side with some bosses imo. Midra is just one of those more fair designs that they used to have.

Ranged mages can still destroy Midra... I'll say only this: moonveil (low stats requirement, absurd poise damage, good damage)... Throw a mimic tear if you want go overkill and voilà, Midra is no more

Played a dex build on my first runthrough, dude was such a joke I didn't even realize he had a second phase.

I meant ranged as in casting spells, not spamming AoW. If you have scadu and lvl 60+, every boss can be destroyed by any build, even Radahn. Under say lvl 60 or with 0 scadu the game can be hard, or if you only use a certain build like bow build or ranged caster or Idk.
