Malenia waterfall dance question

[TERRØR♕]

Hi, so ive been practising Malenia latly and i have a question about waterfall dance. I know there is a way to dodge when it starts and you are at close range , i know there is a way to dodge it when you are at far range but is there a way to doge it completly at midium range?

Run away from the first hit, then dodge into her for the next 2 hits.

thats the problem , that is possible at high range , at medium range ( if you are a bit away from her) you cant run away from the first hit? or you can and im just failing?

The idea of a waterfall of rot just hit me

It's best to predict a Waterfowl dance will come after she creates a bit of distance to mid-range. Rather than moving in, move away, and just keep sprinting directly opposite of her. While close, you ought to be attacking and breaking through her attacks or at least just avoiding them. The only time to be close is then, so stick to mid- to close-range in order to react appropriately.

Otherwise, check videos for specific dead-angles, blind spots, and movement tech. Those are much better at conveying what to do

at a moderate distance you can run away, but if you are at almost close distance (still at mid but almost at close) you could tank it with a shield or use a secondary weapon with bloodhound step to run away and dodge the first hit.

Tip: it's possible to proc bleeds/cold while she is mid-air, and bleed procs stagger her out of the attack. I use Swarm of Flies to cause this

The easy way to deal with it, is to block the first multihit attack of it, then dodge the rest. Any basic shield can do that, even if you're two-handing, just use your weapon to block and take a bit of damage and then dodge the rest. Yes, she'll get a little bit of health back, but you won't have to worry about that move ever again

You can still run away, but if you don't have time then double roll away for first flurry, roll through the next two usually works for me.

yeah but with that strat , you get hit once or twice in her first attack of the waterfall right?

If you are at medium range start by running away and when shes just about to hit you hit the jump button, it helps you get further away faster than just running

You need to roll towards and through the first flurry, then the second will miss and you dodge the rest as usual.
