How'd you beat Miquella's followers?

[Fried Noodles]

I sided with Leda both times during her quest and killed both Hornsent and Ansbach(sp?).

As far as I'm aware, I've completed all content from the DLC up to this point.

I have Thiollier and some random Sanguine Noble man as summonable allies.

I tried fighting the NPC squad by myself and did not have much success.
Then I decided to bring in the +10 Anna and Shelly (or whatever their names are -- a pair of summons from the DLC from the Cathedral questline!)

I figured that summoning both NPC allies and using a spirit ash would just turn the encounter into a cakewalk.

But my spirit summons were weak!
By phantom allies were also weak.


So I haven't beaten them yet.


I tried a few gimmicky strategies, like using Spinning Strikes on a halberd, or using the bear claws with loads of bonus Stamina. But both Moore and Freyja can just poise through my consecutive attacks with their shields.

I've heard that the Jolan and Anna summon is currently bugged to do next to no actual damage, even compared to solo Jolan. So you're better off swapping the summoning ash back to solo Jolan or try a different spirit ash altogether. I just used mimic, but it hardly matters what so long as they survive long enough to be a distraction.

Personally I had no trouble with the fight, lost my first run because I tried focusing down Moore instead of ignoring him and taking out the ones that can actually do damage first. The man will never stagger, his armor natively gives more than 100 poise and he has enough DR to keep you distracted while the others flank you. Fortunately, he also barely does damage and can be mostly ignored while you focus down Freyja and Dryleaf. Should be able to down one of them and have the other half-way by time Leda spawns in.

Simple enemy prioritization. No healers in this game, so down whoever can do the most damage to you the fastest.

Summon the mimic. It's a gank fight so it's just fair play.
Use colossal weapons because they stagger the hell out of human enemies.

Pretty simple strat. Should get you through the fight quickly

I sided with Ansbach and had him as a summon instead of the Sanguine Noble. Him alongside Thiollier were my allies. Summoned them both and my Mimic. Bursted down Freyja and split the remaining aggro from Leda, Moore, Hornsent, and Dane between the 4 of us.

The quicker you can take them down, the easier it'll be. Anything that destroys human NPCs will trivialize this fight. As mentioned previously, Black Flame Tornado is a great pick.

Consider this confirmed, of course fully upgraded and blessed. Truth be told every single summon except the crystalian and mimic (they still need me healing them with Erdtree heal) performs awfully in NG+ max but the two sisters? Tested them VS a camp of Messmer goons (mainly soldiers and dogs) and Rellana....the sisters died inmediatly and did like no damage at all....just pathetic (or buged).
