Why are you able to almost perma stamina drain her in both forms?
The first stage of her is probably easier than most elite enemies, I am able to consistantly get almost 70-80% of her hp while she's out of stamina.
She's almost the last boss in the game, she should be way more challenging.

I feel like she makes up for it by being very punishing if you get caught in any of her atttacks

[Tensei]

I dont really think she does, her first form attacks are very simple (and the attack when she summons 2 walls even block her own projectiles so you can just stand outside and dont need to pay attantion to them). And even her second form lacks in comparison to others, she doesn't have any delaid attacks which make the early attempts in bosses so hard. Only "thread" is when she teleports 2-3 times and when she stabs you with her sicle which you can't block (and even this has 2 dmg parts and you can just dodge the 2nd one even if you are hit by the first one)

Idk, I found her pretty tough and generally wax elite enemies on the first try with no issue. I still have the final boss to go but of all the others, I was considering that she might be the hardest. Those sickle attacks hit at weird times and do a ton of stamina damage if you just block them so a lot of times I'd mistime a brink guard, get stamina broken, and then just die.

Maybe it's a weapon or strategy issue, idk.

For me she went down within 3 trys, and i`m not really a souls-like player, i can even farm her consistantly, the sickle attacks are easy for me if you switch between dodge and guard imo. And you usually have enough time to heal after she finishes one of her combos. And the brink guards are very easy in this fight. Maybe its because i play spear and can just obliterate her stam each time i brink guard. But most other bosses get hit by 1 charged heavy and then just dodge, while reese doesnt and i can 100 to 0 her stam.

I used greatsword and her first phase before she shields up is free but after the shield is up so doesn't let me just infinite punish. In phase 2 I don't get long punishes either.

I feel like I'm using a fairly OP strategy (phatom gauge spirit with a set that gives tons of spirit to spam to generate phantom gauge. I got off like 5 phantoms in the fight and just use the charged katana move which does about 18k 3 times each time) as well but I have heard people say spear is just OP so idk.

I think she took me about 10 tries. Roughly on par with the princess, crossbow guy, maluca, and viper. Those have been the toughest for me.

[Tensei]

I switched from dual-wield to spear at the spider. I had a my tough time with maluca and viper, both maybe took me about 30-40 trys. But all the other bosses usually took me up to 10 trys.
Tokka was one of the bosses that were suprisingly easy (for me) as well, took only 2 trys. Same goes for Hisma, I had more hopes for these kind of late game fights.
I still need to fight Ozma and i have heard he's very hard, so i`m looking forward to him.

But yeah, Spear truly seems strong, especially against bosses, just get a brink guard and go into moonlight stance and spam charged heavy attack, does some big dmg and insane stamina drain.
