RE: Elden Ring. That's gonna be a tough fight for melee. You'll probably want to use spirit summons for the second half of the fight. They can distract her while you roll to dodge her spells, then you can pick your time for a jumping power attack to break her poise. It's a real metaphor for Worcester politics if you think about it
With Rennala, it's all about knocking down the minions maintaining her shield. If you can take them down quick, you can get her into her second phase in a heartbeat and without taking damage. The longer you stay juggling the first phase, the less you'll have in reserve for the second. Playing a dex bruiser and found her to be the easiest of the great enemies thus far.
