Malenia Killer

This build requires the Mimic Tear summon.

The strategy revolves around repeatedly triggering Frostbite on Malenia in Elden Ring.

A key mechanic makes this build extremely effective:
Fire damage resets the Frostbite status effect.

How it works

The build uses two Nagakiba katanas:

• Nagakiba (Cold infusion) with Chilling Mist
• Nagakiba (Fire infusion) with Flame Art / Fire damage

By using jump attacks, you quickly build up Frostbite.
Once Frostbite triggers, the fire damage immediately resets the Frost status, allowing you to proc Frostbite again almost instantly.

Because your Mimic Tear uses the same weapons and setup, both of you will constantly apply Frost and Fire at the same time.

Result

• Constant Frostbite procs
• Extremely high burst damage
• Malenia can be staggered or even stunlocked repeatedly

With good timing on jump attacks, this setup can make the fight significantly easier.
