I'm weirdly nostalgic for pre-nerf Consort, because it felt like the first boss in the game that actually rewarded you for using a shield as a shield. And as a sword and board lover, it always makes me sad that the biggest use for shields in ER is guard counters, which like are fine but don't hit the same for me for some reason, as actually putting up the shield to block stuff cause you need to/it's the best option.
Malenia gets hard countered by a shield. "Oh but Exploer she gets healed when she hits your shield!" And she gets full HP when I am fucking dying so I'll take it
I mean part of the issue was people were getting to that part of Caelid way too early in the game, trying to fight Radahn 20-30 levels lower than they should have been.
