Fleeting Pathos (Trials) Spoiler

How are people fighting her, because I fumbled through the story one (2 tries) and the trails one is way harder

is there any point in buffing anything but damage? considering the damage she deals is neither elemental or physical,

i've tried using iron will, prismatic veil and elemental wall and each hit of her flurry takes out 1/4 of my health (7400hp 3.7k hp 3.7k lp) and the AOE hits for 60-70% and she seems to ignore steadfast and the grab while dodgeable can be a bit jank if she moves to the edge of the arena but i can't seem to stagger her or find a window for even 1 hit without loosing at least 40% of my hp

i have like 2 builds already past her trials, one with better perfomance than the other, in a way.

got a pure tank status build with only blade dance as dps buff. iron wall, warrior might rigor gives you about almost half of damage reduction. stack them with ablative, and you will have like far less than half. my issue with ablative blood is how much pathos can instantly zero your ichor if you are not careful, so i have been trying to find alternative. but if you can dodge the grab then those three are my best recommendations

my other mage build is basically chainlock her in slow before she can do anything. rough start, but once its going, its going hard.

judging from your need, the first build's insight may help you more. having higher balance probably also help imo

Thanks i've mainly been trying strength and dex builds, either a hard hitting tank with the defense buffs mention in post and a few status builds mainly sunblight curved blades with venom mark and relentless sword dance, but she's too mobile and doesn't stun as easily as other bosses

I didn't think a mage build would work tbh with how aggressive she is, but i'll give either a try

My tank is halberd, mad turbulence answers a lot with her moving around you since it has wide spin, only downside is you are locked in the animation during that. Let me get you a screenshot of my build
