Try using dual heavy weapons (powerstancing great hammers, great axes, etc.), Hes not too hard to stagger and that what got me to beating him. Plus just learning his moveset from fighting him so many times will help
Try rolling into his attacks more instead of backwards too. Dont remember which side (right or left) is better to roll to though. Bc of his moveset theres a bit of a gap in the hitbox that helps you not get hit so much
Yeah, I'm finding heavy weapons seem to suit this fight a bit better! Might be towards his sword hand (whichever that one is, can't quite remember off the top of my head 😅) as it feels like you have slightly more space
I feel like you are dealing way too little damage for the point you are in the game. I'd reccomend going over your stats, upgrade level of your weapon, infusions and scaling and see if something is lacking there. Midra is a very high pressure fight, so making the fight long with suboptimal damage is gonna lead to decision fatigue. Combine that with how much damage you are taking, this could (as another commenter says) also be due to too little scadutree fragments. The max level of scadu blessing is 20 so if you are below 10 or around 12 it might be time to go hunting for some of those. You are also rocking some very scant armor, so chefk your equip load see if you cant wear something sturdier so you can make more mistakes and get more time to learn. If you cant, look for talismans that buff equip load or respec your stats at Renalla's to add some endurance. I'd say your reaction speed is on point, but learning the timings while so under leveled is gonna lead to the "slamming into a brick wall" feeling you are getting. Best of luck!
Yeah, because I have dotted my way through the game, my damage seems to fluctuate a lot as I've been going from mid game boss straight to end game boss and vice versa! I agree longing out the fight is not ideal for this one, one of the main reasons why I initially paused it. I'll take a look at all these bits, thank you for your comment as it's very helpful!
Might need some more scadutree fragments m8
