ELDEN RING: Bloodflame Reaper Build (Showing Malenia my Helicopter Impression)

For this build, I use the ash of war Spinning Strikes with the Grave Scythe while it is buffed by Bloodflame. This results in a strong bleed build that is both offensive and defensive at the same time. This build works best if you corner Malenia so she has no where else to go. I don't show it in this video, but it is possible to completely cancel Malenia's Phase 2 initial dive attack. Status build-up carries over into the next phase and Bloodflame at times popped bleed right at the beginning of Phase 2 causing her to get stunned out of her diving attack. For talismans, I have Alexander's Shard which increase ash of war damage since my damage comes from Spinning Strikes. I also have the Rotten Winged Insignia and Millicent's Prosthesis for successive hits damage buffs. Lastlty, I equip the Lord of Blood since I am doing a lot of bleed. For the ash of war Spinning Strikes, it is capable of many successive hits which works wells with the talismans I have equipped. Due to the 360 degree nature of this attack, it is very likely to stun enemies who get too close to you. There is also a light attack and heavy attack follow-up but those are not really as useful compared to just the constant spinning of your weapon. If you do use the follow-up attacks, it is best to do them when you have built up max successive hit stacks to deal the most amount of damage in a single strike.
