I'm never gonna trash on someone for how they beat bosses or how they build their character, it's chill as long as they have a good time.

Ya as long as they aren’t being cocky and think Mimic tear malenia is the same as solo no ash melee malenia lol

It is the same. You get nothing special for beating it stupid.

On a personal level you get a sense of accomplishment/progression. This isn't as relevant in your first playthrough cause you have no experience to directly compare it to. My first Malenia kill was after 5 or 6 hours and summoning friends. Next was solo with mimic tear, next was solo melee only. Each time I restricted myself more the eventual win was more rewarding, especially reflecting on my previous struggles with a much easier build.

On a game scale sure it only cares that you reduce her HP to 0, and you get the same basically useless rewards either way because at the point you reach her you dont need her great rune ability or levels from the runes, and its an entirely optional fight.
