The negation numbers are the % of your damage that gets blocked. For example, if a negation is 60, 40% of that damage by that type will go through and 60% will be negated. Bigger number = less damage. A negation of 100 means no damage goes through, and a negation of -100 mean the enemy takes 2x damage from that source. 0 means damage goes pretty much as is.

Poison: 1,481

Scarlet Rot: 1,481

Blood Loss: 420

Frostbite: 306

Sleep: 688

Madness: Immune

The resistance numbers are the buildup amount to trigger it. For example, if a resistance is 100 you must deal 100 points of the given buildup to trigger it. Note that these go down over time, and increase each time the effect procs. The values after the "/"s indicate the increased resistances after each successive proc.

Fight Strategy:

Phase two begins immediately after a cutscene wherein Malenia sprouts wings and gains access to an array of new attacks, in addition to most of her moveset from phase one. She also gains increased damage. She begins the phase with 80% of her maximum life and always opens with a diving attack immediately followed up with Scarlet Aeonia, a large AoE explosion which leaves a short-lived mist that applies scarlet rot. This phase is mostly similar to the first, except when she leaps she can now decide to: cast Waterfowl Dance (which now applies scarlet rot), cast Scarlet Aeonia, bombard you with scarlet rot butterflies that are in the shape of her (and can also both slice and stab you) or dive on you while triggering a scarlet rot explosion.
