From patch notes:

Fixed a bug that allows player to activate Erdtree Greatshields weapon skill without absorbing an attack using a special combination of item and incantation.

Fixed a bug which causes Fires Deadly Sin incantation to have different effect.https://www.bandainamcoent.com/news/elden-ring-patch-notes-v1-03?s=09

Looks like Ermine beat Malenia using a bug!

But then again...

- Decreased Ash of War, Hoarfrost Stomp's damage and increase cast time.
- Increased Ash of War, Bloody Slash's self-inflict damage while slightly lowering the damage and increasing the cast time.
- Decreased weapon skill, Sword of Night and Flames damage.

...so did pretty much everyone else.

And the greatest tragedy of all:

Decreased the damage of spirit summoned when using the item Mimic Tear Ash and changed the spirits behavior pattern.

Good night, sweet prince. It was good while it lasted. Glad I beat Malenia while the Mimic Tear was still OP!
