This is part of new super aggressive strats I developed for the good boi Midir, based around doing apparent greed hits using Storm ruler's quick R2s speed allowing to slide bonus hits after a standard charged R2 punish on most his attacks, and double charged R2s on some other attacks. The negative stamina it leaves you as Midir is starting his next attack makes it a high risk but consistent strat as you can still recover enough stamina to roll just before his attack lands, as long as you have good stamina recovery buffs like chloranthy +3 or green blossoms.
This strategy outclasses thrust weapons like Gael's gs or the Profaned UGS as the meta weapons for +0 no buffs Midir on both base and max NG, Storm ruler now being the best choice for these kills. It also fundamentally changes the way Midir is fought with rolls compared to no roll, since there is an intensive use of both defensive and aggressive rolls to get into an attack and position next to his head for the punish throughout the fight. These new strat obviously don't apply to no roll kills for that reason.
