Is Phase 2 Malenia harder?

Her phase 2 is nothing compared to her phase 1 and can be breezed through due to massive openings and 0 poise. I beat her without using a meta build and without using any summons and still don't think she comes close to Midir, Gael or nameless on a first time playthrough.
