General Radahn has been nerfed to the ground.

[TheSpookyAce]

This patch destroyed this great boss. Arrows do no damage and don't track, health reduced(maybe?), and his swings do piss poor damage now. I think over nerfing is a problem that happens a lot during balance patches. Let's hope from revert some of these changes to make him at least somewhat challenging in the future.

Nerfs on Malenia are right, actually.

Only things i would nerf about her would be, she healing on 100% blocks and probably slightly alter her Waterflow Dance so it isnt such a nightmare to dodge without Bloodhound's Step.

I don't agree with this change in regards to Radahn's ranged abilities. I think they were perfectly fine, but his melee and AoE's made it really difficult to engage with melee at the stage of the game he's presented in (I haven't traversed Altus, but have killed Rennala for context). I always try to bring some form of range coverage, but with that damage 1-hitting me with modest VIT investment mixed with a heavy raiment, the fight clearly encouraged kiting with magic/ bows over melee while he gets distracted by your summons.

If anything, if the NPC summons hp bars are also nerfed to compensate Radahn's nerf, I don't think the melee nerf is a big issue and resolves people feeling inclined to respec in mage builds.

I got upset if I used more than 2 estus when Phantoming, using a shield and a hook claw to beat him.

The dude was super easy for melee.

The oneshot grab with no telegraph (70% of the times she does it without telegraph) should at least be fixed so it gets a tele.

She always does it actually, but its mostly the wings on her second phase that can partially hide it.

After fighting Melania, I will admit Radahn is NOT anywhere near as hard as what else is in this game.

No, she doesn't, especially in phase 1.

Weird, for me she always does it, if i do get grabbed by her, its usually a screw up from my part.

So they nerfed her too? I haven't been able to check.

Still not but they will. I can bet any sum on it.

I think she's not as bad as my first few fights on her (still haven't beaten her yet) but there is no way she should get full healing from hitting my freaking shield.

Are you ranged? If you are ranged she does. If you are melee, no, you get the oneshot with nothing to do about it since she does it instantly after poisebreak.

Melee, dagger user in fact, so im basically hugging her.

Then you're either lucky or there is a different trigger to it. But i can assure you that heavy shield + rapier gets no animation for the grab.

Are you ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ kidding me. I died to that rot bastard 50 times before beating him. I came so close to just giving up the game. I should have waited for the patch. Ughhhhh

I'm kinda positive that she will be nerfed in the future. We just need more people to get to her.

So happy I beat him prior. =D
No really though, guessing no one will get to do that ever again.

Also he drops to 1 rot breath now from what i can gather. Previously needed 2 casts i think but now its 1.
