In what ways was Radahn nerfed?

[Amins]

I never got to play pre-nerf, but I'm always hearing that Radahn was nerfed way too hard. I personally think he's an appropriate challenge for where he is. But how much harder can he be? More health? Different move set? Higher resistances and immunities? Because, he admittedly crumbles against a bleed build.

No idea, I never struggled with him at release

The folks who still say that don't read the patch notes or have serious reading comprehension issues.

In an old patch, Radahn was accidentally nerfed while FromSoft was fixing his broken hitboxes. This accidental nerf reduced the damage he dealt pretty significantly. He was un-nerfed in the subsequent patch while keeping his fixed hitboxes.

That makes more sense now. And it was probably only a thing for like two days, huh?

Eh, more like a week, iirc.

Well, first they made him about 7000% smaller. He used to take up the entire arena. Then they made it so he actually has to attack to do damage. Before, you'd walk through the fog and just die straight away. Finally, God pointed his finger and said "let there be roll," and he gave you the ability to negate all damage. Radahn is just too ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ easy now bad design i want refund my shirt is wet not from sweat but from tears o you don't have the right try finger but hole.

I cri every rime

I see patchnotes but I was struggling really badly against him on release when he felt so easy since the nerfs.

Even if it’s just hitboxes it can make a massive difference if you can’t simply dodge his attacks or avoid his nuke that insta kill any build.

Torrent was always usable on the field, right? Couldn't you just run out of the way of the nuke like you do now?

Same. On release Radahn would kick me around his arena, but that was also because I was completely oblivious to how Vigor worked.

Yeah, you could rot + use summons on him for some easy cheese. Rot back then procced a lot faster prior to its nerf. Using Torrent you could do drivebys, but you still stood a good chance of getting hit with a brokenly large hitbox.

lol This is a pretty accurate summary of the forum discussions at the time.

The people saying he got unnerfed are blindly reading patchnotes without actually playing the game. He was top 3 hardest bosses in the game at release, and he is absolute child's play now. His attacks do way less damage, and they may have nerfed his HP I can't be too sure.

Oh look, here's one now.

Honestly how I used to fight O'Neil before I realized I could just stand on the ground without getting rotted. Doing drivebys with my Golden Halberd.

In what ways was Radahn nerfed?

After we heroically defeated him, his soul was torn out of his corpse, shoved into his half-brothers polluted body, with a care-boy tumor growing out of the back of his neck.

They undid his nerf like a week after he was nerfed
