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.

His hitboxes are permanently fixed/nerfed. It was never reverted. It just sounds less impactful if it’s called fixed rather than nerfed.

"Nerfed" implies toning down something that was deemed excessive after player feedback (way too much damage, way too much HP, etc.)
"Fixed" implies... well, fixing something that was broken and did not work the way it should.

Two completely different things.

Kinda like when someone uses the term "I cheesed", when they just fought the boss normally instead of literally game breaking the fight (ex. Exiting and rejoining the game to break Loretta's AI so she just stands there and doesn't fight back, or crouching behind O'Niel and using poison gas - never activating the fight to begin with, or firing arrows over the walls of Castle Sol, killing Niall without ever having to set foot in the boss room... or even rune farming until your level 215 on your first run of the game and roflstomping all the bosses to oblivion with a +10 mimic tear. Looking at YOU Renalla).

Disclaimer: Most of the examples have more than likely been patched out since the initial launch days.

They fixed hitboxes by nerfing them. Now what?

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.

I feel the same way. On launch it took me like 8 hours to beat him. Any other attempt i have killed him in one attempt. Both on ng, and new characters. The exact same can be said for my brother who also fought him pre and post nerf.

They took away his horse, that was a big nerf

[C1REX]

I think having OP hitboxes is lore accurate for gravity infused arrows and swords.

[Fripposo]

idk, but i felt him pretty less agressive, at least on 1st phase, the last couple of days

Gotta consider personal experience, too. It took me 10 hours to beat Malenia my first time. Second time, I killed her in like two but only because I was playing as a nudist. Third, she was dead in maybe less than a dozen attempts.

♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ Agheel took me like three hours to beat my first run, but now I beat him senseless right out the gate with a base level club

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.

My knees weak arms are heavy, moms spaghetti, i'm crying already, finger but hole i'm ready.

He was not particularly strong pre nerf either, but what they did is they gutted his arrows.

Arrows used to be actually something player had to pay attention to, now it is just a background noise.

While this is borderline necroposting, the "nerf" didn't really affect melee gameplay
