Radahn's left-right swipe dodge issue

[ritzmax72]

I see people doing backstep dodge but I am unable to pull it.
Guess it works with only rapier? Anyone knows?

You must have the talisman that gives iframes to backstep.

Is this what people are using? There is a talisman like that?

For the people that are back stepping the walmart combo, yep. Theres a talisman you get someone that gives you all the crucible effects (iframes on backdodge, more iframes on roll, something about head shot or something) but you take more damage.

It is funny there is a game mechanics changing item. Are souls players happy with this?
You literally have to absolutely use a talisman to deal with a boss's attack. Are souls player not mad?

There's a ton of discussion on it on Reddit at the moment.

From what I'm seeing many people just equipped a shield and didn't even really have to engage with the fight, so they don't actually know the fight and remain sort of ignorant as to why the string is a poor one.

They patched this combo, you can late roll the first swing left and avoid the second then dodge the cross slash. Two roll combo. Has to be light roll. Have to go left.

Negative for me. I am fighting him right now and always getting hit by that combo.

Hmm yeah apparently you have to be at the left side of him to begin with. So if he runs up to you after creating space and opens with that combo it is still unavoidable. Sucks that such a good fight is ruined by rng.
