Better incantation/spell than Black flame blade for Radagon?
This thing lasts like 5 seconds and recasting it literally takes away precious time that I could be using to attack him in the windows or dodge away.

Each incantation that I cast for Black flame blade makes 1 more narrow window painfully wasted having to recast this weak thing just in order to try and even remotely do a little bit of damage.

depend on your build, personally i did him with catch flame. then the second form was boring as hell since i had to run after him non stop.

he is somewhat resistant to everything faith has i think, unless mistaken.

oh forgot about stone of gurraang. you could try that, it is pure physical.

If you explore enough you'll find spells like black flame fireball, and black flame related aoe bursts. None of the arts on the weapons are that great via life span of the buff if any at all. The others just trap you in easily avoidable close range animations.

isnt he resistant to lightning ?

if we only consider weapon enchantment, then none of them since they are all inferior to infusion.

maybe blood flame blade, but i would chose an infusion over that.

yea he is, but the other option would be the holy one which he is even more resistant against. Ive never used bloodflame blade, but it really might be the best option for incantation buffs. It last only 60 secs tho and hes immune to bleed, so something to keep in mind.

ah didn't know he was immune to bleed, haven't tried a bleed build on him yet.
gonna keep that in mind.

I was going to build faith a little so i can use all the blade spells this one convince me to just use grease. 7 sec. really?

enchant are mostly useful if your damage come from dex or str and you don't infuse a weapon with an element.

If you focus mostly on faith for dmg and all other stats are low, infusing with sacred or flame art will yield overall better result.

You normally can't put an enchantment or grease on a weapon that already has an element on it.

Radagon is highly resistant to holy damage.
Only moderately resistant to both lightning and magic damage
Weak to fire and strike damage.

Immune to bleed, madness, sleep, and death. Extremely resistant to poison, rot, and frostbite.

Probably very vulnerable to anything blackflame related, since they were literally created to kill gods.

Black Flame Tornado. It's surprisingly not a special/fixed skill, the weapon just comes with it and you can put it on something else if you'd like.
