Radiance or Inferno?

[Heck]

Guessing one is for holy and the other fire
I normally just face roll these games with either pure str or dex but the hybrid damage looks busted so far

Radiance is holy Inferno is fire, yes.

I want to say at least 40% of your enemies (including some bosses) are resistant to inferno, so it's a hell of a lot tougher to blast enemies using inferno than it is with radiance...

I suspect late game inferno might be better, but early game radiance beats it by far...

I also recently got a weapon buff that casts with radiant catalyst that adds bleed damage. Guessing bleed is covered under radiant also? xD Not sure how they categorize them. There is also umbral...guessing wither and poison fall under that.

Both with Ring of Radiant Preeminence

Yes but there are also rings that allow you to cast magic with different catalysts if you want so it really does not matter which you chose.

Radiance is holy and bleed (all the thorn armor motifs)
Inferno is fire and poison, same as the souls series
Umbral is wither and cold/dread (the thing that causes your hp and stam to be halved)
In short all are good since they have two status effects so you always have some use to them. Not to mention buffs...

Ive basically been farting around the 1st few areas co-oping with people so I figured some people already figured this out

Radiant has a lot more options in the early game. Inferno starts off pretty meh with it taking awhile before you have a decent variety of spells. Also a lot of mobs just resist fire.

I'd personally recommend starting more radiant, and then you'll likely end up picking up some inferno later to try out different spells.

Despite higher resistance the inferno spells are more powerful

For example at 75 radiance with exacter catalyst +10 your radiant flare hits for 855 red numbers
At the same time 75 inferno with sophesia catalyst +10 your lava burst hits for 880 grey.

bleed and smite are radiant
fire is inferno
wither and poison are umbral

♥♥♥♥ radiance , ♥♥♥♥ inferno , Umbral FTW !

[lilgirlcharlotte]

umbral is kinda the most busted atm if you can go for 75/75 split. umbral has amulet that allows you to cast without mana. so basicly you be spamming magic 24/7.

exactly UMBRAL FTW !

[DickyDiscord]

Both, but it really depends on your playstyle. Like the Umbral spells and my primary weapons scale with either, or both.

more to the point Radiant is burst , inferno can burst but mostly apply defuff on target umbral is all about wither damage for the most part , so if you play safe , umbral is good , other wise , it's weaker than the two others
