Best Charm Combination for Sly?
Everything is in the title, I am stuck in the final boss of Third Pantheon.
Pantheon bosses are all fine but Sly keeps destroying me...

Mostly though, it's a matter of knowing how to deal with each of his attacks individually, and knowing when it's safe to attack. Like his slash combo, you can just walk away, then attack him after he falls from his spinning slash. Similar strategy applies to his 4 other attacks.

Watch a speedrun of someone fighting him, he's a really easy fight.

Thanks for the advice, I finally managed to beat him after some practice in the lower room... I had great trouble dodging consistently his Charged Attack (not the Dashed one, the immediate one). Other than that, his attacks are pretty much super-telegraphed, so I didn't have much trouble with the other moves... He looks kind of like NKG in a way, really fast but with "simple moves". I like him. :)

And now there's PV... Oh boy. I don't feel like doing a 40 minutes long Pantheon though so Absolute Radiance is a No No for me...

Pantheon 4 is the last one you need for % completion, but PV is a difficult fight to learn. Once you get it, it will click and make sense, but it might take a while getting there. Take a break and savour beating P3. Have you completed everything else there is to do outside of Pantheons? Anyway, once you get P4 done and you're consistent with PV, you could at least *get to* the end of P5 so you can have AbsRad's statue from reaching her without winning.

with Pure vessel when he does his melle attacks pogo on him and hit him from behind when he does his focus attack spam your spells at him to deal some dmg when he does his void attack try to get away/on him the rest just try to dodge using your shadow dash
