Ranged Strategy
Starscourge Radahn Boss Tips |
---|
Ranged weapons will be extremely effective |
Don't fight him until you're able to re-summon your NPCs |
Ranged weapons will be very effective
Due to the sheer number of NPCs you can summon, a ranged strategy for this fight will be very strong. Your army can fight Radahn while you can stay back to launch your spells or arrows at him. This strategy will remain the same even in Phase 2.
Don't fight him until you're able to re-summon your NPCs
Your summoned allies will inevitably die from Radahn's attacks, making you his only target. It'll be difficult to fight him 1-on-1 with a ranged build so if you don't have decent melee weapons to fall back on, just ride around the boss arena on Torrent. Keep avoiding Radahn until you're able to re-summon your allies.
Melee Strategy
Starscourge Radahn Boss Tips |
---|
Don't attack Radahn until he targets your NPC Summons |
Always attack him from behind |
Don't attack Radahn until he targets your NPC Summons
Patience will be important with a melee strategy since Radahn can very easily rush and one-shot you. Don't get tempted into attacking him if he's targeting you, instead wait until his aggro is directed towards your Summons. That'll give you the chance to reposition accordingly.
Always attack him from behind
Attacking Radahn's front will spell certain death due to the myriad of moves he can use and the speed of each of them. It'll be hard to react in time to avoid these hits.
Attacking him from behind will allow you to get free hits off while he's busy fighting your summoned NPCs, and you'll have an easier time telegraphing his attacks and evading them.
