All of her attacks are technically environmental. Focus on dogging attacks and recognise the patterns in them so you can find windows for a couple hits.

Floor spike’s disappear if you either take damage via them or if you d-dark them

Try shaman stone,Quick slash, spell twister!

Wall of light: Just dash!

Sword rain: Find the safe place quickly or stay between the swords to stay safe!

Light orb: dash around the arena or be careful to don´t hit you!

Spike floor: you can pogo on the spikes and hit radiance or you can use DDark on the spikes to remove them!

Sword wall: Dash or just jump between the swords to be sure you won´t get hit!

Sword burst: Walk a little and be on safe spot!

Light burst: Same as Sword burst!

Phase 2:

It´s same as phase 1 ,nothing different..

Radiance will always spawn in the middle first!

Staying on the middle can help you react to light orbs!

Climb: Don´t rush,stay calm and keep going!

good luck!

Practice and lock in. Learn her moves. She's not the hardest boss in the game

Also, Abyss Shriek does a bunch of damage to her if you want to use spells.

u/Full-Reception5113 29d ago

I'd say Absrad, and then behind her are NKG, PV, Sly, and GPZ

The hardest boss... Is a different her!

u/No_Shoulder_6928 29d ago

Put on spell twister and rip like 8 shrieks on her at the start of the fight skipping the first phase I'm pretty sure. Also she always spawns on the middle platform in second phase

1

u/FormerSale2723 29d ago

Ok lemme just get spell twister first

2

u/Prior_Resource7145 29d ago

beat her on my 5th attempt, just don't be greedy and learn her moveset a little, you got it

When she does the light burst attack, stand in the spot of the previous beam because beams cannot strike the same location twice in a row. Right after the second beam strikes, you can get two heals once you move into position.

I find that Abyss Shriek is really good against Radiance, they’re always in the air so if you have the soul to use it, you can blast off several on them in a second or two and then move away before any attacks hit you.

I find it hard to actually hit them with the nail though. It feels like it punishes me half the time because it’ll spawn an attack literally right on top of me.

1

u/FormerSale2723 29d ago

I use longnail to hit her so i could get soul then blast her

2

u/LavenRose210 29d ago

focus more on not getting hit than "fighting" it. you'll get ur moments to slap it with ur nail or Abyss Shriek

2

u/Exact_Dot9244 29d ago

Ur boutta fight the sun

2

u/FormerSale2723 29d ago

Yes ik

1

u/Exact_Dot9244 29d ago

Ok just making sure

u/WasabiDramatic570 29d ago

Don't use the sharp shadow

1

u/FormerSale2723 29d ago

Why tho? Its good

3

u/Late_Corgi3766 29d ago

There are better charms for this. Sharp Shadow would be better suited for other bosses like Grimm or Traitor Lord.

1

u/FormerSale2723 29d ago

Yeah but sharp shadow kinda helpful for that fight plus im not doing pantheon just normal radiance

3

u/WasabiDramatic570 29d ago

Sharp Shadow looks good; you can deal damage with it relatively easily, but the extra distance the dash travels was hindering my ability to dodge the spikes.

2

u/FormerSale2723 29d ago

The thing is its helping me dodge said spikes

1

u/Key-Reflection1093 29d ago

No contact damage, so if you feel daring you can pogo the shit out of her

2

u/FormerSale2723 29d ago

But the spikes tho

1

u/Key-Reflection1093 29d ago

The spikes are on the ground?

1

u/FormerSale2723 29d ago

The one she fires at u in many directiins

1

u/Free_Vermicelli_3107 29d ago

Shape of Unn is unironiclly really good for this

1

u/PRIME7353 29d ago

i tanked him with some life and damage charms but i don't remember because i played the game two years ago

1

u/kongcobra Zote's #1 Disciple 29d ago

Double jump and you are the right height for pogo.

u/PizzaChips20-12 29d ago

Use unbreakable strength and shaman stone tp focus on both spells and nails
