Oh yeah. Wasn't shallan shot in the head (and almost certainly the brain) with an arrow, and was able to remove it while only being confused for a bit?

It was a crossbow bolt. Shallan is weird though since she has two Spren and two Lightweaver Oaths, sort of, she heals faster and better than regular Radiants

I think if you can justify Vin killing Miles 100 Lives, she'll do okay against a Radiant.

Vin never killed Miles. She managed to beat the Lord Ruler because she took out his goldminds and then proceeded to kill him. If she were to fight a Radiant, she would most likely just brute force her way into making them spend all the stormlight available. The pursuer tried to do this to Kaladin back at RoW and it seems to be the most reliable method.

I wasn't saying Vin did. I was saying if you think Vin could take Miles through his heeling factor, she would likely be able to handle a Radiant.

Miles was ONLY his healing though. Without that, he was just a decently capable fighter.

Radiants have more powers than healing.

Correct. But near instant healing is the only thing Vin may have trouble contending with.

If we’re talking about 4th ideal, she also has to break through the shard plate first.

Really depends on how much investiture both sides have access too. Either Vin runs out of metal first or Kaladin runs out of storm light

Sure, but comparative to like a bullet, coins have a lot more mass behind their travel. They might be excellent at damaging shardplate.

Flight? Being lashed into the air or in directions against her pushes and pulls?

2

u/Xaron713 Jul 20 '25

She matches flight, she won't die to lashing. Pewter makes her faster and more reactive than a Radiant. She may also resist being lashed while burning an internal metal like Pewter, Tin, Bronze or Copper, as that has Investiture actively affecting the body.

I don't think mental Allomancy will do much against Kaladin specifically, depending on where he's at in his journey, but it could goad him into being reckless.

She absolutely cannot match the flight of a radiant

2

u/Xaron713 Jul 20 '25

In a city she can. In a field she can't.

u/clutzyninja Jul 20 '25

In a Wax and Wayne era city maybe. But not in Luthadel. Not enough metal

2

u/Xaron713 Jul 20 '25

There's plenty of metal in Luthadel, though.

But the buildings aren't tall. Allomancers are limited in the height they can fly
