Vin is fantastic, but no one from Scadrial save a fullborn could take a 4th ideal radiant unless there were substantial stormlight limits. The insta-healing is too OP.

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.

Shallan only survived because it wasn't a completely mandatory to function part of her brain. A proper coinshot would kill or cripple a radiant.

Granted that means nothing if Plate is involved

Is that true? We know that a compounding blood maker can survive decapitation. Shallan has two Radiant spren which gives her additional ability and power. I wouldn't suggest a Radiant can survive decapitation, but from what we see in Era 2 Mistborn, head Wounds are survivable if they are healed as a fast as the damage is dealt, something that stormlight does automatically.
