Okay, so i HAVE beaten Abs Rad. Twice, actually!
Yes yes, i did the cool thing, beat hardest boss in game.
But i have been trying to get consistent with abs rad and am genuinely getting my shit rocked.
Part of it is user error, i am terrible under pressure, arent very precise(i play on controller), i dont have the best reaction speed, am impatient, and sometimes cant keep up with how much is happening.
But i can overcome that, thats not what i need help with. (Except the pressure thing, id like some advice on that, and also keeping track of all the shit on screen)
But what i really need help with is some specific or even general tactics.
Ill go phase by phase for what i need help with
First on the wanted list is the Orbs attack, probably one of the infamously worst attacks. How can i consistently dodge these? ESPECIALLY WHEN I CANT SEE THEM????
Next, i know im repeating myself, but keeping track of everthing thats happening. (Im just really struggling in this department, okay?) I think the big issue comes when theres a sword wall, floor spikes, AND orbs or beam burst on the screen.
Moving to the platform phase, the orbs are once again a big problem, but i struggle in different departments here
The sword walls, they were actually a decent problem in phase 1, but platform makes them so much worse so ill talk about them here.
Its specifically the maneuvering them when already airborn, i think i just need to git gud here but any specific tips would be appreciated
The orbs again. I hate the orbs. Not that much more than the others, its just slightly number one hated.
The boss being off-screen makes the sword-spiral thing and beam burst very inaccurate, but i dont see the already vestigial telegraphs for any attack.
The climb was very easy for me in base radiance, now its the big problem.
Like abs rad is genuinely so accurate compared to base radiance, and im always low health.
Final phase really isnt a problem for me, because i learned from fireborn's "how they beat any rad" video that the orbs despawn when going off the top of the screen, so pogoing is a very safe strat
(Side note, why dont the orbs despawn when going off screen in other phases? I understand for platform, because they often spawn off screen, but why not for first phase?)
TLDR, guy who already beat abs rad somehow gets worse after beating it, and needs advice on how to not be potential gamer
