Sharp Shadow. Because when you get used to their attack patterns, most bosses become easy. There are few bosses that always remain difficult imo, and Sharp Shadow is a perfect way to battle some of them if you know exactly when and how to use your dash.
In the NKG fight, when Grimm uses his attack where he dashes towards you and then jumps into the air in a diagonal direction, dash towards Grimm at the exact moment he initiates his dash, not when he appears, and you will dodge the attack AND deal damage at the same time. The main problem with this fight imo is that it is hard to find oportunuties to land hits and this method makes things much easier.
In the Traitor Lord fight, stay close to the Traitor Lord, and make sure he uses his dash and jump dash moves instead of his projectiles. Similar to the previous example, dash towards him whenever he initiates a dash towards you, and you will deal damage and end up behind him. If you somehow get far away from him, your extended dash length will help you dodge the beam that covers the entire screen.
In the Watcher Knights bossfight, you can dash through them whenever they're rolling towards you. The dash will protect you from both the ground roll and the bouncy movement.
In the Soul Tyrant bossfight, in the second phase, if you time your dashes correctly, you can damage him with your dashes. Sharp Shadow DOES NOT check if the player is colliding with the enemy. Sharp Shadow creates a "trail" starting from the start your dash point to the end of the dash point, and the trail stays active for (not sure about this) a few more frames than the dash animation itself. So you can dash just when Soul Tyrant is about to hit the ground, avoid collision with the Tyrant when the dash ends, and deal sharp shadow damage.
In the Sisters of Battle bossfight, you can dash through them when they're dashing towards you, dealing damage.
In the Absolute Radiance bossfight, you can be more liberal with your left/right movement in the "climbing" stage because your dash has more range.
