Let me give you an overview of what you're up against with raphael in honor mode, since this version cranks things up quite a bit. The fight revolves around these soul pillars that really change how the whole encounter plays out, and you'll notice right away that he gets extra actions based on how many pillars are still standing. Something interesting to keep in mind is that he can summon those eternal debtors basically whenever he wants, and those hellfire charges pack a serious punch with 20d6 damage that can really mess up your positioning.

The real challenge comes from managing those pillars because each one standing gives him better stats and more dangerous attacks. You'll want to focus them down but be smart about it since every destroyed pillar feeds into his ascended form which honestly hits like a truck with that hellfire inferno. Keep in mind that traditional crowd control stuff isn't gonna work as well here, and he's got some nasty tricks like that soul wrench that can stun you if you try hitting him with radiant damage.

Tip for staying alive - make sure you're bringing force damage dealers if you've got them and don't forget about hope's divine intervention which can be a real lifesaver. The whole fight becomes this interesting dance of managing the pillars, dealing with adds and watching out for those extra actions he gets each round. Just remember that the more pillars you take down the more desperate and dangerous he becomes so time those destructions carefully.
