I think it depends on how the Shard was Splintered and who Splintered it/fought it. It may also depend on the specific Shard’s Intent, because all of the Splinterings had different effects on the planets.

Honsetly, since WaT, I think that Szeth is somewhere in the top three of my favorites. I think his relationship with Nightblood and Kaladin is awesome by the end of WaT. I mostly agree with this. I don’t think the problem is with the POVs, but with the fact that Jasnah hasn’t progressed as a character when everyone else did. For example, Shallan goes through, to put it lightly, massive changes throughout the series, but from the point when Jasnah returned, she was still the exact same.

Considering that the Lord Ruler is an incredibly powerful Compounder, I think that the Lord Ruler’s emotional Allomancy could get through Shardplate. I think it also depends if the Plate is living or not, since I am pretty sure that living Plate is more Invested than dead Plate. Maybe how many oaths the Radiant has sworn also matters, since every oath strengthens the Connection between Spren and Radiant, increasing the Radiant’s overall power.
