MELEE USERS
In the first phase, you will have to be the aggressor, and hit and run tactics work best here. In the battle with this opponent, the player will have to constantly keep his distance and dodge sweeping blows. The enemy is very fast, often launching blizzards and frosty currents at the player. Be careful of his breath attack and dodge to the side to avoid it, and attack if you can run up to him while he is still in animation.
In the second phase, you will have to play defensively, lure his attacks, and then attack as soon as his combos are over. You may need to dodge a few times in a row and then retreat to avoid any area attacks he can land.
MAGIC AND FAR USERS
He can be hard to hit in phase I because he dodges projectiles. Try using something like Glintstone Phalanx or Ashes of War: Glintstone Arch if you can, they will also come in very handy in stage II anyway.
In the second phase, use any of these spells to punish his attacks as he approaches. If you're playing an archer, dodge and shoot, or jump and shoot with the same movement. Keep retreating, keeping your distance.
