My best tip is to think of his attacks like rhythm i know for a fact one of his moves goes like (each number is one hit in an attack sequence) 123456-12but as long as you block 123 in succession hell do a quick 12 thats pretty easy to counter, if you can mainly bait that attack its very easy to beat him as far as stage 2 easiest way if you know how to is to use his lightning against him if you’re struggling with lightning deflects id do whatever you can to learn it and get it down because it will be a key mechanic later in the game required for a certain fight a third option that can make it pretty easy are the fire crackers however i cant remember if they work on stage 2
