Well I did have only like, 3 attempts at him before the rotation brought Gladius so I don't really know how to fight them efficiently yet, maybe I'll change my mind when he's back.
But I dislike NPC fights in general in these games apart from Cainhurst Crow so I wouldn't bet on it. It just feels like the best way to fight them is just to mess with their AI or AOW spamming, which I don't find very fun
