here is the ultimate strat that you need.

stay on the ground as much as you can unless dodging, because if you jump around he'll do his undodgeble body slam anti air attack.

evry time hes about to do a ground attack/teleports to the ground you need to jump to anticipate the lunge attack.

if he lunges: pogo off him as hes dashing under you and then hit him on the side.

if he tripple slashes: shadow dash through him/ you can attempt to jump and parry his attack downwards, but its hard to do

if he uses daggers: shadow dash through them and then gat hits in. after this you need to immedietly jump, because if he uses triple slash you wont have the shadow dash ready, so you need to prepare for a downwards parry.

if he uses the sould pillars; dash or move out of the way, and move into a safe spot (this will take practise)

if he teleports above you: instanly dash away, this requires fast reaction.

If you hit his parry: shadow dash through him

when he uses the focus move:  get out of the way, and you can try to attempt to heal if you get lucky with the secondary bombs, or just move in and hit him twice if its safe.

if he uses void tendrils: you should have already jumped because he used a ground attack, so jump again and dash to get airtime and land after the tendrils have finished.

you can only heal in the stagger, and you can only heal once in the stagger.

so basically stay on the ground and jump as hes telegraphing any ground attack. hes not that hard, his two strongest moves are probably the triple slash and the soul pillars.
