guys, I think I found a way to beat this guys on ascended mode:

charms: strenght, mark of pride, deep focus, grubsong. You need a LOT of patience. Stay on the lower platforms (left or right, they are bigger than the upper) and wait for him to get close. In the meanwhile it's easy to dodge the swords, by walking or small jumping. When he gets close land one hit or two, ONLY if it's a SAFE hit, otherwise jump away and get to the other lower platform. During his shield-cyclone you have enough time to heal 6 hearts (with enough soul, of course). After 3 tries I managed to beat him. Now I must face him in the fifth pantheon. Let me know if you found this defensive build effective. I hope you'll find useful :)
