To beat this guy, I had 9 masks, pure nail, all the movement/spell upgrades. My charms were Grubsong, for soul collection, unbreakable heart, for a little more health, unbreakable strength, for dps, quick slash, for dps, and fury of the fallen, for emergency DPS. Fragile Heart/Strength work just as well since you don't actually die and break the charms in dream battles. As for tactics to the fight itself, essentially you need to know how to read his moves. If he jumps away from you, he's going for the shockwave attack. Use Monarch Wings and dash/shadow dash to avoid it safely. If he doesn't jump away from you, and jumps up or towards you, he's going to try and smash you in the face. Shadow dash underneath him so you're on the side he won't hit. Besides that, the rocks are pretty easy to dodge, and if you've taken any damage, you can wait until he's staggered to heal 2 masks (best to heal to an odd number of masks for optimal use of fotf). After he's staggered, he'll go into a fit of rage and start rapidly smashing both sides of him. Go in to hit him once, and then go to the far side of the arena (either side), and get in a few shade souls using the soul you got from being hit (if you didn't get hit, good job, you don't really need the extra DPS), you can also hit the rocks at him for a little more damage. After that he'll once more revert to his leaping attacks. Rinse and repeat, and he'll be dead soon enough. Depending on how strong your dodging skills are, this might take a few attempts.
