World of Darkness Finale S27 Let's Play Dark Souls 3 Mage Edition
1The Soul of Cinder can be fairly difficult to learn to dodge, they delay their attacks frequently with quick strikes thrown in for good measure. In the first phase it rotates different styles, longsword, polearm, magic, and a quick sword stance.
As a magic user the worst for me is the polearm stance, it seems a lot harder to find a time to cast. Cinder is constantly chasing you with running attacks and it can get annoying if you're poor at dodging that particular strike like me.
The magic form is a double edged sword, you can get a lot of casts off, but if you're maximizing damage you're taking extra damage due to your dusk crown. If you're confident, keep it on, it helps raze LoC health bar down even faster.
As for the long sword and faster stance, it's about quick casts. GSA still is a major workhorse of a spell here, seeing as it's fairly easy to land and does a moderate amount of LoC health bar.
Phase 2 is very easy once you learn a few timings. If you can dodge his jump slash you're almost set. Beyond that it's about recognizing his combo and getting out of it. Whether that be behind it (I never tried it) or just backing up quickly. At the beginning of it, LoC noticeably winds up slowly so look for it. Also please note, you can easily hit LoC with a CSS, or soul stream if you time the cast during the big explosion.
