Advice for Mohg?

[Tasty Prey]

So, I've kind of noticed this fu­cker spams a lot. Any advice that isn't "git gud" or something.
I genuinely want to be able to handle the bossfight better but he just kind of sucks and I don't feel that he's overly fun to fight, but there's a very likely chance I'm doing something wrong. I also wouldn't be shocked if he was just a sh­it to fight unless you respec completely.
But yeah, actual advice is very much welcome.

If you're okay with spirit summons, getting Carmaan from the beginning of Volcano Manor will help a lot (he's good at evasion, can heal himself and inflict poison - he's not doing a lot of damage but he's the best summon in the game in terms of distracting a boss... and since Mohg basically only has single-target attacks him hitting someone else half the time will make things much more manageable)

There's a crystal tear available in one of the churches in Altus Plateau that lets you ignore Mohg's unavoidable damage countdown attack. (part of Yura's questline)

Mohg is weak to all status ailments so picking up the Pulley Crossbow at the demihuman settlement in Mt Gelmir and then stocking up on frostbone bolts and bleedbone bolts lets you do some serious indirect damage, especially useful in phase 2 where getting near him is very unpleasant.

He s weak to blood

[Imperator Ricardo]

Mohg is weak to blood loss, and can be affected with frost, poison and scarlet rot aswell.
Even a non-bleed build using a weapon with innate bleed build-up will be proving quite useful.
During the Phase 2 transition, he will stand still. If you have the drank your Physick with the Purifying Crystal Tear, you can stand behind him to his left side and unleash hell. Damage done mostly depends on whether you can proc blood loss or not, but any bit helps, especially since he recovers health during his transition.

If Mohg is still in phase 1, you can also use Mohgs' Shackle twice. You can find it at the bottom of the Subterranean Shunning Grounds, in the section with the Giant Lobsters.
If you time it right, you can even use it right before he attempts to phase transition, buying you a lot of extra time to deliver the pain.

Phase 2 is a game of patience. Be careful not to walk into the bloodflame puddles, and wait for an opening. He has a lot of follow-ups now, but he will eventually leave gaps to sneak a few hits into, the amount depending on your weapon of choice. This is easier if you manage to poison and/or scarlet rot him by any means.

This is the basics. I can elaborate further, with more in-depth information on what other builds can use to beat Mohg more easily, if so desired.

Purifying tear essential

I forgot to mention I'm a White Phantom I think. But he still sucks. He makes the arena actually impossible to exist in whenever I've fought him. Probably sh­it RNG or he spams but it's like every other attack covers the area under, around, above and on top of me in fu­cking bloodflame.

If you're willing to really cheese things, heavy build bleed + mimic tear can kill him before the phase transition.

[Knavenformed]

The bloodflame pools he starts to stack up do definitely get a bit random in the fight
You kinda can't find a good playstyle against him as you can end up just blocked by chip damage

[Player Zer01]

use bleed on him, kamehameha, or meteor. he folds very fast.
