Help with Fume Knight?

[NeutronVortex]

First time fighting him. This guy is really tough, much more-so than I expected. I've gotten his health down until he powers up, but then he always end's me quick. >.<

General tips and tricks would be welcome if you're not in my SM range.

Adaptability is important for this fight because you need to do lots of rolling. Have as high Adaptability as you can, preferably at least 15 Adaptability. Get in at most one hit, and roll away. This is a fight against patience because you want to wait for the opportunity to attack.

Use any elemental buff to fight Fume Knight, except for fire because the boss is highly resistant to fire. When in doubt, buff your weapon with Gold Pine Resin or Dark Pine Resin. Use a fast weapon such as a rapier or mace. The Rapier+10 or Raw Homunculus Mace+10 is recommended. A mace can cause the boss to stagger for a brief moment, giving you some time to get in one or two extra hits. Don't depend on staggering Fume Knight because during the entirety of the fight, the Homunculus Mace would most likely stagger the boss once.

Phase two is the easier of both phases of the fight. During phase two, back away from the boss and bait the delayed, slow horizontal swing that is accompanied by a ringing audio cue. Roll to your left through the swing, position your character behind the boss, and get in one hit. Look for the forward running thrust attack. Roll to your left through the attack, position your character behind the boss, and get in one hit. Roll away from other slash and thrust attacks.

Thx for the gold pine resin tip, I always forget about resins. It helps but not enough. I don't think I can beat this guy.
