Any good combos that you can suggest for that annoying fight?

Thanks.

They are vulnerable to spells at all times. Use a spell build set-up, Shaman Stone, Spell twister, Soul Catcher, Grubsong and then use long nail to help hit them to get more soul. WHen two or more are lined up shade soul them once or twice. When caught in a pinch use Descending Dark.

I used Unbreakable strenght, Quick slash, Sharp shadow, Dash master and Sprint master.

What the first guy said, except grubsong probably isn't that important. It'll double your damage, but the shots won't penetrate anymore, so you can't hit both guys at once with it, thus halving your total output back down. It's otherwise a super good charm though.

Quick attack can also help you get more soul, since it'll let you squeeze in three hits during openings where you'd normally only get two.

If you are having trouble with that, you could potentially try pairing Weaversong and Grubsong. The weavers will gain soul for you (even against bosses that normally don't give soul, like Failed Champion) and the weavers can hit the Watchers while they are rolling. Just a suggestion.
I haven't fought them in earnest just yet, but I feel they'll be like Failed Champion, where, if you CAN heal, it'll only be during obvious windows that are there with the original version.

I personally figure they're just mobile Elder Baldur with melee attacks they may hardly ever use, so I'd use a build designed around never using Soul, since they'll be super mobile.

Meaning Glowing Womb, Unbreakable Strength (since charm damage is based directly off of your nail damage), Grubsong, Weaversong.

Since I have bad memory on notch requirements and notch maximums, I then add any charm that'll help me, but I base it on: It cannot add to anything that delays your control or movement, even for a second. Meaning no spells, heals or even Thorns.
So Steady Body or Sprintmaster are my usual picks.

Reason I choose charms like that, is because I mainly dislike using spells, partly because I'm unsure of how much damage they do compared to say... MNail or Nail3 attacks.

Also I notice that Thorns, if you're not great at a fight and you take damage, it delaying you like 2-3 seconds in the fight, ends up also eating your Iframes after damage completely, so you will most likely take more damage.

Also, once you learn how to move around in a boss fight, you'll want as little impairment of control as you can get to get the most out of it.

But I mainly just use nail attacks only and have never tried the Spell builds, so I'm obviously biased.
