Fair response. My apologizes, I did not intend to offend.

As I said, the Carthus Bloodring is very useful in dodging the attacks in both phases, though many of the moves have similar startups.

I am not sure whether or not the piercing quality of crystal sorceries or the magic damage is what made them efficent, or perhaps it was both qualities, but whatever it was allowed for massive damage to the King of the Storm's head.

It is always better to be in front of the King of the Storm, as being behind or under it makes it more likely to fly into the air and use its fire, which I have never succesfully dodged.

Patience is what truely helped me defeat TNK, for his attacks only allowed me to get in a hit or two before dodging, and the range at which he will attack made casting sorceries a difficult thing as well.

On my non magical builds, high endurance and a very strong shield kept me from taking high damage from attacks that I was too slow to respond to, and I also whittled his health with a bow despite not meeting the qualifications.

If you can summon help you should try, but Hawkwood will not assist you, and will hinder you in response to your summoning.

Of status effect buildup I am uncertain of the usefulness, but keep in mind that the best poision is the unique spore poision of the Storyteller's Staff, which does damage based on max health.
