Here's my playstyle:  Light armor, massive shield, high damage weapons, and magic. I've done fine all the way up till NG++++.

You can backstep all of the Sanctuary Guardians attacks, just hold up your shield and back away. All of his ranged/air attacks can be easily dodged, with the only real danger coming from the fact that the water conducts electricity.

You'll find that a lot of spells do very little damage to him, so high-tier spells are recommended or none at all. (this may have changed since I last played, who even knows?)
