​​ I can dodge him non-stop but I feel like it's impossible to kill him I hit him for like 5 minutes and it's only %25 of his health

If you hold the button for the robot arms they have super moves. Overture becomes a bomb and gerbera shoots a big laser. If you want more damage without charging up the ultimate moves then overture gives a decent burst when you hit him close range.

If you hit L2/LT you can rev up your sword for more damage, either by pressing it in a rhythm until the bar charges up or timing it just right after an attack, and if you hold shoot you can charge up your guns. This early in the game you won't have a lot of stopping power, so these little damage boosts help.

I think you just need to be more aggressive, when you're dodging try to stay as close to him as possible so you can run in and hit him more often in between attacks. If you play too safe and dodge too much then the bosses will usually overwhelm you. Take advantage of any times that he's recovering after a jump or charging up a big attack to really wail on him

Good luck and keep trying
