Oh, dear... I did the fight 1 part logic (Escherion/Staff of Inversion's forum page provides relevant battle data), 1 part instinct with DmK. Combined with your current gear, no guarantees that you'll be able to endure the sting of esch's 2 starting moves even with a 200 END build (if I remember right, I used a 200 END/INT or DEX, can't recall properly, and 45 WIS, alongside a 200 PROT/MAG/FIT dragon on my winning run) as you're absolutely required to get your HP critical by his second action due to his HP inverter skill (the DmK set alone only provides 24 All resist, which might barely keep you alive). My starting moves were Dark Ritual Staff of Inversion, Spikes the same target (more specifically, I gambled by equipping Uragiri on turn 1 to offset my normally high All res. Not recommended. Don't try the same gimmick with Dropbear and Hidebehind gear). After that, pretty much DmK shenanigans to off the Staff ASAP, making sure that I don't KO it when Esch cues us he's charging (I do remember that I Void Barrier'd around that time). After that, blast esch ASAP as aggressively as possible, preparing the Favor-Inner finisher along the way. You might want to get Thorn Replica to slot its 5% bonus to crit multiplier and a few DMs for the Zard+ consumable that bolsters crit chance if you wish to replicate this feat. If not possible, try doing a formal post on the Battle Strategy thread in General Discussion.
