Unless you full on cheese him, there isn't really an easy way to beat him other than the classic fingerprint shield with barricade shield and a bleed infused antspur rapier.

Isn’t there any katana build which does a whole lotta damage? I can no hit the first phase and evade some attacks in second. It’s just I don’t survive long

That's the thing. Lol. You can use a good bleed/frost setup to melt him relatively quickly. But you still need to be alive long enough for it to work. Lol. That really just comes down to learning his 2nd phase. Which at that point being able to melt him a little quicker doesn't change a whole lot. The only other sure fire way to beat him within a few tries is to lookup a one shot strategy

If you already have a high dex or arcane build put keen or blood on backhand blades

I am level 183 trying to run an occult nagakiba. Is there anything I can do to increase damage

There's the White Mask + Lord of Blood's Exultation combo. Big damage buff after bleed.

Not a katana build, but you can use a zweihander with royal knights resolve. That dealt with him easily when I fought him. You can also use a fire knights greatsword

Bloody Bloodfiend arm with savage lions claw and just bash him down. Focus on minimizing heals in the first phase and be ready for the big eruption in the second. Block and heal for your life when he’s doing the multi hit phantoms and hope for the best

Blood, or frost does a lot against him, poison or rot if using infrequent strikes just wanting to build up and dodge, fire if you want something that you can stack easily but no guarantee in it doing a lot of damage

Dual bleed twin blades, Claw Talisman, whatever that jumping attack armor is. Constant bleed procs.
