It's been a while since I played it, there's a lot of enemy movement pattern memorization to avoid damage. My personal favorite weapons are the uh... onyx? ones or whatever that have damage that scale with your combo, I think I generally liked the broadsword, though the crossbow was pretty OP late game iirc due to its ability to break shields.

Another tip for using items/spells I believe I changed the controls for those to be like Q/E/F/R so you don't have to mess around trying to hit stupid button combos to use them, helped immensely.

Over time once you unlock all of the items you'll be able to figure out what's worth leaving in the pool and what's not worth it, it's the sort of game that just requires a lot of practice. I also wouldn't recommend learning the game with Bard, I think he's the only character that lets you play to your own beat, so you're kind of setting yourself up for frustration if you go to try other characters out later on.
