I find blocking to be marginally useful on bosses with big combo strings. You will save yourself one or two hits but also the attacks will shred your stamina and probably break your guard. Also, like Margit his phase 2 attacks are part magic (holy?) and deal a significant amount of chip damage.

I did finally find the Uchi though and had enough stones to get it to +6. Been using the magic crystal sword so far which I've also upgraded a few times by now. But maybe I should swap to the Uchi - I hear bleed is strong.
