Dude, he is ridiculously strong. No one is going to beat him on the first try, especially on Maniac mode, or normal mode like I did finally, after 3+ tries. Since he regenerates his heads at too fast a rate to even begin to counter.
You'd either have to try multiple times after leaving the mansion and having the Witch there join you, or you have to grind to about 45 somehow with all characters.
There's simply no way to beat him easily. Period.
Unless he's not supposed to regenerate all of his heads at the exact same time. once every turn.
Because that's what he did every single turn every time without fail except twice, in all the times I fought him.
That means, at a bare minimum, you have to do enough damage to kill all heads at the same time, to make that fight easy.
He has around 1000 health per head, bleeding is about the only way to do anything besides powerful physical attacks.
Xenia helped a lot, but still, Warrior's blessing is only helpful before the heads die. Otherwise you have to cast it all the time.
All status ailments that work are helpful, but they are not super helpful.
My original post was a rant about how overpowered he was, but while writing it, I gave the Hunter one more try, and he died finally.
