I'd say summon an NPC or another player if you can. If you HAVE to solo her then I'd say the best method is:
Attack twice then roll away from the Boss.
Around attack 3-4 she will attack you or do her backstep/attack so limiting your attacks to 2 or using magic are really useful methods.
As for the limited light. Just block and use your lock on button until it locks on then wait for a chance to attack.

Ok. Thanks for the advice. I'm trying to be sparing with my effigies, but I'll use one today and try to summon someone

If you get summoned to another person's world as a white phantom and help them complete a task you'll be turned to human in your world. Which saves you an effigy.

Thanks, I didn't know that

Yeah if I can't solo a boss I usually put my sign near it later and help someone else to learn the bosses movements. If you die as a white phantom you don't lose the souls you aquired. It's a win win situation. Ivory King DLC the final boss when fighting as a white phantom nets me like 40K souls so I try to farm them when I want to max my titanite or level up quickly.

Nice! I'll definitely place my summon sign more often
