Dedicated whip user needing advice

Hi everyone, ive posted here before when i just started my whip build in crux woods.

Last week i beat pontiff, also making my way to the profaned capitol. Ive also been pvping winning some matches and learning a lot about exploiting whip moves againt my opponents. I am able to imbune my whip with 4 different elements and continue to be v e r s a t i l e.

It has been an excellent journey so far. However i am stuck pvping faithfuls. Mainly because my opponents all use giant two handed swords and hyper armor.

Any tips on how i can whip these giant foes without being one shotted?
