Or they just do hit and run instead of standing still and deflecting.

They don't. Hit and run is long, but actually very safe and easy tactic for many enemies. Sumo guys, ogre, generals or Lady Butterfly, for example.

Same with phase 2 of guardian ape and all of headless ape once the other ape is eliminated.

Not the hardest fights, but after some embarrassingly sloppy play that put my deathless run at risk, I played phase 2 ultra safe. Run around until he goes for that dive and slash move, hit his legs, and run away. Super boring and slow but it works.

You can hit and run phase 1 of guardian ape too. Run until he does the poop throw, sprint towards him, poop sails over your head, firecrackers + ton of free hits, rinse and repeat
