The Enshrouded King slowly disables his weaknesses one by one as the fight goes on. Make sure to check them immediately so you can still break him efficiently during the fight. If you have a Scholar in your party, utilize the Analyze skill early.
The Enshrouded King is weak to swords which is Hikari's main weapon as a Warrior. Utilize the Warrior skill Aggressive Slash to quickly get rid of the boss' shield and EX Skill Brand's Blade to deal large amounts of damage when the boss is broken.
Because Hikari will be your best asset for this battle, utilize skills such as the Merchant's Donate BP or items such as Pomegranates to keep filling up his BP meter so every turn will be a big turn for him.

The enshrouded king doesn't "slowly disables his weaknesses one by one as the fight goes on". Every few turns he repicks 2/3/4 of his 6 weapons (depending on how low he is), and whichever weapon he picked has its weakness disabled.
