Generally, if you climb immmediately, you can reach the head or the face-chest before Daimon starts using immmolation. If he does, you just jump and reingage. The following video demonstrates how. In it, I missed the first grapple because Daimon twirled unexpectedly. This delayed me so when I successfully grappled, Daimon executed immmolation before I got to the head. But he flares for only a second so a double jump over the immmolation is an effecctive counter. Needless to say, it would have been simpler if I hadn't missed the first jump. I would have made it to his head before immmolation: http://www.capcom-unity.com/allgorhythm/go/gallery/item/1537315?pref_tab=videos&type=video

Blast arrows are also effective, but you need a physical bow to shoot them. They diminish the health bar rapidly and deliver high knockdown and stagger interrupting Daimon's attacks. But the OP was a Magick Archer so I wanted to address techniques that vocation could use.
