It's because spears are insanely quick and have high range. If you're in the range of his spear attack (i.e. not too close from him), then he will surely spams his annoying attacks. Therefore, using a long-range weapons that are slower than spears are a bad choice. Trying to block it also won't work all the time due to Block Breaker and No Block.

In order to counter Arkhos, you must stay very close to him at all time, since spears attacks will just pass through if you're too close. Use close-range weapons that will not turned into a bad weapon without double strikes. The only weapon that come to mind right now is Pneumo Fists, because its double slash and super slash sucks anyway, the reason people uses it is for the spinning slash. Even Monk's Katars suffer from No Double Strikes, because you can't trigger the enchantment on it without the super slash, regardless of how high the power is.
