Equip damaging items in your 2 other equipment slots to weaken the Jerk, then finish it off by blocking with the Spiked Shield.
Stage 12 is a good place to get this. It's an early level that starts with two Jerks on the board. To weaken the enemy, I recommend using the Vine Sword, Poison Arrow, or Poison Shield. I personally accomplished this with the Vine Sword.
