Check IconAttack From Range to Draw Aggro
Check IconStun From Range to Help Bernahl Land Hits

Attack From Range to Draw Aggro

Keep either Vargram or Wilhelm focused on you by firing spells/arrows/consumables at them while Bernahl deals damage to the other. If you are too passive they will both target Bernahl, and if he dies you will be outnumbered.

Stun From Range to Help Bernahl Land Hits

Stunning an enemy at the right time from range can allow Bernahl to land extra hits. When Vargram or Wilhelm is focused on your teammate, try firing a well-timed projectile to catch them off guard and extend Bernahl's combo.

Check IconHeal Punish

Make it a 2 vs. 1 and Go for the Sorcerer First

Although the sorcerer Wilhelm is less dangerous than Vargram, he can still deal considerable damage and cause you or Bernahl to get stunned into one of Vargram's harder-hitting attacks. Taking out Wilhelm first will make the fight go much smoother.

If you manage to take down Wilhelm while Bernahl is still alive, Vargram can easily be stun locked to death.

Backstab Enemies Targeting Bernahl

Any time you see either Vargram or Wilhelm targeting Bernahl, go for a free backstab if you can manage it. Not only will this help take down your targets, but it will also help keep Bernahl alive.

Heal Punish

If the enemy tries to heal, take advantage of this and go for a backstab if you are close enough to them. If not, a jump attack or Ash of War can also help to cancel out the HP the enemy just recovered.

Alternatively, you can use this chance to safely heal if the other target is distracted by Bernahl.
