Edwin VanCleef

Ironclad Cove
Follow the docks to Mr. Smite at the boarding ramp before climbing the ship. Cookie is an optional lower-deck detour. Continue upward through Captain Greenskin, clearing his group before approaching Edwin VanCleef above. After VanCleef, leave through the passage behind the ship and meet Alba outside if you planted the forge explosives.
Edwin VanCleef
VanCleef's Allies brings new guards onto the upper deck while Thrash threatens the tank with extra attacks.
Abilities

VanCleef's Allies
The tank must catch the arriving guards; control the later wave while finishing VanCleef if the group can maintain control.

Thrash
Gives the caster 2 extra attacks.
Allow for extra melee attacks, especially while the tank is also handling the summoned guards.
Tank- Engage VanCleef only after Greenskin's group is cleared. Gather the initial guards and be ready to acquire the new ones summoned by VanCleef's Allies before they reach the healer.
Healer- Keep the tank stable through Thrash while watching the newly arriving guards. Call attention to a guard attacking you so the tank can collect it before another burst of melee attacks.
Damage- Kill VanCleef's initial guards first. Control the later guards while finishing VanCleef if the group can sustain that control; otherwise remove them before they overwhelm the tank. Avoid area damage that breaks the chosen control.
