Use cover against Charged Shot and leave room to dodge sideways. Watch for Spirit Snare on the route toward him: its curse prevents attacks, ability casts and item use. Close the distance only when you have a safe route. Apply Serrated Knives from beside cover, and keep Slice and Dice for a route that lets you return to your partner. Reach cover before Bloodletting’s delayed damage leaves you low.
Use cover during Rain of Arrows instead of crossing open ground beneath Grey Talon. Listen for Guided Owl and move away from teammates so its explosion cannot hit several of you.
Deny Grey Talon a clear firing line on wounded allies. Move between cover and check for Spirit Snare before pursuing him after Rain of Arrows. Throw Serrated Knives from range. Use Killing Blow on Grey Talon when they are below its execution threshold and your team can support you.
