Avoid a long close fight inside Aura of Suffering, whose damage increases while Victor channels it. Taking damage charges Pain Battery, so keep cover within reach. 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.
Attack an exposed enemy damage dealer if focusing Victor would leave that opponent free to shoot. If your team attacks Victor, stay outside Aura of Suffering and use healing reduction against Jumpstart. Keep Slice and Dice available for a route back to cover instead of using it only to close the distance.
When Victor takes lethal damage and Shocking Reanimation starts, move out of its explosion area. Keep your distance until he reanimates. After he reanimates, attack together with healing reduction if your team can finish him. Throw Serrated Knives from range. Use Killing Blow on Victor when they are below its execution threshold and your team can support you.
