Abilities

Strategy

Before engaging VanCleef, players should defeat Captain Greenskin, who patrols the area where VanCleef is standing. VanCleef is initially accompanied by two level 19 - 20 Defias Blackguards.

When VanCleef's health drops below 50%, two additional level 19 - 20 blackguards spawn. Depending on the group's damage, ignoring the adds and just attacking VanCleef is a possible tactic to kill him. Stunning him in at this moment will stop him from summoning the additional blackguards.

Another method that works is standing on the cannon to the left, just before you would step into the area Captain Greenskin patrolled. Drawing VanCleef them to the cannon, then using a ranged attack while standing on top of it to distract the adds, causes the Blackguards to evade but remain incapacitated until the attacks stop.
