Earlier encounter: summons and two actions
Quick Axe → Call for Help → Axe Charge → Axe Spin → Axe Strike → Hero Potion opens the solo encounter. Full enemy slots skip Call for Help to Axe Charge. He can summon a Redcliff Knight, Bugler or Archer. A summon action does not mean the rest of the enemy turn is harmless.
Watch the axe, not a healing animation
Quick Axe arrives very quickly after he approaches. Axe Charge follows two foot scrapes. Axe Strike has two hits separated by a charge. Hero Potion enchants the next attacks with Burn and Poison; it does not heal him.
Council version
