Tactics

There are six Tipplesome Patrons; three who are a stronger version of the common Redcap (no bandanna) and three who are a stronger version of the common Redcap Blood Sage (with bandanna). These redcaps have two main tactics: sages will give Bloodlust (Condition) to the multiattackers, and cause Bleeding (Condition) on enemies. Bloodlust allows the redcaps to use their multiattack, and Steeped in Slaughter gives them advantage against bleeding targets.
