Oli is introduced and force-deployed here. He's an interesting unit- his stats are poor but he's a raider with a ranged attack, and he is in fact the only ranged unit in the Ravens caravan. His special Axe Storm does strength-based damage and can hit multiple times, but the chances of doing so aren't great- he only averages about 2 hits with the level 2 version and still less than 3 hits with the level 3 version, and he can always flub and do 0 damage. With his poor stats this is mostly useful for chip damage on high armor targets; his poor stats also make him fairly hard to level up, he's only joining at level 3 when all the Ravens I'm using now are level 5 or above besides Folka.

Ultimately I use Oli for all of BS2, but he's for sure an investment unit and I'm not convinced he has a great return on that investment. If I were to do things again I might train up a different unit instead.

Not too much to say about the map but notice how easy it is to setup the Cull the Weak chain here- BS naturally encourages you to cripple units and leave them low enough for Bolverk to breeze through. He's going to get almost all the kills if you let him, it can make it tough to train other units.
