Tancred wields a staff and shield and can deal a number of holy attacks that can build up Bleed and Smite. He deals a number of standard melee attacks with his weapons, but his special attacks are usually large ranged attacks that involve projectiles, powerful beams, and AoE attacks. In between attacks, Tancred holds his guard and can Shield strafe, decreasing his movement capabilities while his shield is drawn. If you're within range, he will use most of his basic attacks such as his staff swings, thrusts, and shield bash while strafing. These melee attacks are usually swift and quick. As he lunges forward or strikes at you, you can actually also take the opportunity to dodge forward to get yourself in a position behind him. Make sure his combo is complete before you start to strike back and prepare for his next action. You can actually choose to block a lot of his incoming basic melee attacks and accept the Wither effect. Just make sure to regain your health eventually and strike him back soon after his sentence ends.
His larger holy attacks are more telegraphed and will take a brief moment to charge up starting with a unique animation that will give you time to react or reposition accordingly. As soon as he begins to charge up a holy attack, you can back away to give yourself more time and space to react to all of his AoE or ranged attacks. Descriptions for how each animation for the holy attacks can be found in the Attacks and Counters table.
The fight against Tancred is all about finding the right balance and looking for his patterns so you can dodge and blocks the right times, waiting for his combos too complete and being conservative with your attacks. Wait for these attack windows and you will be able to clear his Boss bar and prepare for phase 2. Phase two of this attack is done against Reinhold the Immured.
