The battle started in utter chaos, as Astaroth lunged into the oncoming enemies. Phoenix had planned that if they were ambushed, he would be their best bet at reducing pressure on them, since he could act alone for a while.
Whenever he started getting low on health, he would double back to his allies, receiving heals from both I'die and Silent, and then run back away. This reduced the number of enemies assaulting Gulnur, reducing pressure on the group.
Since Phoenix had made I'die create barriers around them, the only way to the back or middle line was through Gulnur. He was a great tank and could handle pressure, but there was always a limit.
Astaroth's job was to take away as many enemies as he could. And it was going alright for now, but he had many brushes with death.
