In combat Miles prefers to start with a 'Shield Bash', using his bonus action. He then follows this up with a main attack using his batten, hoping to get extra damage if the target has been knocked prone.
When cornered by multiple individuals, he will often use his 'Sweep' Progression ability to try and hit multiple targets.
If Miles is unable to close to combat range, he throw a Tear Gas Canister at the nearest assailant.
