You can do this without Relentless as well, but it is hard to maintain the speed to pull this off without it (or Adrenaline) due to the wait INI penalty. Frenzy also depends on being able to hit things to get value. You can Polearm (5AP) and Whip (4AP) on the same turn with QH, allowing you to throw Overwhelms around at range.
