VOG Atheon random selection. Not a big deal. Do work!

Everyone is complaining about Atheon picking random people to go back in time. All this means is a slight adjustment to your battle plan. To cover all the selection bases their needs to be 4 people that are comfortable with running the relic. It only takes 3 to 4 teleports to take him down. Having four designated will make sure that their is always someone to use the relic. You can even say that certain people have relic priority. The second the number one relic wielder doesn't get teleported the second guy picks it up. If communication doesn't work the third and fourth can pick it up if no one picks it up. I do encourage everyone to learn how to run the relic though. There are 4 separate parts in the raid that use the relic. All members need to have there oracle killers on in prep for being teleported. These weapons are beast maxed out anyways. Vision of Confluence is great at this and taking out those evil supplicants on the outside. Also help the relic carrier if with shots on the 3 hobgobs on Mars(left)(past)(red) or taking out the shield of the praetorian on venus(green)(future)(right). If everyone knows this after the first try or so this will go easily. Also time-team, when leaving the portals on Red turn left to make it to the middle platform if your group is using the cleanse shield technique and right out of green for the middle platform. If you end up on the outside you are a supplicant killing team. The jobs are still the same. Jump up on the pillar that summons the gate. One person on each. The third on the outside needs to assist in killing the supplicants. Take note: the supplicants spawn 3 at a time. They first go to the right side, and then to the left. The third guy could easily stay on the back spawn and shoot at the supps in the middle as they spawn. Ice Breaker is nice for this. The right weapons and grenades will down the supplicants quickly. Don't be afraid to use a rocket on all three. Stay alive! Adding all this together. If you are using the middle platform cleanse strategy. Everything is the same. All jump in to the middle. Have a titan drop weapons of light on the back corner. Dip in and unload. The shield carrier announces the time countdown. Now you can unload until the shield gets taken away. NEW part. This all depends on how fast Atheon stop shooting and freezes. All can stay on the middle platform unloading until the shield disappears and the 3 and teleported. Left and right portal opening people go to their spots and the guy can stay in the middle or back and shoot again. Small note- On hard mode there is a containment field for the people that don't get teleported. You must not jump and you must not be in a titan bubble when this goes up. You have to shoot to get out of it. 2 shoots of ice breaker will take care of it. The supplicants don't care about your shield and will kill you. The other option is that everyone leaves to the back at 5 seconds to evade Atheon's fire and stay alive. Shoot supps if they are near. The new time team will be teleported and the outside group breaks from the back to the side they call out. I like having people go to both sides to help cross-shot the supps as they spawn in. I say all this to give a strategy and to tell you there is only 3 real jobs on this part. The changes to Atheons selections for the time team are not a big deal. A little communication and Atheon will still be dead in a few rounds. Everyone should have maxed out weapons if they are doing the raid and the appropriate level. This is just one strategy. There are many ways to get the job done. This is just the adjustment for the one I use the most on hard or normal.
