Beat Crota Hard Mode as Sword Bearer before Ogres spawned AMA about strategy and I'll try to help anyone out.

To be clear I did this with complete randoms off the forums so I think I'm pretty good at explaining my strategy and getting people to execute it. I'm a Lvl 32 Hunter and I used Blade Dancer and did not have a helmet that increased my melee attack speed. Ask me anything and I'll try to help. I think everyone deserves to get to experience the sweet feeling of crotas demise :) Edit 1: -putting strategy here so people don't have to fish through comments- Ok so if you are familiar with the middle strategy it will save a lot of typing. And from the beginning you will need at LEAST 1 Titan but the more the better. You will also want a hunter using blade dancer to carry sword. Ok onto the Strat, as soon as you leave the first room and head to the middle pressed up against the shield the Hunter and the Titan will jump down on the ground and make your way towards the sword bearer while firing rockets at him as your fire team is also firing rockets at him. As soon as he is down grab the sword and pick a rock on either side of crota and then jump on it the Titan will put down a bubble giving you blessing of light and enough orbs to get your super with the sword by the time you get crota down a second time. But here is the most important part, you need to have very good communication with your fire team the Hunter while in the shield will crouch and go invisible and jump up next to crota while invisible. As soon as you are standing next to him tell your team to shoot and the second your team says he is immune you start whacking him. You should be able to get 1 or 2 hits on him before he has taken a knee and 4 while he is down. The key part here is as soon as crotas shield starts to regen and you see him turn orange the Hunter drops the sword and melees crota giving him invisibility and then the Hunter picks back up the sword and your team downs him again. For the second down do the same as the first down only make sure you use the super of the sword to get that extra little bit that you need to get him down before ogres. After you have gotten your hits in jump off the platform straight ahead towards the middle room and swing your sword and try to get back in to safety in the middle room without taking damage. Stay in the room until he rotates back to middle and then rinse and repeat killing the sword bearer and having the Titan put a shield on the rock again and going invisible as the Hunter. You will do the same thing the only trick is during this crota will enrage, pay no attention to it and make sure to blink strike crota one more time and have your teammates down crota so you can put the finishing blow right before the oversoul kills you. This is the quickest and I think easiest way to kill crota but it does require you to be very exact with the sword and have the correct amount of hits every time including the super. This is getting pretty lengthy so if you have any more questions I'll be glad to help including first room strategy to get everyone out of there with full health.[
