  • You should mention how to get more [heavy] swings on the sword using proper technique. If you time the animation correctly, as your character is lifting the sword back up, you can instantly do another heavy swing and always get in consistent/fast heavy swings when you need to. The guy in your embedded video is doing it, but it isn't actually explained. "Crota stands up in roughly 4.5 seconds. Don’t be there when he stands up, he will slap you." Again, shown in the video but not explained. A player should always approach Crota from behind when they are striking him. It is also easier to keep the boomer knights off you by staying at the back wall of the platform. When I run sword for a team[on hard], I never have a titan waste a bubble just to aggro the boomers or ask anyone to watch the boomers. From personal experience: Since the swordrunner will always be the first into the ogre spawn room, they should use their super to generate orbs in front of the door, and to kill stray thralls in that area. By the time your super is complete, the team should all be in the room and setup to get the ogre. I always let the rest of the team work on the 2nd ogre while I sit by the door and clear out thralls occupying the stairs. Since most groups have a warlock, another option is to have that player use their super on the thralls on the stairs, that way there are orbs on the way up back into the crystal room.
