ROC Strike speed runners! I need advice!
I've lately been getting really into speed runs with my go-to fireteam and we're looking for ways to further reduce or ROC Strike times. I could use any tips you other speed runners may have, even if it only shaves seconds off the time. Our best times so far:
[b]Valus:[/b] 5:35
[b]Sepiks:[/b] 6:30
[b]Sekrion:[/b] 4:35
[b]Phogoth:[/b] 4:36
[b]Archon:[/b] 7:51
[b]Omnigul[/b] 7:28

4 RepliesI prefer farming patrol, tracking public events. Just as many marks, rep as ROC. Way more mats, shards, energies and engrams. Much more relaxed. Can do solo, or can do even better than ROC with a three person fireteam.

16 RepliesDedicated speedrunner here. Your times are excellent. Some additional tips: Valus Strike: Don't get off your sparrow until the "Good news, 3 of his lieutenants are here" section. In that section, all 3 lieutenants can be killed via splatter with the Interceptor. Takes 2 hits (around 8 seconds each) to kill them -- splatter them by pinning them against the wall, or else there's a chance you'll knock them across the map and it will take longer. This method is much, much, much faster than using Icebreakers. After you kill the tank, hop back on the sparrow and don't get off until you reach Valus Ta'auric. Don't forget about the shortcut through that long canyon with the u-turn. Black hammer + Gjally will take down Valus fastest. Sepiks strike: Everyone knows this strike like the back of their hand, so I doubt there's much you don't know on this one. Don't forget that you can pull out your sparrow on the Devil Walker section and shave a few seconds. Black Hammer takes down both the Devil Walker and Sepiks Prime faster than any other weapon. 3 Black Hammers will kill Sepiks in about 30 seconds. A minute or two for the Devil Walker. Nexus: I'm not touching this one - 4:35 is faster than any time I've ever gotten, so you should be giving the tips here! Phogoth: Same as Nexus. You clearly have this one figured out. Archon: Something's going wrong here; your time should not be that high. Remember that this strike is super fast -- you only have to stop in TWO places, everything else can be run through. Sparrow all the way from the start to the point in the caves where you can't go any further. Then run all the way to the "If the Fallen are already fighting the Vex, they'll be ready for us" part. Kill all the enemies as fast as possible, throw your ghost into the door, and fight off the three waves with plenty of supers and Black Hammer. Then sparrow (NOT PIKE) all the way to the boss. Supers + Black Hammer again to the kill. You should be sub-5:30 on this strike once you get it all figured out. Omnigul: One simple equation, my friend: Voidwalker + Obsidian Mind + Bad Juju + Black Hammer = 6 minutes :-)

6 RepliesWtf is the point really? Your Running threw it not doing anything. Your terrible

At archon have someone shoot black hammer at him to keep him still and have others shoot rockets

1 ReplyDo you have vids of the speed runs? If not you should post 'em

5 Repliesi usually try to do strikes as fast as possible around 9-10 mins my average.. but i had the pleasure of joining with 2 other speed demons thursday against omnigul iv never seen her taken down so fooking fast was brilliant
-
anyone on 360 likes doing strikes this way please add btw
-
The only trick I really use is high agility with MIDA and blink. Great times, though. I had a sub-8:00 run of Dust Palace I was pretty proud of.

Brother, I will run (very quickly) with you ANY day. A tip of the hat.... Oh he's gone

I don't believe valus..

7 RepliesSome strikes I will heavy glitch on Use max agility and blink Gjallarhorn with weapons of light for melting bosses

I'm pretty sure you could take at least one more minute from Archon Priest, one thing I do during the door part, is go down but make sure they all see me and follow, hide behind a crate, then when they are really close, throw a Nova Bomb. With the amount of orbs I make I let the others get supers, use them, then recharge and repeat the process. For the Hydras, one with a launcher when the shield is out the way, one with a sniper during shield rotation.

1 Replyi actually find if you want valus to go down fast... two dragons breaths and a gjally are the trick... he will never even get a chance to move forward... we nuke him in no time flat usually...
-
6 RepliesOh, and I just got the world record for the undying mind strike! 4hrs, 58min.

5 RepliesHow did you do the sekrion strike so fast?

Edited by Craig da best: 4/11/2015 10:24:42 PMThe ninja did a good job, he beat me to the"splatter the majors before the tank in the valus strike" for omnigal take a saint 14 titan with you have him blind omnigul then rush her with shottys UR and found verdict work a treat (who needs gjally)

6 RepliesI actually discovered you can skip the 3 servitors in nexus the other day. Blew my mind. I am sure OP knows this, but you can jump through a window up top to skip the locked door. I know what I am doing next nexus!
-
1 ReplyI think your doing them fast enough.
-
13 RepliesDid you know, you have a higher chance of getting legendaries and exotics if you take the time to fight every mob in the strikes. They have the chance to drop legendary engrams and even getting more blues from them increases your cryptarch rank.

I don't have a set team to speed run with, but I'd be interested in seeing videos. I only speed run when I'm trying help speed level a friend if they need vanguard rep and points

1 ReplySometimes it's faster to die than to reload or run to the next part
