Supercell is great fun, but it's hardly viable for the raid. - Half of the event require a good scout or pulse rifle as there is a distance between you and the enemy. - If you're going to use an exotic weapon, you'd use the black spindle or touch of malice. If not and exotic sword is insane and twice as effective for your add clearing. - And last, taking care of adds is not even an issue for experienced teams, I did two raids under one and a half hours today and we hardly paid any attention to the adds.
