SGA: exotic sword quest ability kills fast
[b][u]Edit 2:
Just tested some of these things.
Sword kills will not count as ability kills. HOWEVER, IF YOU DEPLETE YOUR ENERGY THROUGH BLOCKING, THE HILT WILL GLITCH AND COUNT AS MELEE ABILITY KILLS. You must be blocking air though. Don't get hit and just find a quiet place to drain your heavy ammo.
This does persist though death. This is the fastest way to get ability kills. Every pve hilt kill will count as an ability kill.
In addition if you grab a tomb husk orb while your melee energy is full, you will be granted infinite melee energy and it [i]will[/i] count towards melee ability kills.
However, it does not work for shadow shot hunters, probably because their melee ability, smoke bomb, is coded as a grenade and you do not get infinite grenade energy.
This is much faster than any other way. If you are done collecting mats, just head into the waking the hive mission, block your sword down to no energy, hilt away, die to knight, repeat. [/u][/b]
Edit: thought I would update the post with some of the more interesting options.
1. Pvp kills count for five times as many as pve. Head into mayhem for lots of super and grenade kills.
2. (Untested) If you use your sword to block until all of its ammo is gone, then the hilt gets glitched and acts as an elemental ability melee.
3. If you do the lost to light missions, while holding a tomb husk, your melee will stay infinitely charged. Go to the two lock door, grab one of the orbs, melee everything but one, die and repeat.
OP:
Day one player, but I took a break after getting the 3 PoE exotics, and came back recently.
Just started doing the exotic sword quest lines, and the grind is real.
I didn't mind the major kills (triple hive on earth patrol).
I didn't mind the 25 sword pvp kills (hilt kills yay!).
I didn't even mind the gathering mats ones (I have really good farming routes from vanilla).
But the ability kills one is super annoying.
So far, I've just gone into fist of Crota, charged my super before the sword guy, then blade danced/golden gun combustioned the next room and go to orbit. Rinse/Repeat.
(I have all 3 on my hunter).
What was everyone else doing?
What's the best way for void hunters? Getting extra long grenades and using the venom smoke bombs?
Not having quiver sucks...
And I think killing the tethered enemies doesn't count, just the ones hit by the arrow?

Siege of the war mind thrall waves. Jump off after they are done rinse repeat average 6% in 1-2 minutes.

Solar (gunslinger just played the game) Void (defender, don't recommend, melee and grenades using Monti Carlo) Arc (storm caller super while collecting materials)

1 ReplyFor every hunter subclass Gunslinger: Go to dark beyond with a charged supee and 3 shots. Use combustion and shoot the three hordes of thrall. Fill up 5% of the bar and repeat. Blade dancers: Go to dark beyond. Id suggest razors edge or the other AoE effect with encore. Kill the three hordes of thrall, die, rince and repeat. Nightstalker: This is hard so... Get shadow shot with bloodbound, and a vortex grenade. Wait for the thrall hordes and then shoot shadow shot. Throw the vortext grenade down and watch your enemies explode. (bloodbound because it shares damage between enemies) You are welcome.

Well I took advantage of the arrow glitch in pve so it took me like half an hour

Edited by bizzzob15: 10/24/2015 2:19:43 AMI did seige of warming mission. Kill all the thralls and acolytes that are in the hallway before the final room. After you kill them jump off the edge. You will respawn at beginning of hallway and can kill all the thralls and shit again.

Edited by jay p: 10/24/2015 2:15:53 AMThanks everyone for the tips. Some really good ones. Mayhem, Monte Carlo, etc. I am doing all 3 on my hunter, because I thought keen scout would help, but it's not necessary because of ghosts. Wish I had done all 3 on warlock for ability kills. Emperor Palestine is at least as fast as blade dancer. Striker had to be the slowest. There's no way any void hunter or Titan can get void ability kills as fast as void walker. Crucible with voidfang, or pve with obsidian mind and bad juju. Solar Titan is probably fastest, but warlock is probably not far behind, especially with Monte Carlo and the double melee gloves. Overall, hunter was a mediocre choice :(

Edited by x_8-BitZombie_x: 10/24/2015 2:14:32 AMIf it's the part of the quest where you need to collect rare materials as well it's worth noting that pvp kills are 1% per kill and pve kills are 1% per five kills... So, your best bet is to just go into Mayhem and spam your abilities for kills; otherwise it will take forever. This is what I did for both Bolt Caster and Raze Lighter; haven't gone after Dark Drinker yet but I plan on doing the same thing again.

4 RepliesThe void Hunter is probably the hardest to get the void ability kills aside from Titan defender... Does killing tethered enemies even count as void kills?
-
Accidently picked up the void sword on my titan loaded up dark beyond and equiped the helm that gives you 2 melee attacks just melee one wait for the others to come by and use suppression grenade and kill about 5-7 thrall at once. When all thrall are dead rinse wash and repeat and you'll always respawned with a melee attack
-
Glad i picked void on my warlock rather than my future titan, pretty stoked to get Raze Lighter with a titan. Should be easy.
-
Used Sunbreaker melee kill automatically resets melee ability. GG good night.

5 RepliesPlay mayhem. Each kill counts as 10 in pvp. And when u play mayhem u get your super a lot

Edited by RandomLettersMS: 10/24/2015 1:38:30 AMThrow smoke and vortex nades at the gates to temple of scrota in the dark beyond mission (first time you see the stranger and scan the dead guardian, North most mission on moon) If you 'detect the light of a dying ghost inside' back out and reenter

1 ReplyI only used heavy cause I didn't know u could use the hilt lol took forever

"We've woken the hive" Throw a void wall grenade as soon as the enemies start coming up. Wear armor for high discipline/intellect. Equip bad juju to help charge your super. Equip the now option that does damage to tethered enemies when you kill one and use it often, leave the knight alive and die after you've killed everything else with your grenades/super/bad juju. Repeat again and again for like 20-30 times and you're done.

1 ReplyMonte Carlo = melee city. Knocks it out quick.

3 RepliesI went to the dark beyond story mission where you awaken the hive. Another way that is relatively fun is mayhem crucible modes because guardians count more per kill than ai enemies. It might be slower but if you like crucible it can be a fun way to get it done.
