Hammers on Oryx? Nah, you couldn't possibly.
HERE IS THE VIDEO: https://youtu.be/knf5hiFgyZ4
Who would use hammers on Oryx? That guy must be an idiot. Well...that guy is me. I've been helping guardians with the raid for quite some time now, and every time I do... I ask that every Titan use Hammers instead of running blessings of light. I've gotten all sorts or responses. Mostly people telling me that I'm an idiot or just laughing it off/ignoring me.
Some are intrigued, and those that are...well they learn a super awesome way to utilize their Titan during the oryx encounter. I made a video that people from my stream have been asking me to make for a long time now. After 100+ raid completions using this exact method, I figured I would :) enjoy.
Here is the method in plain text. It's not groundbreaking. It's simple and easy.
1. 4 people assigned to a platform. Can't handle a platform? Watch the video. It shows exactly how. Hop on, kill ogres, look for knight immediately after, shoot any acolytes/eyes, hop off when relic run says he has it.)
2. 1 relic runner.
3. 1 dedicated support up top.
4. EVERYONE running sniper rifles. Everyone using sniper rifles on OGRES.
5. Begin encounter and start platform sequence. (Platform 4 always up top to help with the other person on support).
6. Kill Ogres and then look for your knight your knight only. Shoot any acolytes or eyes that you see.
7. Relic runner calls out that he has it, everyone get off, make sure your knight is dead and run to the relic runner.
8. DPS Oryx.
9. Move to the front together, inside the aura, and kills ADS. Recharge your super.
10. Back out of center once oryx goes back to the middle. Kill remaining ADS and taken Knights.
11. Kill the shade.
12. Rinse and repeat.
Sounds like a lot of steps, but it is broken down. There really isn't anything to it. It's not hard to stay alive. People that continually die -- I always hear the same thing. "Damn acolyte eye got me". Well, did you kill any acolytes after you killed your knight? Probably not. You see me doing everything you need to do in the video.
If you like it, give it a try. If you don't want to, oh well who cares. My feelings aren't hurt.
Honestly hope this helps someone. It's the only reason I made it.
EDIT:
Don't know what all the discussion is about. There is more that one way to do things. In the video we clearly did not use a bubble and clearly had no issue with Oryx. I use this with new people all the time as I don't have a full team. You don't need a bubble. If this doesn't work for you, oh well. Do your own method lol. Really don't see what the issue is. The point of the video is to show another way.

I've not played in a couple of months so lemme know if it changed. It seems your team is just a good all round team, each player can pull their own weight. Now in my permanent team that I did with friends I talk to outside the game, so basically I can't just kick them to be efficient. My team setup would look a little like; 1) Very high & Incredibly fast runner 2) Average DPS but certainly the fastest runner I've ever played with. 3) MONSTER DPS, average runner 4) Average DPS, average runner 5) Weak DPS, very weak runner Our sixth player rotated between a few friends in differing time zones but most commonly 6) High dps, average runner So with my setup where not everyone pulls their own weight, I had to create a strategy plan that would average out our strength to all areas of the map. Player 1 would be on platform 1, 2 is the runner, 3 is permanently in the middle, 4 is permanently in the middle, 5 is platform 3, and 6 is platform 2. (Sorry if I'm losing you now) The idea is our highest DPS was in the middle at all times to kill ogres while player 4 had only titan characters so he was our bubble guy. The second highest DPS was on platform one so he could leave as soon at relic was grabbed and attack the fourth ogre which should have the two middle guys just about moving to it also. We gave the 4th knight to one of our center guys as occasionally Oryx would open up and 6 people would be looking for the fourth knight, so having one assigned to it meant 5 could DPS oryx without worrying about it. While playing with this team, this became virtually the only formation we could complete the raid. Sure a couple were a little butthurt when I suggested they weren't the strongest players but the fact that my strategy worked only proved it to them. LONG STORY SHORT my team consists of people who need assistance even when we have a bubble, so losing the bubble to us would make it an extremely hard encounter for at least 3 of my team. Long boring post I know but this is why hammers wouldn't work for me :)
