Hey everyone so after a few completions on Hard mode, and seeing some people having difficulty knowing what to do or how to do it, I've decided to present a few of my personal tips I have for beating each part of the raid. What I recommend having for this raid: - 2-3 bubbles - 2 tethers - 1-2 warlocks that can be both storm caller or viking funeral sunsingers - If you want a bit of extra damage swap out one of the bubbles or viking funerals for a Melting point from a Sunbreaker - For everyone: G-Horn, Darkdrinker, Sleeper Simulate, Devils Dawn for sniping. (G-Horn is good for ad control, Sleeper is great for Vosik for DPS, Darkdrinker is boss for the rest of the raid). - For people who have already beaten the raid: Ex Machina (sniper) and IF Materia if you don't have a dark drinker. - Memory or Radegast - Transverse Steps 1st Part: Getting into the Raid The same thing goes for normal mode, not much has changed. 1 person guarding on each side, 2 runners, and 1 guy drifting back and forth to help others out. If you have a tether use it each round, and if you have a weapons bubble then have him put it in the middle and have everyone else come to middle after ALL bombs are thrown. Rinse and Repeat until you get inside 2nd Part: First Boss fight- Vosik. Once again you need to split into teams of 2 for each side but before you go start you need to know a few new things. First is that instead of 3 bombs there are 6, second is that the monitors take a lot more damage to kill, and third there are these barriers for each door you gotta slide under (Ultimate troll move by bungie). I recommend having a blinding blessing bubble on each side (place the bubble in the back) or an invisible grenade NS on each side. Kill adds until bombs, quickly collect all 6 bombs and do a quick count down (you should determine who will be your designated countdown guy) and throw them at the boss before retreating to the back and killing ads. At this point you should have 1 person from each side focus on the monitor while the other person covers them and kills ads. I highly recommend a sniper for the monitors. Once it's damage phase have one person quickly tether and everyone should migrate to the middle to damage (if you can have a vikings funeral or a weapons bubble) and start damaging him. One person should go to the front area for that top bomb during this time. After throwing that bomb the mid guy should be able to jump up and quickly call out where to go, migrate to the door and open the barrier. Rinse and Repeat until success. Two chests will spawn, look for the HEROIC loot one. 3rd part: Death Zamboni Nothing much has changed here either, 3 snipers and 3 ad duties. Make sure you have your warlocks on storm caller and have them use the Transverse Steps, titans can be anything but I recommend at least one bubble, and all hunters on tether once again. Use one tether in the beginning for ads, one bubble for blessing and protection, and maybe a stormcaller/sunbreaker if you guys feel you need it. Focus one turret then the other. Once you get on the Zamboni get to the top and get ready to run off after the wall blows up. Run all the way to the island before the skiff and hide behind the box; snipe the turrets before continuing on. Have your next tether ready and quickly kill the group of ads. Parts fall, anyone with Transverse steps should get one part. Transport them the top way (the bars) to the next island, have one person bubble near the bars for protection. After skiff leaves pop a super, take out the adds, and continue forward,.Remember to shoot mines whenever possible. Transport parts and continue to the next island, bubble for safety and then take out the ads with another super. At this time you should transport the parts to the final area while one person goes up to kill the Engineer guy. Hide in one last bubble and pop a tether for any stray Caps. Once the guy takes out the Engineer you should try and down the spider tank as fast as possible before going around him and transporting the parts (Don't kill, it wastes time). If you have the raid machine gun you can down it in about 3 seconds by yourself. Fix the thing and your done. (the parts are color coded. Shaft in front on the ramp (Blue), Warhead in the middle (yellow), engine block in the back (green)). 4th part: Aksis Pt.1 All that's added is turrets for each side that respawn after a while, so take care of those and keep an eye out. A charge shot from a cannon, a sniper, or a shotgun is best to use on these. Keep to the 2,2,2 and be careful on your caps. Use envenomed to trap them, blind bubble to blind them, and swords/rockets to kill them. Go to the middle after each round and pop all supers for a lot of orbs. For the final round have the middle bomb thrower worry about the 3 old ones while left and right take care of their 2 new ones. Final Part: Aksis Pt.2 Turrets are gone! Make sure everyone has a dark drinker as it makes everything go by faster. Every round is like the 3rd bomb phase though so you have to thrown 7-9 (I forget atm), so don't put down your cannons. Be careful with your ads, call out teleports. Non Empowered pick up cannons, put an empowered on each side AFTER your kill Caps (If one side has 2 empowered, one of you has to pick up the cannon). Left and Right side should be on their boxes worrying about their side and front middle while middle guy takes care of back middle (stand on that back box). IF everyone has a dark drinker then everyone else should be using the cannons during the first and second teleports (if you have 3 tethers then use 1 during the 2nd teleport). On the third teleport go to the side that he's on and drop a tether, weapons bubble for both cannons (if any) and drinker, and use that vikings funeral/melting point. Spin to win, refresh tether after about 4-5 spins, and keep on going till he teleports. If your the viking funeral guy then try your best to throw a grenade to refresh when needed, or if your the melting point guy try to have 2 punches so you can refresh your melting point. After he does get to that designated pillar (Recommended is the one on the far right side if your facing the boss). If you time this all correctly he should go down in 2 runs, but usually it will take you 3. On the last teleport round save a tether and the cannons for once he goes into final stand mode. Congrats! If executed correctly you have beaten the hard mode raid. Hope this helps out anyone, Happy raiding!
