Luke Smith is the Darkness

Xol is a worm God the second most powerful being next to the darkness. And we kill it in a lousy story mission that has paper thin characters

A couple of things to note: -We faced Crota in his own throne world, where each respective Hive is magnitudes more powerful than their physical forms. -It is widely believed that prior to their loss in the Hellmouth Eris Morn and her fireteam successfully bested Crota's physical form and banished him to the Raid. We all know what happened afterwards, but to be fair they did face the fully powered Crota [i]without[/i] first destroying all of his tribute paths. -We also systematically dismantled Crota's power base to bring him to his knees; his warriors, his lieutenants, his second in command Omnigul that all fed him tribute and made him stronger, and then his own sword in the story mission "Sword of Crota". -Each encounter in the Raid by the sword logic made us more powerful and by the end we were worthy to face Crota. His own stupidity killed him though, his own blade. With Xol: -Before they were frozen Rasputin is said to have waged a fierce campaign against Xol and Nokris using his full arsenal of orbital weapons and the like. Ana Bray remarks that Rasputin was barely able to stop Xol the first time. That led to him doing something that drove the Hellas Basin into a deep freeze. This means that Xol, Nokris, and much of their warriors were weakened from the previous campaign and while frozen were unable to recover. -While frozen they were unable to gain strength or keep their hunger in check. -Once again we systematically dismantled Xol's power base before cutting the beast down; majors, ultras, and Nokris himself all fed tribute to their patron worm. Us being what we are we tore a path of destruction through all of it. So at the end while these beings are/were very powerful, we or another party did a ton of damage to them before even directly facing them. In the case of Xol and Nokris, I have a sneaking suspicion that our brief encounter was merely prelude, why else put so much emphasis on references to Nokris being knowledgeable of resurrection and being a rare Hive Necromancer? They'll be back, you can count on it. Remember that in Rise of Iron Omnigul undid her own death...

Crota raid was fun

That is a fact plus Crota was a better encounter too

Nah. Crota was a wuss. All you had to do was pull a cable to beat him.

Xol was the weakest worm, Crota was the sword of the taken king, the bad bitch who killed the strongest worm.

But no one beats the shader monster. He spawns endless waves that can overrun you, and even if you get past the waves, destroying them one at a time will eat away at your mind like eris.

It’s true. Also I feel like Crotas final battle was harder than xol. I’m not the only one that thinks that, right?

Xol is weak for a worm god. He is way more dependent on his Hive troops than any other Hive leader or worm god. Edit: Plus he's a necromancer. Unlike others he can bring himself back to life. He'll be back in a future expansion.

Crota killed thousands in the grate disaster xol was frozen so crota had more power via the sword logic

Crota used to jump off the map rather than face a solar flare!
