How to do EVERY STRIKE easily! (Mostly solo, multi will still benefit!)

Each with their own (recommended) loadout and detailed tactics, you will find strikes EASY. Here is what you should be capable of in terms of levels (This list is for the Weeklies) WARLOCK: Sunsinger. Fireborn. This is easily the best PvE class for Strikes. Level 25: Take on Level 24 strikes with ease and for semi-competent and very patient players, level 26 strikes. Level 25 warlocks will not do the Moon (Easiest strike for warlocks) at 28 (yes I mean 28!) unless you are VERY SKILLED, PATIENT AND THERE IS A SOLAR OR VOID BURN MODIFIER ACTIVE. Don't bother Hive or Vex based strikes with the void modifier at level 26+ Level 27: Take on any strike should it have Solar Burn if you are excellent at Destiny. If it is Arc Burn the only strike you can do at 28 is Devils' Lair, or Summoning Pits' should you be excellent. YOUR BEST FRIEND IS FIREBORN. DO NOT USE YOUR SUPER UNLESS YOU ARE DEAD AND IN DARKNESS. TITAN: A powerful class for both PvE and PvP. Balanced for both situations, halfway between the PvE boss Warlock and PvP madman Hunter. If you're using Striker class your effectiveness in PvE is greatly diminished. Should you have the Helm of Saint-14, your super is almost (ALMOST) as good as Fireborn. Level 24 or 25: Any level 24 strike. Level 26 Moon and Earth are possible if: Earth Arc, Solar, Void. Moon Void, Solar. Don't even try level 26 moon with arc unless you are level 26. Seriously. Level 26 can take any level 26 and lower. Level 27: Can take any 26 or lower as well as any 28 with a good burn modifier if you are excellent. Other modifiers don't mean anything, but Epic will make it hard. A level 28 with a good burn and Epic means not only must you be excellent but rather PERFECT. HUNTER: Solid PvE class for strikes, weaker without bubble or Self-Res (note this guide is for the solo players mostly) Bladedancers use invisibility effects to their fullest - It is extremely useful especially on "Dust Palace" solo. Gunslingers should use as many stability based upgrades or damage dealing upgrades as possible. Max out Regen and Agility for the beset effect. Level 25 and lower: Any 24 strike. 26 strikes should be possible, but difficult (like any other class, but to a slightly larger extent) and should have a nice burn or useless modifiers like Juggler. If you're good, then go ahead on any 26 strike. Level 26 can take on any strike Level 26 or lower - Cerberus and Pits will likely to be your biggest challenges, but shouldn't prove too difficult. Level 27: Try Level 28 Nfall if there is a good burn, and if there is no burn then it will be VERY difficult. (GOES FOR ALL CLASSES) Devils' Lair and Summoning Nfalls will be V.V.Hard - Patience! Weekly 28 should all be possible (skilled). Nightfall strikes treating you hard? Well you can do them solo using the cheesy cheesing methods for all the bosses. Devils' Lair [spoiler]This is an easy strike that most have mastered. But hey, everyone has an Achilles' Heel. Recommendation: Hand Cannon or Auto Rifle. Pulse rifles are a decent choice, Scout Rifles will hinder you, Correct Element Fusion Rifle or Sniper plus Slow Firing MG, preferably the right element. Step 1: The mesh layers is probably the hardest part of this strike. When you get into the room, at the very back there will be a two-stacked shipping container, behind which will be the elevated platform at the back of the room. Hide behind that shipping container for all three mesh layers. Target sniper vandals first by popping out, then Shanks, then Dregs and Vandals. IF a Captain rushes you use an ARC fusion rifle. For the third layer wait around a minute so the hive and fallen kill each other out a bit. Target wizards above all else if they remain alive, then Sniper Vandals/Explosive Acolytes and Knights and after follow the normal order described before. Step 2: The tank is the longest part of the strike but he is the easiest. In the middle of the area there will be that little pipeline thing, covered by a hill. When the Spider charges his big cannon, switch sides of the hill and shoot the legs always. IF there is a burn modifier use Slow MGs and snipers of that element. He'll die quick in that case. Step 3: Sepiks Prime. Useless boss. When you enter the Devils' Lair, there will be a room to the right that has a staircase that leads downstairs. Stay in this room and watch the door. Enemies will almost never ascend that staircase and more importantly Sepiks can't even hit you. If you need ammo run out quickly to pick some up or wait for your ghost to refill you.[/spoiler] Summoning Pits: [spoiler] Recommendation: Any primary, Hand Cannons helpful for wizards. Make sure that the cannon has at least 8 rounds. Right element fusion rifle and a VERY slow firing MG that you will swap for a launcher to fight Phogoth. Step 1: Run to the runes room. Ignore all enemies and move quickly. Use your sparrow and avoid boosting. When you get into the runes room hide next to the door and take your time. Kill in this order: Cursed Thralls next to groups of enemies, Thralls, Cursed Thralls, Rusher Knights, Exploder Acolytes, Normal Acolytes. Use elemental weapons. This is EASILY the hardest part of the strike. The first two waves are easy if you're patient. Step 2: Run past everything and get to Phogoth. Watch for Cursed Thralls. It really helps to throw a grenade in the room just behind that ogre. Step 3: Kill spongebullet squarepants. This is actually extremely easy - You know that if you stay in the room in front of phogoth a shrieker spawns? Well in the room behind that you're safe. Pop out of the room and shoot phogoth, go back, regenerate, reload and wait out enemies or the shrieker (Takes around 10s) and go back. Note that knights and thralls WILL annoy you, so kill them from inside the safe room. IF you want use some Heavy Ammo Synthesisers to hurry it up.[/spoiler] The Nexus: [spoiler] Recommendation: Auto Rifle, Fusion Rifle with the right element and a Launcher. The Nexus' boss is most likely the most difficult to solo, but by no means is it impossible. When playing with others, all three players must jump down. If two stay on the ledge they are practically useless. Step 1: Run past anything and everything to the Servitors Room. When you're there proceed to the building on the far right and clear that out and keep it clear. Stay in that building and move slow. Target the Servitors LAST (Except for the one that spawns inside the building). Stay at full health at all times and use Sticky grenades. Step 2: Run past more of everything and when you get to the room with the Vex and the two sniping hobgoblins use your heave MG, Launcher, Fusion Rifle or Auto rifle to kill the long line of vex when you get past those hob snipers. After that you'll be in that dark tunnel. Run though and when you get outside there will be that huge clump of goblins. Stay back and use grenades and DO NOT USE HEAVY AMMO. When they're done equip your Void Fusion rifle (Optional of course) and jump down. Kill the minotaurs one by one. DO not rush them all at once. Step 3: The hardest boss in the game to fight solo. DO NOT USE YOUR HEAVY ON THE BOSS. THE WAVES OF VEX ARE BASED ON HIS HEALTH REMAINING. USE YOUR HEAVY AMMO ON THEM. Use grenades earlyt after each wave of Vex on the boss. When you've killed all those minotaurs run to the area on the left of the jump down. It is the ELEVATED area of the room with a long wall covering most of it. When Vex spawn in first target the close wave on the right side, then turn around kill the left wave and then focus on any remaining enemies. Shoot hobgoblins first, as they are in shield mode kill goblins. Amounts of Harpy will rush you, kill them before you shoot hobs. When all vex are dead, take your damage on the boss. Use special ammo on him. Use the wall for cover and never attack the boss unless you have full health. Use sticky grenades again. [/spoiler] Winter's Run [spoiler] Recommendation: Auto or Pulse rifle or a High Powered Scout. Use a fusion rifle with the right element and an MG with around a default 40 rounds or less ammo. The Zombie Apocalypse is pushing it. Easy strike if you know how to do it. Step 1: Run past everything until the Ketch. Exterminate Vex then Fallen enemies. Send Ghost out to the door. Step 2: Wait by the door while the waves come at you. Target hobgoblins first, as well as Harpy. This part can be hard with the second wave spawning three Axis Hobgoblins on the right side Just make sure you keep on your toes and always regenerate before fighting large waves of hobgoblins. Step 3: Run past everything until the boss fight area. In the second to last area there will be two Hydra, if you must kill the one on the top using a sniper rifle. Jump up on the rightmost ledge, closest to the entry area of the room. Run past enemies to get to the main fight safely. Fighting the Archon Priest is SUPER EASY. All you need to do is clean out all enemies and then jump on one of the rocks that you're not "meant" to get onto. These rocks include areas that you will clearly see as difficult to shoot at. There is one rock that is directly opposite the cell that I use. IT is very close to the back of the area, almost right up the rock. Kill shank and vandals that aim at you, and use as much heavy ammo on the boss as possible. USE THE ROCKS USE THE ROCKS USE THE ROCKS.
