I need help. We did this exact strategy and I was still getting shot by boomers. (I was running sword). What should we do to keep them off me or what should I do?

  • Our group had luck with me putting the bubble on the sword bearer as he was hitting crota or about a foot behind him. This way he got no damage. It was bit tricky at first but once I got the bubble placement down we just needed to work on ogre phase. After we got ogres down to clock work took 2 more attampts and I got my hand cannon woot. Now I'm just hoping I can find a good titan to take my spot so I can get my hunter a hard crota kill.

  • You need your team to shoot boomers so they're not paying attention to you...not kill them just a few shots that's all...worked great for my group yesterday o just chilled on the play form show each boomer twice

    Tip 1 - When 1st spawning in with your team all load heavy ammo and wait at least 3 minutes before stepping on the plate...this will allow the cool down time for heavy ammo to be completed once you engage Crota for the 1st time.. Tip 2 Don't use heavy ammo while clearing out both chambers...it really isnt needed. make sure everyone uses some form of flash bang grenade and focus on the acolites 1st...this is very effective and also useful when taking down the sword bearer. When clearing out the chambers use the alcoves around the crystal chamber for added cover. Tip 3 - make sure all Titans are using blessings of light, it aids your team mates and restores your own health to full capacity. Tip 4 - when taking down the swordbearer the only Guardian who should useheavy ammo is the Swordbearer...the remaining 4 Guardians need to use anything else re ice breaker to stagger and flash bang grenades...meanwhile the 5th Guardian is on sniper duty on the boomers...which only need to be engaged once the Guardian is heading for the sword and Crota. The Guardian on sniper duty only need to stagger the knights...not kill, if you do kill one wait until the 2nd respawns before taking out the other. Titan bubbles are a blessing in this and can be used for a great deal of useful combos...we have yet to complete the raid as wiped as Crota got to approx 15% but the tips above should give you that extra edge....happy hunting.

  • Happened to our sword guy last night as well when we tried this strategy. He wasn't shooting anything either, but was still getting taken out by the boomers.

  • Not to mention Crota is still buggy as hell. He literally got up within half a second one run and jedi cut me.

  • lol. We had way too many problems with glitches like that. We also dealt with Crota's insta-kill on our swordbearer (a few times he instantly regened just after he went down to his knees and killed our swordbearer), amongst other glitches like the immortal sword keeper, the hide-a-crota (stays on the side and never returns to center), and just overall bad server connections. We constantly found ourselves going to orbit/changing hosts to find a bug-free server. And on top of it we had to deal with a few PUG team mates that refused to burn heavy synths because their ice breakers were 'strong enough to bring down crota' or weren't willing to invest the time and effort to get this strategy down as a team because they almost beat crota their way with another group. It was a joke and we had to call it a day. Hopefully we will beat him this weekend- when our remaining 2 members are able to join us.
