Using the Relic in the Vault of Glass Raid

To those who don't have a clear idea of how to use the relic: If you're familiar with the moon mission, "The Sword of Crota," the Relic works very similar to the sword you use against the Hive. The Relic Is shield-like weapon that can smite enemies and shoot a giant beam of light as its super. Think Templar from Diablo III I guess. R2: Heavy attack The wielder charges forward a short distance, attempting to ram an enemy with the relic. This has decent homing capabilities, and can also be used in mid air for floating enemies, such as the Harpy. Use this to one-hit kill most ground units. Beware though, as the wielder doubles back after charging forward into nothing, so you'll be vulnerable for a split second. You can also use R2 in midair to do a short range shockwave slam, similar to the Titan's super shockwave move. This move is great for taking out mobs or stunnin minotaurs. However, be cautious when using this, as you are quite vulnerable after it is executed. R1: Light attack The wielder of the Relic takes a step forward and attempts to hit the enemy by bashing in its face with the Relic. This is your standard melee attack with the Relic (very similar to the Sword of Crota). It is slightly weaker than the Heavy Attack, but much more mobile. You can use it in midair to gain a short speed boost, which is very useful for creating some quick distance between you and any threat. L1 and R1: Super Beam Lazer Thang The super gauge charges fairly fast when you hold the Relic, and even faster when you kill enemies with it (which is quite easy to do). Aim your reticule as you would a Bazooka and pull back both the L2 and R2 trigger buttons to unleash a devastating plasma ball of energy. Think Kamehameha from Dragon ball Z. L1: Cleanse While the grenade gauge is fully charged, you can hold down the L2 trigger to create a bubble of cleansing light around yourself. Often times during the raid boss fights, you and your teammates will become afflicted with some kind of screen-blurring status effect. This is because you are being "Marked by the Oracle," and it will eventually result in instant death unless everyone is cleansed. When everyone is marked, the Relic bearer should call everyone together to his position, and get ready to cleanse. Beware though, the longer you hold it down, the longer the cleanse function will take to recharge, so try not to hold it down too much. Triangle: Drop the Relic When the wielder dies (or holds TRIANGLE to drop the relic), someone else should usually try to pick it back up as fast as possible. This is because during the raid boss battles, all players will die whilst the relic isn't being wielded by anyone. This is everything I've learned from experience, and I don't actually have a lot of Raid experience, so please correct me if I've gotten anything wrong or missed any important details.
