Doing Strikes with randoms is a painful, rarely rewarding process. There are ways to make your life and the lives of your fireteam members easier in some strikes, so why not take advantage of that? I'm trying to reach as many people as possible to eliminate the number of people who don't know good strategies. - [b]Bond Brothers[/b]: Crouching in front of the red guy will make him get stuck in the same animation cycle. - [b]Echo Chamber[/b]: When you get the first relic, you can go up the road on the left and then go up the structure there directly in front of you that normally has some snipers and go over the hill, as a shortcut - [b]Echo Chamber[/b]: When starting the boss fight, crouch next to the first pillar on the right and rotate around it to get a good view of the boss. This will prevent the Mind from closing its critical spot and you can shoot it until it dies without having to deal with the absolutely terrible mechanic of going back and forth. - [b]The Darkblade[/b]: Attacking Alak-Hul with swords, supers and grenades will keep him from disappearing. You can effectively clear the whole fight without him disappearing even once. - [b]Taniks[/b]: After going up the elevator when the first phase is over, run inside the room where the next phase will take place but don't stand there, instead go at the end of the room where the door opens and two yellow Captains come through with some enemies. If you're a Warlock, pop your Stormtrance, if you're a Titan use hammers and if you're a Hunter use your tether and then sword them to death. This will make the fight much easier. - [b]Taniks[/b]: When you enter the next room with the Spider Tank, don't fight from below. Instead go up the big straight balcony directly above the tank where snipers spawn. Keep an eye for the snipers when they spawn and you will finish the fight faster and easier since you don't deal with enemies. If I remember any more tips, I'll post them. Please, for the sake of me and other peoples' sane, follow these tips! [b]EDIT: We are trending! Nice job guys! I appreciate every Guardian who agrees with me and you guys know how to run strikes effortlessly. [/b] [b]EDIT 2: If you like to run PvE activities fast and effortlessly, send me a message here and I'll add you on PSN. I am also the leader of the clan Hezen Prime and I am looking for more members! [/b] Below I will post the tips that some Guardians have posted: by [i][b]Dunkingnuts[/b][/i] - "Taniks strike - If all team members stand on the back balcony above the spider tank then there is NO snipers. Just adds that come out the doors behind you to deal with. Only the tank can shoot you. If any team member stays below then snipers spawn." by [i][b]Comfortably Numb[/b][/i] - "Run past Omnigul when you first see her, into the room where you fight her. It will be empty. Just wait a few seconds and she will follow. Tether her and raze lighter her to death as if you were farming for GoM." by [i][b]xZxInFlamesxZx[/b][/i] -"FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THINGS HOLY, USE YOUR SUPER AND CREATE ORBS." (he's right Guardians, don't be stingy). by [i][b]DevilDocz[/b][/i] - "You can block Valus' stomp like 5 times and R2 around 8ish times for good damage with Raze lighter" by [i][b]DracusPandor[/b][/i] - "Taniks: In the final battle do DPS until Taniks moves to the back left corner (he always goes to the same spot). Run to the left balcony and crouch. You'll have free reign on his head, but the balcony side rails prevent his rounds from hitting you. Most the adds leave you alone, but the couple that don't can easily be taken care of by one teammate." by [i][b]Cyber_219[/b][/i] - " Taniks: When the Wolf Walker comes down, instead of firing at the legs, fire at the Arc Cannon next to the main cannon. With enough shots, it'll pop off, only allowing it to shoot the big blast" by [i][b]p00p5utt[/b][/i] - "On the warsat portion of the shank strike (the first, timed part), destroy the enemy ship cannons (each time they appear - total of 2-3 times altogether) so they stop shooting you with heavy fire/splash damage." (I wish more people would do this to be honest) Thank you for the tips Guardians.
