Here is a plan for you in simple terms. 1. Kill bond servitor to the left when starting. Use high impact snipers, rockets, or machine guns to try to get his health down where the bonds are broken. If you fail to get the bonds broken it is ok, rotate the the other side of the map where the next servitor spawns. You could kill the servitor again but chances are Skolas wont be near you to shoot him accurately. If he is not near, dont kill servitor, kill adds. If Skolas is near you, kill servitor and shoot at Skolas to destroy his bonds. 2. Once bonds are broken, rotate back to the other side where you killed the first servitor. Kills adds again until Skolas has moved near you. Shoot Skolas again, if you arent surrounded by adds. 3. Hopefully at this point Skolas health is now half or so and dismantle the mines has started and the tainting of a guardians light also has started. The mines will always be located in the same 3 locations but the order is random. Place the weakest player where the second servitor spawned because that mine has the most cover. Place your strongest player where the first servitor spawns because more adds are gonna spawn and it has the least cover. Last person goes to middle mine, preferably an invis hunter or bubble titan. 4. Who ever had the essence needs to immediately get to a teammate when it is time to pass it. At 10 secs left you should be in close proximity of your team. Use your mic to communicate who has the essence and what time is left on it. 5. After mines are dismantled and essence is passed rotate and kill adds. Continue to do this until the adds are very thinned out. All the while passing the essence. 6. Once most adds are gone work on skolas and keep up communication about the essence. 7. Eventually another wave of mines pops up. Do same deal as before, also another group of adds will spawn in so be careful. 8. Once the second wave of mines have been dismantled it should be smooth sailing. Clear out remaining adds, while still passing essence. Rotating if you need to. 9. Now it is time to kill skolas for once and all. Let off everything you have into him. Once he is dead collect rewards. Notes: The essence works like this, Player A has it then Player B takes it at 10 secs or less, then Player B has it and Player C takes it at 10 secs or less. Then Player C has it and Player A takes it at 10 secs or less. Then the process keeps repeating. The essence starts at 30 secs then counts down. Rotate when things get too heavy. (Too many adds or Skolas is too close) Rotate back in forth between the two servitor spawn points. Always take the long way and run along the outside of arena. Titan bubbles and hunter invis are very useful when dismantling mines, use them wisely. Lastly, the most important thing is knowing how to kill and survive. If your teammates die often while killing adds, shooting skolas, or dismantle mines then chances are it is not gonna work out. You have to play great to succeed. Try not to blame game all the time, take ownership. If you get killed, chances are you could have avoided your death. Tips to staying alive: When your health bar turns red, run away. When you are surrounded, run away. Try avoiding running in the middle of the map, stay along the outside. Dont rush the enemies, let them rush you. Shotguns are your best friend vs captains. Be aware of your surroundings. Dont aim down your sight too long. Look around and check radar often. If you can follow these tips you should have a better chance of survival and succeeding. Edit: Can people bump this so more people can see it please.

With a big stick until he stops twitching.

Stay on the platform to the right and have a titan with bubble to cover the middle mine and a self res or invis character to get the mine on the far side. Stay safe, don't get shot and the second ads spawn forget skolas exists and focus on ad management. The mines supposedly spawn at 50% and 25% health so keep an eye on how low his health is so you aren't taking on ridiculous amounts of ads whilst dealing with mines. Also, if you have 2+ gjallys you can burn down his health at 1/4 and there will be no ads to deal with for the last mines

It's easy. Just don't suck. Jkjk

Gitgewd lol. What platform are you on?

If it's small arms- I was advised to try Thorn. And it worked wonders. Beat him twice in the last few days. Be patient. As earlier replies suggest; take out vandals and captains priority as they dig themselves in like goddamn Alabama ticks. Fang of Ir Yut or fatebringer maybe if you don't have thorn. Or don't like it. Rotate, talk to team, share the essence, kill, rejoice. Then look forward to the reward bounty for one of the 3 guns...

We done it with two Titan Defenders and a Sunsinger Warlock using the "run around doing laps" method.

Run 2 bubble titans and 1 res warlock. Hunters are useless because they cant produce orbs. With give of the void perk and 2 blinding bubbles you will ALWAYS have a bubble up for safety and the warlock is there as a safeguard. I have run many skolas and the easiest time ever was 3 blinding bubble titans and we beat it in an hour and 20 minutes. cakewalk! I would advise on passing on the weeks when lightswitch is a modifier as well.
