Hey everyone!
I wanted to have this here to see what people's strategy is for being sword bearer on Crota. Also, if someone is nervous bout trying to sword, they may be able to get some ideas here!
For me, I use my hunter. I'll hop down after going into the main room and I'll chase the sword bearer down with my HoC so that he dies quickly. I hop on the right right, crouch for invise, and tell my team to fire at Crota soon as the invise kicks in. That way, Crota should have his shield down before I get to him. I'm typically able to get 4 swings in if I time it right (swing while Crota is still up and if I see damage being dealt, I know I have time for four swings). After the 4th swing, I drop the sword and knife crota for invise. Count to two, then tell team to fire again. I am then able to get four more hits in. This leaves crota with half health on hard as a level 32.
What about you guys? Do anything different? I see a lot of people using Hunter super for invise prior to picking up sword but I haven't done that myself.
Being sword bearer is a LOT of fun. I recommend it for anyone who is on the fence or nervous. Boomers typically don't bother me as a Hunter but every now and then, they'll be dicks so I might assign one guy to sniper duty just to distract the boomers (not killing them).

Great sword bearer. Lol. I'll have to repay the favor someday and show you the strategy I use. I really do appreciate the help the other day.

4 R2s is actually only 122,408 damage which isn't half his health :p. What I do is as we come to Center ledge as I see first shot at sword bearer I use my super and arc blade swing near the sword bearer, and as he is dropped I vanish with super and jump up from chalice spot and say fire mid jump, I combo R1+R2*3 which does exactly 50% damage to crota, then drop and knife crota, repeat, if you have a good team you can go 3rd down and get an R2+Super in. This is how I 2 sword on hard
