My fireteam and I were trying to see if we could kill Oryx without detonating any Corrupted Light at all. Everyone was 300+ Light with Touch of Malice and we had 4 Weapons of Light bubbles. Turns out if you try to do that, Oryx regains the favor of the Darkness after you stagger him, and goes completely immune.
We then decided to try and stack as many Corrupted Light as we could and detonate it all at once. Two sets of four Corrupted Light bring Oryx to 50% health, so we waited till we had four sets of four Corrupted Light on the ground before we detonated them. By doing the boss fight this way you completely skip the artillery phase, and goes straight into being teleported and fighting the Shade of Oryx.
It seems that you don't actually have to shoot Oryx once you detonate the Corrupted Light, as the detonations seem to deal all the damage needed to bring Oryx to 0% health. The only time you need to shoot Oryx is to stagger him so he doesn't detonate the Corrupted Light himself, and when he goes to the front of the room after he's already reached 0% health.
Edit: If you have a minute, please vote this for Bungie MOTW. It would mean a lot to me. Thank you! https://www.bungie.net/en/Community/Detail?itemId=159935290

I think he might have been taken down after the 3rd set. Good job though trying something different.

You need to Grease your touch of malice it stopped spinning
-
Fak u and your motw emblem mur. kidding. gratz on the emblem!
-
I heard xbox360 can't handle 16 bombs being detonated at once. Crashes the game and maybe breaks it... This true?
-
So I take it that the enemies (mainly the ogres) can't detonate the blights when they spawn?
-
We tried this and when we detonated the lights destiny crapped out and froze our game, all 6 of us had our games freeze lol
-
Me and my clan have hypothesized this may be the "challenge mode" for the heroic raid. Could still be done just have to kill all the knights.
-
This won't work on hard therefore useless. I can do both easy and hard mode any strat in my sleep.
-
Hope they patch this
-
I like this strategy. The only difference I see Is though is that you don't do the mortar phase, you just do the shade instead.

Someone is on the old gen. ToM has no animation from the sphere.
