Quick gear tips: Primary that can reload fast & a gun you're comfortable landing precision shots often with. Obviously specials and heavy w/ void.
[b]FIRST SHIP[/b]
Ignore all of the reaver dregs when you stand where I do. They're probably not going to go towards you. Focus ALL normal dregs (the ones that can actually hit you) while slightly moving left and right to dodge, but only so slightly so that you're still hidden from the ship's blasts. After the first wave of dregs drop, an invisible non-major melee vandal is going to go straight to you. You can melee him or do whatever, but he will be the next threat.
For the next wave, repeat.
In the end, a major invisible vandal with a captain's lord of wolves gun will blast at you. This is where you need to kill them all quickly before the next ship's enemies are nearby WITHOUT USING YOUR SUPER UNLESS YOU HAVE OBSIDIAN MIND.
1. Be a b0ss and gather them up and nova-bomb them all with obisidian mind.
2. Void fusions, shotties, machine guns, and rockets. Try killing the invisible dude first. If you can't find him within one second, just get the reavers. Make sure that you kill them dead, guardian.
[b]SECOND SHIP[/b]
Hopefully you've killed everything from the first ship by now. Nonstop killing is the challenge on this warsat. First, three sniper vandals will drop down. Usually they take the path to your left rushing you, but they can go right sometimes. Kill them QUICKLY. Do NOT let them surround you, kill them fast. Another wave will spawn as well.
THIS IS THE HARDEST PART OF THE FIGHT: KNOWING HOW TO HANDLE THIS SITUATION. There will be MAJOR & INVISIBLE captains AND vandals with the lord of wolves-esque weapon AND the normal super-long firing seeker shooters AND the annoying snipers that shoot super fast. They will all be piled up AROUND the same spot, not directly on it, watch video to get a good middle ground (they stayed consistently in the same spots during my previous attempts, so that's good). THIS is the hardest moment of the nightfall.
1. Nova bomb them thug life.
2. Tether w/ shared damage and then fusion rifle/shotty/sword/heavy machinegun / rocket the shit out of them.
3. Put a bubble up and take your sweet time.
Kill them FAST as when they're all piled up, you have but A FEW SECONDS before the third ship rolls in from the side doing a massive drive-by and then ending up where the first ship was.
[b]THIRD SHIP[/b]
If, for whatever reason you haven't killed everything from the second ship, stay on the half where the second ship is and you can jump behind that wall and take some time outside of the ring to finish them up. You have ~30 sec to spare outside of the ring, but save that for emergencies to regen health or hide from the extra ship such as now.
If you did kill them, good job. you're pretty much done. The third ship will spawn dregs and captains. Some of the dregs are lord of wolves users so watch out. This part is mostly safe because you'll finish on this one, so you can hide behind the warsat and take your time killing whatever tries to come to your half of the warsat and NOT worry about a ship rolling up behind you goin "whatup, I got a big turret."
TL;DR
[spoiler]Be a punk and go perma invis as bladedancer, or read the whole dang thing if you're not a bladedancer / titan[/spoiler]
