PREPARE YOURSELVES GUARDIANS.....A TRUE TEST BEGINS WEDNESDAY! OGC PRIME - DAY 1 ATTEMPT

Up to Crota - the following is some things we noted without any info being looked up for Crota Hard. [b]ABYSS/LANTERN SECTION[/b] Stick Together! Equip for weapons that boost agility....and specs on Agility. Hit each lantern long enough to be at a Level 3 or so weight of Darkness and MOVE ON. The first 3 Lanterns you can roll as a squad without stopping at all really...or just briefly at most. Dont stop to shoot anything unless absolutley necessary. Once at the Final Lantern and Platform for the Light bridge.....have warlocks ready for revive....stay alive....and focus on Ogre Control until bridge is formed. Once formed - spoiler alert - run across as fast as possible! [b]Sword Bridge[/b] Still working out strategy here for total legit completion....with all 6 squad members getting across. Yes there are ways to complete this section without all members getting over - however - Legitimacy is the goal here. A couple of notes - Boomers are RIDICULOUS. 1-2 shots to kill you. Adds are NUMEROUS...and the Sword Bearer / Gate Keepers give and take more DPS. Ogre's seemed to be about the same in terms of what it takes to kill them. Once over the bridge and through the Door....there are now 3 total Shriekers. One at position 1.....1 new Shrieker right on the other side of light wall....and the normal one at position 2. (Now position 3). Chest Room Door DOES NOT START CLOSING until all shriekers are destroyed from what we can tell after 2 runs. [b]DeathSinger[/b] Pretty much the same SOP as Normal....with the exception of more enemies - more damage - and a 2 Minute Timer on Ir Yut....rather than 3 minutes. Our normal method of: 1 team at each tower.....left side wizard down / right side wizard down....left side Shrieker / Right Side Shrieker.....Blast Ir Yut.....works just fine. [b]CROTA[/b] The left platform strategy really doesn't work here ....at least not the way we normally do it. We tried left side / then right side.....both to no avail. After doing some research - and putting a few of our ideas together combined with other strategies from other teams - I think I am really liking the middle platform strategy. Looks like - for a warlock - Radiance with armor that has orb=health stat. VOC Primary. Blackthorn or Like Sniper for Secondary. Gjallerhorn as Heavy.....OR......Suros/RedDeath as primary.....Sniper Secondary....Hunger of Crota as Heavy.....and the main thing being Health Regen across all squad members....either using weapons or Blessing of Light from a Titan etc. Squad Makeup is key here too. I would suggest 1 Hunter....3 titans....2 Warlocks....or 2/2/2 at most. Bubble sheild with blessing of light to block boomers when going left or right to wait for Crota to move seems really smart....especially with Damage to Bubble = Orb drop perk.....that combined with Orb=Health stat would mean you have created a Health Regen pool. And as always - everyone knowing what their role is - and executing as flawlessly as possible - without a need for over-communicating will be crucial.
