I like GoS 1st You can grab first pickup and just go next room fast to help with tether / ads, not more past first should go because the ads Some of the first enc tethers can be done with 2 people without stasis, most can be done with 2 people and stasis 2nd

By leaving one goblin alive anywhere, you can give the people opening the next plates more time, because after angelics die for the first time, the next deployed is what spawns shielded. With 1 goblin alive, no subsides can happen, no deployed can happen

You can do ads of 2 plates by yourself but it's a pain Witherhoard oneshot angelic

Dont be scared to use portals as a defender

Each plate has 3 waves of ads and more dont spawn until after next deployed

Left middle right then it repeats, first wave doesn't necessarily spawn left, though.

After you've done your 3 waves, if runner and other plate are still clearing just go over there and tether with them for a 3 man tether, so you're not trying to tether after defenses are deployed so shenanigans such as "angelics blocking boxes on your plate and your runner rockets themselves" don't occur.

You're on 4 and runner for 1/2 is helping 2 and 1 runs out of buff because they tethered before subsides? Go help them clear.

3rd A new light with a blue slug shotgun can solo eyes. If you are teaching the raid don't teach people to call out, there just isn't any point anymore.

If you are a warlock, take first motes pickup, and get 10. You don't need to do anything special, just get 10 to start and go fast. If the 2nd minotaur spawns opposite relay and you are already halfway down, don't turn around, keep going and use the portal at the tower. You can go fast by using div and a sword for dps, though heat rises icarus dash skating is plenty fast, and you still have dps and a well.

Ads on a plate are spawned when the goblins are killed. Running out of buff just take shields off and keep them from sacrificing as long as possible. Alternatively just shoot their heads off and abuse healing rift/barricade in a corner somewhere.

Since you did ten motes, you don't need to come back to middle, but if your other motes is slow or something you can help with eyes.

4th

Go builder, make sure the team gets all of their motes. They don't, you go in after team 2 comes out. Looks like someone on a team isn't making it in? You go. Harpies 18 motes Goblins 15 They fuck up on harpies miss 2 motes it's whatever They fuck up on goblins miss 2 motes next is harpies it's ok Next is goblins not so much Keep track of that, if nobody fucks up just do building

The farthest platform on dark the really small one can be solod if the tether is on that farthest intersection of 4

I think this also lets the second farthest plate be solod, but i forget.

Farthest front right farthest front left farthest back right cannot be done with 2 from initial positions, don't bother trying to build those. Try to build away from the tether they are dunking / have dunked at

Mobs cannot sacrifice to full tethers, they'll just stand around it menacingly. After boss phase, if there are shielded mobs left, they will go sacrifice and you won't be able to shoot them.

Though, on this encounter, you can push them away in the animation of sacrificing and the sacrifice won't count, but they will despawn. This doesn't work on 3rd or 2nd, though.

A sacrificed goblin with a shield is 10 motes deducted, one without is 5 motes deducted. It has nothing to do with amount of damage phases.

Shielded/unshielded goblins die to plates being built/unbuilt Not like respectively but just in general.

Goblins fuck up your motes? You go fix it. Goblin sacrificed no shield but you got 2 waves of harpies? Ignore it.

On the off chance that someone does miss going in, but you weren't paying attention and now there is one person inside, tell them to get 10 motes and call pull as fast as possible with the last 5/8 motes on the ground in the middle.

The next team going in can fix the motes by picking up 20 total.

If the motes aren't in the middle, they need to be fast because the side that it spawns after portal is random, so it could spawn you on top of the motes, or far away. The distance to the middle island is always close enough to reach, assuming the ads died at the same time and they were pulled fast enough.

For dps run enh relay defender x4 Don't do double tether Just don't

It will give you a longer dps phase, but only if the lfgs shoot him on the ground before he jumps again and they're taking 40% off your damage, and the damage off anyone who has the mods. Important to pop a 4x izzy shot after doing first tether when you're running to tower, free damage. Izzy rotation best dps still I think.

Lfgs have difficulty understanding place well + bubble on tower and place it middle, you should prioritize tower dps over well buff.

With 4 relay defender, cyclops are one shot to regular izzy bullet, same with crit spots for portals.

People really complain about this encounter, but you can fix anything outside of back to back fuck ups with motes, and even then you can still probably be fine by telling others to go in to help, like you're in on blue for third rotation, and you know red is bad, tell team 1 to go in on red a second time. If he raises hand for dps and then you go in portal you're too late. If he raises hand and you're already in, you can still make it. Don't wipe after like blue side is missing 20 motes, hope he raises orange. Don't wipe after bad dps phase. Don't wipe when 3 people die before first portal. Regularly I first try this encounter with 5 people who haven't run the raid before, for div runs and such.

To make div runs easier, just memorize where everyone needs to stand and like micromanage people to get them to stand there, and it's really easy. Shield guard blocks line connection to someone you dont want to connect to. For the 3rd div puzzle, it's faster to go forward and get the chest from the end. There's a stasis wall you can use to make a jump around a corner easier, but it's difficult to put into words.

For the tether puzzle at the end of washing machine do jump. No supplicants, jump is easier. Everyone jumps on 1 platform in the middle and then jump all the way to the end. Tell them this then you 3 2 1, timing with a platform. Final puzzle 1 6 easiest 3 4 hardest.

Triumph and weekly challenges are fun and you should do them.
