In Destiny , players have found a way to take down the hardest enemy in the game, Oryx in Hard Mode, more easily. Is this intended by Bungie?
A bit of cheese in the raid?
The US website Polygon discusses “cheese” in Destiny in an article. These were and are tactics used by players to easily clear the final bosses.
Atheon could be pushed off his platform, while Crota required the host of the game to pull the LAN cable, and the Dark One would immediately drop to its knees and weep bitterly. Clearly for Polygon: Back then, Destiny was still in its infancy, these bugs were simply overlooked.
The current raid “King’s Fall” is said to be much more polished: Such strange exploits do not exist… except for one.
Normal or “no knights”? How do you want your Oryx?
Of all things, Oryx, the boss of the raid, could be made considerably easier if one simply decides to kill the ogres late in each phase. Because while the “normal method” has the ogres fought immediately, triggering the spawn of knights who fight over the critical bombs with the players, the “no knights” strategy suggests dealing damage to Oryx first and then taking out the 4 ogres all at once.
The “normal” strategy, the ogres are killed immediately, then the knights:
Polygon sees a “great advantage” in this tactic because the strategy with the knights also eliminates an important skill check and an equipment check, as many Destiny players simply had too weak gear in recent weeks to kill the knights quickly enough amid all the chaos.
On the other hand, Polygon believes that the “no knights” methods also have their disadvantages because the ogres present a dangerous chaotic element that followers of the “normal strategy” do not have to deal with. Because the ogres are taken out immediately. If players had better equipment, this tactic would gradually fall out of fashion, they believe, because the normal one is clearer and less reliant on chance with better gear.
The “No Knights” strategy:

In any case, it is not a cheese. If Bungie has something against the strategy, then they need to patch it.
What do you think? Which tactic do you prefer and why?
