In the MMO shooter Destiny, the Nightfall, the weekly dusk strike, pits players against the Archon Priest.
Every Tuesday at 11:00 AM, the “lockouts” for activities in Destiny are reset. Additionally, a new weekly heroic instance and a new dusk strike are chosen. Guardians also receive loot from the raids. For safety, it is advisable to log out and log back in after the weekly reset.
The “Nightfall” holds a special place among the activities in Destiny. If a Guardian successfully completes this, they receive 24.5% more reputation and experience points for the rest of the week. The specific strike chosen for the dusk strike follows a precise sequence. This is called the “rotation” – the exact details of how it works are still unknown.
In 14 days, trouble is brewing
With the next DLC “House of Wolves” on May 19th, a new strike will be added to the rotation. It can be assumed that the new strike in Destiny will immediately become a dusk strike in the first week. Non-DLC buyers are likely to be excluded. Potential for conflict is brewing; so it was last time.
But that’s still 14 days away. This week, from May 5th, we’re heading to Venus: The Archon Priest awaits. Bungie has set us up: He was only here 2 weeks ago, which was hardly to be expected. We were actually prepared for Phogoth. This happens when the predictors stay silent.
Apparently, they want to give the Guardians a treat at the end of the expansion: This is the third triple burn in a row.
The modifiers for the dusk strike in Destiny on May 5th.
- Nightfall – If the entire fireteam dies, it goes back to orbit, and the strike must be restarted from the beginning
- Epic – the enemies are tougher than those under the heroic difficulty modifier
- Solar Flare – Solar damage is increased.
- Void Flare– Void damage is increased.
- Arc Flare – and the arc damage is also significantly increased. Yes, this is what’s called a triple burn. A rainbow strike.
In the heroic weekly, Void-Flare is active.
Which weapons are recommended for the strike?
- As a primary weapon, Guardians can use the Destiny Bringer, the Erlass der Überseele, or use Ir Yût’s Reißzahn. Alternatively, one can opt for Crota’s Word or any other elemental weapon – the choice is free here.
- In the special slot, a sniper like a modified Efrideets Spear, a Black Spindle or the Icebreaker is recommended. Fusion rifles or even shotguns can also be useful here if you’re looking for variety.
- For the heavy weapons slot, one might consider the Gjallarhorn if they have it, or take the Donnerlord along.
