In the MMO shooter Destiny , the Nightfall, the weekly dusk strike, leads Guardians on April 28 into the “Will of Crota.” It’s against everyone’s favorite Siren, Omnigul.
This week, Guardians have a forced break if they haven’t indulged in the DLC “Darkness Looms.” Omnigul is in focus. For those rolling their eyes at the prospect of spending hours there again, let it be said: it’s not that bad. It’s a Triple-Burn, a rainbow strike. All three elemental damage types are significantly increased. This should go quickly.
Most likely, this is the last time Omnigul appears before the next DLC. Then she might lose her special treatment to the then new “DLC” strike with House of Wolves. It is set to be revealed next week. In the past months, “Will of Crota” has been crowned Nightfall more often than any other strike. And it has also appeared in 4 flavors, with the others only in one.
The modifiers for the Dusk Strike “Will of Crota” on April 28 in Destiny
- Nightfall – Should all Guardians lose their lives, it goes back to orbit, and the strike is reset
- Epic – makes enemies meaner, nastier, and generally more sinister than their counterparts on lower difficulty levels
- Solar Burn: Solar damage is significantly increased, applies to enemies as well
- Arc Burn: Arc damage is also significantly increased
- Void Burn: And even Void Burn is somehow emptier than usual.
In the heroic Weekly, Solar Burn is active
Are there recommendations for weapons? What is strongest against Omnigul?
This week Guardians have quite a free choice of weapons. For Omnigul, the automatic rifle Abyss Dreader is recommended. Otherwise, the classic “Heavy Hitters” are in demand. A solar rocket launcher like Crota’s Hunger or Gjallarhorn; a sniper rifle like Black Spindle or Eisbrecher. And in the primary slot maybe Writ of the Soul or Ir Yût’s Fang.
Gear that supports specials can also be strong here. The Voidwalker Obsidian Combo for instance, or Titans can equip strong heavy weapons like Ruins Wings.
Those who have multiple characters can change their loadout from time to time. This brings a bit of variety and probably doesn’t make much of a difference.
One could also go retro here with the Vision of Confluence and Fatebringer – but this will probably become the new normal with House of Wolves anyway. Then there’s no more retro, just all weapons are equal.
Tips, tricks, and safe spots: How to tackle Omnigul in Destiny
We will present videos of successful runs in the “Will of Crota” throughout the day. You can take inspiration from them for your own heroic deeds.
Until then: take a look around here, where there are the runs from the last time when rainbow Omnigul was active.
In the 3-person team, our friend Nexxos tackles the Yoko Ono of Destiny. The perspective holder plays with Abyss Dreader – Black Spindle – Thunderlord and Obsidian Will. The two partners are gathering Orbs, the Void super takes care of a lot of minor enemies, and that carries them through the strike. And the safe spot is a suicide spot at the end, but it works. Clean job, well explained.

This video is not very educational, but certainly what many are looking forward to: Triple-Burn – Triple-Gjallarhorn against Omnigul. By the way, the whole thing works similarly with shotguns and a blinding Titan bubble, but in that case, as often in Destiny: Keep calm and use Gjallarhorn.
