How To Carry ANYONE Through The Aksis Challenge Mode (Video and Written Explanation)

I'll keep this really short because I know how much you guys hate long posts. The video is a full explanation and I recommend watching that. A lot of people (according to the forums) aren't good enough or don't have the time to learn the Aksis Challenge Mode. Again, according to you guys, every group you play with is bad and don't know what they're doing. There's a way to counter these problems to an extent. [b]The Premise[/b] You need 3 "Experts" on the fireteam, and 3 Sunsingers. The idea is for the Sunsingers to commit suicide at the same time, which guarantees the Experts become Empowered. Since these Experts are experienced with the Supercharge, they’ll always be responsible for Supercharging and slamming Aksis. This will ensure the Challenge Mode objectives are met for the entire team. The Sunsingers stay dead until Empowerment is no longer handed out, then resurrect and support the Experts in the damage phase. [b]More Detail If You're Interested[/b] During the Shanks phase, nothing changes from your regular strategy. When Empowerment is dished out as the Captains spawn, it does not matter who is Empowered and there should be no discussion about who is Empowered, because it will be transferred to the Experts later on. Each pair will take down their Captain. The Sunsingers have to pick up the Cannon and the Experts have to throw SIVA bombs. This is because Aksis teleports after he’s hit with the last bomb. For the timing to work out, the Experts need to be Empowered when they throw the last bomb. Otherwise, you’d be in a situation where a Sunsinger throws the last bomb and then must quickly die as Aksis is already moving. It cuts it too tight, so it’s better if the Experts throw. After picking up the Cannons, the Sunsingers will take out their three Servitors. I recommend bringing the Cannons to the middle and then suiciding off of the stairs that face Aksis’s default position. You’ll resurrect right beside the Cannon and be able to DPS Aksis immediately after respawning. Once the Sunsingers are dead, the three Experts will become Empowered automatically. They will then get into their Empowerment positions and throw their last bombs, causing Aksis to teleport. One guardian Supercharges, another stuns Aksis. Aksis teleports for the second time. One guardian Supercharges, another stuns Aksis. After the second Aksis stun, Empowerment will be distributed for the third and final time in that rotation. The Sunsingers can now resurrect themselves, since there is no more opportunity for them to be Empowered. The three Experts will Supercharge and stun Aksis one last time, and the whole team damages Aksis. You simply rinse and repeat this until Aksis is dead. Even with half of the team dead for part of the fight, there is more than enough time to get your damage in. While on my Defender, my team was able to kill Aksis in two phases using this strategy. If we can do it in 2, your team can surely beat it in 3 or 4. In case teams are struggling with damage, let me give a few of my best practices. [b]If You're Looking For A Carry[/b] I’m comfortable enough to help people with this. So on weeks where Aksis Challenge Mode is active and I’m not feeling the Trials map, I’ll be offering free help with my clan on the weekends (I'm not sure about this weekend with family stuff and whatnot). We’ll run raffles and hopefully help as many people as possible, so make sure you follow my twitch (https://www.twitch.tv/dukaness) and twitter (https://twitter.com/dukaness_lmdt). Duke
