You may be met with heavy resistance, together with a slew of Champions, Turrets, and an enormous yellow-bar Colossus. This portion isn’t too tough to take care of, however might burn up a life or two if some Guardians aren’t cautious. Nevertheless, the worst is but to come back.
The tank room is arguably probably the most difficult portion of the Strike and has led many fireplace groups again to orbit in a brief matter of time. Guardians will drop down into an enormous open room full of quite a few Cabal enemies, together with two Cabal Interceptors on the left and proper sides. Clearing out the enemies isn’t too tough. Nevertheless, the 2 Interceptors can and can one-shot gamers no matter distance.

When each Interceptors are destroyed, the subsequent section will start, the place two Cabal Tanks will seem on the left and proper sides of the room, together with one other wave of enemies, and Champions. As one would anticipate, the tanks can very simply one-shot gamers, even in a Nicely of Radiance.

Enemy density is the secret right here, and by the top of the Strike, every Guardian could have lots of of kills beneath their belt. The Heist Battleground: Mars is split into two sections: the opening space and the ultimate boss struggle.
The opening space is the doorway to the Bray Advanced, the place Guardians have to unlock it by capturing three factors unfold throughout the area. Two of them are surrounded by Hive forces, whereas Taken enemies engulf the third. The fireteam should seize all three to proceed to the subsequent space.
Nevertheless, what makes this portion so difficult is the sheer enemy density on every level, making it extremely tough to seize. From legions of Thrall and Acolytes to massive yellow-bar Knights and Ogres, to not point out your slew of Champions, most fireteams don’t make it out of this part alive.
Fortunately, if you happen to had been sturdy sufficient to make it by way of the opening part, the remaining half of the Strike isn’t too tough till the ultimate boss struggle.
Guardians might be met with a well-recognized face when getting into the ultimate boss area, a Darkblade Knight. Darkblade Knights have a generic theme of beginning sluggish, then quickly changing into harmful when sufficient harm is dealt to them, and this Knight isn’t any exception. Nevertheless, whereas the Darkblade himself isn’t too tough to take care of, the countless waves of Hive Wizards and Acolytes makes the issue spike in a short time.
Whereas many gamers weren’t thrilled with a seasonal exercise changing into a Grandmaster Dusk at first, the issue it supplied was a wonderful technique to counterbalance the hate it acquired.
3. Psi-Ops Battleground: Moon
Re-shaped right into a Grandmaster Dusk this Season, the Psi-Ops Battleground: Moon rapidly turned one of the vital difficult PvE actions within the sport.
Gamers have been asking for actions with excessive enemy densities for fairly a while now, and Bungie was clearly listening when turning this Battleground right into a Grandmaster Dusk. As quickly as you load into the strike, you might be met with lots of of the Lucent Brood, together with quite a few Anti-Barrier and Unstoppable Champions, to not point out a few Lucent Knights. Add-clear builds like Arc Titans or Void Warlocks might be ideally suited right here, in any other case you can be overwhelmed fairly rapidly.
Following that’s the Ritual room. The fireteam should defeat Hive Wizards that drop tributes, which should then be deposited into three altars on both sides of the room. This should be accomplished twelve occasions, all whereas being swarmed by unending waves of Wizards, Knights, Acolytes, and Thrall. After six tributes have been dunked, two Lucent Acolytes, and a few Champions, will even spawn on both sides. This portion is very chaotic, and if even one member of the fireteam dies, it’s difficult to recuperate from for the reason that enemies by no means cease spawning.
The ultimate boss struggle in opposition to the Lucent Wizard isn’t too tough, aside from one huge downside, the looks of the Witch Queen, Savathun, and a number of of her. When the boss’s well being reaches the primary gate, a shade of Savathun will seem, who will use her Tremendous skills to one-shot you.

Whereas it isn’t a correct strike, the Battlegrounds have been a terrific addition to the Grandmaster checklist when it comes to pure problem.
2. The Lightblade
Launched with the Witch Queen DLC, Alak-Hul, the Darkblade Knight from Future 1, has returned with a vengeance, reborn as a Lucent Hive. The Lightblade is arguably probably the most chaotic Grandmaster for a number of causes.
Beginning out, the fireteam might be met with quite a few Anti-Barrier Champions and a Lucent Knight. The Lucent Hive are borderline unfair to struggle in opposition to, particularly the Knight, because the Knight can throw one-shotting suppressor grenades and extra. To make issues worse, if you defeat the Lucent Hive, you even have to complete their Ghost off earlier than it respawns the Knight. You need to repeat this course of 3 times, as after the primary Knight is defeated, two extra spawn on the entrance of the room the place you first entered. Most groups don’t make it out of this room.
Nevertheless, if you happen to handle to outlive the onslaught of Lucent Hive, the subsequent hurdle is the swamp. If you enter the swamp, you’ll be hit with the darkness debuff the place you’ll acquire stacks of darkness and be continuously slowed. In the meantime, waves of screebs and Scorn snipers might be looking you down. The one technique to take away the darkness is to face subsequent to pillars of sunshine, just like these featured within the Future 1 Crota’s Finish Raid. This part is brutal, and continuously forces you to be on the transfer, and if you happen to keep nonetheless too lengthy, a screeb will creep up on you and explode.
Lastly, the Lightblade will await you in a small round area. He begins the struggle comparatively sluggish and easy, strolling round at a snail’s tempo, capturing Arc blasts at you. Remember, the Arc blasts will one-shot you, and he fires as much as ten in a single go. Nevertheless, issues go from zero to 100 in a short time.
After his well being reaches the primary gate, he’ll teleport away, and two yellow-bar Knights and a Lucent Knight will spawn. Defeating them will make the Lightblade seem as soon as extra. Nevertheless, when sufficient harm is dealt to him, his helmet will come off, and all hell breaks unfastened. The Lightblade will start working at full velocity on the participant closest to him whereas firing his Arc Blasts. To make issues worse, two Anti-Barrier Knights will spawn on both sides of the sector whereas the Lightblade is chasing you. Merely put, this whole struggle is the embodiment of chaos.
1. The Corrupted
It’s no secret how The Corrupted climbed its technique to changing into probably the most tough Grandmaster Dusk on launch. This Strike is jam-packed with a devious mixture of Scorn and Taken enemies, together with probably the most Champions in a Grandmaster on the time.
Proper out of the gate, gamers are first met with an abundance of annoying Overload Champions to enter the temple. Instantly after, the fireteam should survive the “elevator” part. Gamers should endure quite a few waves of highly effective enemies, who even have immune shields that may solely be eliminated by having an orb tossed at them. A whole lot of fireteams don’t make it by way of this part unscathed.
Following the elevator is the double Ogre boss struggle. The fireteam might be met with an enormous yellow-bar ogre within the regular realm. Nevertheless, roughly each 20 seconds, they are going to be teleported to the Taken ascendant realm the place they need to additionally slay an enormous yellow-bar Taken Ogre. The Guardians might be flip-flopping backwards and forwards between realms till each Ogres are slain. This doesn’t even embrace the quite a few waves of enemies coming after them, together with Champions to cease them from slaying the Ogres.
Assuming you make it by way of all that, you continue to have the ultimate boss to take care of, Sedia, one of many many Techeun Witches of Queen Mara Sov’s courtroom. Placing it bluntly, combating Sedia on the time of launch was a struggle in opposition to RNG. There are such a lot of transferring components to this struggle that it’s arduous all the time to maintain monitor of all the pieces.
In contrast to most bosses, Sedia is very cell, continuously altering positions, and by no means staying in a single place for too lengthy. This makes it extremely annoying to break her correctly, and that’s solely after you fend off waves of Taken Psions and Knights. Then, when allowed to break her, you possibly can’t be in her line of sight for too lengthy, as all of her assaults will one-shot you.
Ending the struggle can also be a nightmare, as after her well being reaches 50%, she teleports to the Taken Ascendant airplane to a small coliseum space the place there’s little to no cowl to keep away from her assaults. Undoubtedly, The Corrupted was, and nonetheless is, the hardest Grandmaster Dusk.
