Let’s start off with the weekly Nightfall for this week which is the Sunless Cell Strike.
The perks for this week’s Nightfall include:
Epic – As with any Nightfall, Enemies are heavily shielded and highly aggressive enemies appear in greater numbers.
Epic – As with any Nightfall, Enemies are heavily shielded and highly aggressive enemies appear in greater numbers.
Solar Burn - Solar Damage from any source is greatly
increased. Something like the Black Spindle would be extremely effective here.
Even a 1000 Yard Stare with Solar burn will make this week’s Nightfall that
much easier. If you have the Exotic Solar sword that would be a solid heavy
weapon especially if you have the uppercut unlocked.
Grounded - Players take more damage while airborne. Simple
enough to follow, will probably only be a problem for those players that like
jumping around non-stop. As long as you don’t do it when there is a room full
of adds and snipers and such everything should be just fine. Something that I do
personally is when I’m taking a lot of damage from adds is, I invariably jump up
to avoid taking more damage, which normally that would be fine but for this Nightfall its likely to get you killed even faster.
Fresh Troops - Some enemy squads have been fortified with
additional reinforcements. This one is just more annoying than anything else
and should only really be a problem for people trying to solo the nightfall. In
a fireteam of 3 I don’t see this one posing too much of a problem.
Catapult - Grenade recharge rate is greatly increased. This
one is a blessing of epic proportions especially for a Nightfall. Sunsinger
warlocks will love this one with max discipline and 2 fusion grenades. A Titan’s
thermite grenade would also be beastly coupled with something like the
Armamentarium which gives titans 2 grenades and you will be almost as formidable
as a Sunsinger Warlock.
The Sunless Cell Strike isn’t the toughest Strike in the
world but there are a few things you need to watch out for especially on
Nightfall. The majority of enemies, if not all of the enemies, are Taken but can
sometimes also have a few Hive enemies especially during the boss fight. With
that said the most troublesome of the lot are definitely the Boomer Knights,
Wtiches and Shriekers. The Boomer Knights hit hard and are extremely aggressive
on Nightfall. The witches will attack aggressively as well AND keep attacking incessantly.
Getting surrounded by a few knights and witches will ensure you’ll be dead in
no time. The same goes for the Shriekers, whose attacks really hurt on
nightfall, hence it is important to take your time and try and shoot them down
from behind cover with a sniper or possibly a heavy weapon as well. A key thing
to remember is that after a Shrieker dies it has an attack that follows you for
some time, running away a certain distance will ensure your survival while
getting hit by that attack will probably mean certain death especially on
nightfall.
The boss itself is a huge Hive knight named Alak Kul and a
good sniper like a 1000 Yard stare or Black Spindle would be the weapon of
choice along with some Solar heavy weapons like the raid machine gun. It is easy
enough to shoot the boss from a distance or from behind cover when there are no adds
around but get too close to him and he will absolutely melee you in the face
which is almost always a one shot kill.
Like I mentioned not the hardest nightfall by any means but
certainly a few things to look out for. This Nightfall will also have an
increased chance to drop a Strike specific Fusion Rifle and a Strike Specific
Titan helmet which resembles the bosses head.
As far as PvP for this week goes, Iron Banner has officially
ended and this week’s weekly crucible is Zone Control similar to normal control
except you only get points for capturing zones and not actual kills.
Lord Shaxx and Petra will also have new bounties for the
week so remember to check them out as well.
Also there is officially only one more week left till the
highly anticipated April update for Destiny where we will see new armor sets,
new strikes, new changes to PoE, Max Light level increase and much more. I for
one am definitely looking forward to the April update to Destiny Taken King.
