Speed Run Tips
- See also: Speed Run Strikes Guide
- This strike is pretty straight forward and involves a lot of chasing down Psions.
- Most rooms in this strike are cleared when you finally find and kill the yellow health bar Psion. So try and memorize where they spawn to expedite their deaths.
- The Flayers: They Flayers are also a big pain just because there are three of them. I have found the most effective way to do them is to just be methodical. First clear the room. Next, focus on one Psion. Once it is dead clear the enemies that spawn and focus on the next Psion and so on and so forth. You entire team should have their full attention on one Psion at a time just to make sure their shields never recharge.
- To kill them really quickly it is possible to knock them off the edge with rockets, but won't rely on this method.
Psion Flayers
Psion Flayers are superior versions of Cabal Psion type of enemies. Psion Flayers' weakspots is their heads. Fire at them for critical damage.
Attacks
Rifle: Rifle fire is Psion's primary attack
Psionic Blast Wave:This attack is a powerful wave that travels towards a player along the ground. The wave deals damage to all players in its path. Players can either move out of its way or time their jumps to jump over it. When Psion levitates with its arms to its sides, it is about to use the attack.
Strategy
Psion Flayers are quite quick and nimble. They will use attempt to dodge your attacks and use cover. Each Flayer has a different type of shield. Vatch has Solar shield, Kolar has Arc shield and Numoc has Void shield. A team of players with weapons of various types of damage might be handy.
- Blue Shield of Kolar is weak to Arc damage, Purple Shield of Numoc is weak to Void damage and Orange Shield of Vatch is weak to Solar damage.
Because Psion Flayers are fast and nimble, rapidly firing weapons such as Auto Rifles and Machine Guns might be effective against them. The boss room is also quite wide-open, long range weapons can be employed.
When Psions hide behind cover, you can use grenades and other explosives to force them out. You can also double team them with your teammates to get them out of cover. Your entire fireteam should focus on killing 1 Flayer at a time. Without focus fire, you can perpetually allowing the bosses to regenerate their shields.
As waves of Cabal adds spawn, do not allow them to overwhelm you. You can use Sniper Rifles to kill some adds from far away before going back to the boss.
- When your teammates are dead or when you're heavily damage, sprint and jump to the other side of the courtyard to regain health and wait for teammates to respawn.
Tips and Tricks
A Titan Striker Fist of Havoc attack executed while a Psion Flayer is near the edge of a platform can push it over to its death, even when it has full health and shields.
