Destiny Relic Guide

Now that the whole clan is raiding regularly, everybody needs to be comfortable with the relic. Below is a great guide on how to use it. You can ignore the Templar portion, we cheese him instead of the traditional method. For Gatekeeper, we have been having the relic holder go into both gates, but we can try having the first relic go to the conflux.

Now, the raid relic is a special object that completely replaces your kit and applies the kit of the relic, lets go over the basics of this kit.
Grenade = Cleanse, this is 100% necessary during the atheon or gatekeepers because your team mates will go blind without this cleanse, during templar fight you must cleanse your team mates if you do not take out the oracles in time.
Melee = Dash attack, if you are the same level as harpies, then you will one shot them, otherwise avoid using this unless you need to fly back to the entrance of the time gate after picking up the relic, just jump and Spam Melee and you will be there without touching the floor and will save a lot of time
Shoot = Smash attack, deals significantly more damage and has a little bit of a longer charge up time than the Melee Dash attack, always use this against minotaurs and anything with a shield.
Jump + Shoot = Ground pound, this is probably my favourite ability in the entire game, just because of how fun it is to use. This allows you to deal a fairly large AOE attack which will deal the same amount of damage as your smash attack but will have much more recovery lag (yes I am a smash player), always use this if you are on the left time gate, the one that looks like a desert to kill the hobgoblins during the atheon fight.
Now, during the templar fight your job will be to take care of adds mostly and try to kill as many oracles as you can, many people would advise against you killing oracles but if you are the same level as them and reach them in time you can 1 shot them with your super or your smash attack which is very useful. Now, you have to build up your super which is why you are killing the harpies, this is very important as once your super is built up, warn your team and fire it at the templar because once this happens his shield will drop and your whole team will be detained if i am not mistaken, if you are detained just hit the detainment barrier with your smash attack and it will 1 shot it. then your team must completely shoot the shit out of Templar before he teleports and his shield comes back up. rinse and repeat until templar is dead.
Now, with the gate keeper phase as soon as you get the relic, one of the relic holders must go to the centre as if you are level 28 you can 2 shot the red health minotaurs that spawn in the centre with your smash attack, these spawn pretty consistently and should be dealt with immediately, i normally use the ground pound and then wait for them to drop, then use a regular smash attack and they will die.
With atheon, when dealing with the venus minotaur, make sure you ask your team to help you by killing the goblins, this is all that is necessary, drop in and ground pound him, jump back and dodge his melee, and then smash attack him, rinse and repeat until the minotaur is dead, then go and cleanse your team, you need to ask the oracle team to stay together or else they not be cleansed by your bubble.
in the mars portal, try to ground pound all 3 hobgoblins at the same time, make sure you get no help with this part because if their shield is activated it will just damage you 9 times out of 10 and you will probably die, with this part you just need quick reflexes, dodge the hobgoblin bullets if possible and 1 smash attack will kill one of them.
Once you have obtained times vengeance, everyone will jump in the middle and shoot up atheon, you will hold the cleanse button, make sure you are in the top right corner of the middle platform and make sure you do not move, this will make sure you do not get splash damage, make sure everyone is in your bubble shield and communicate with your team when 5 seconds of time vengeance is left to run out, rinse and repeat until atheon is dead.
Congratulations! you have now learnt how to use the relic, it is by far my favourite part of the raid, it just requires you to put the effort and practice, practice is very important in dealing with a lot of the relic holding bits.
Thank you for your time and have a wonderful morning/night/afternoon/whatever the fuck the time in your area :)
