Clarification? (Destiny)

You can intentionally run with a man down for the full duration of the Calus "skull" phase to maximize the damage multiplier - just pick them up after you drop Calus's shield.

Huh?

Long story short is that the spawn rate of the skulls in the shadow realm can be manipulated. It's based on how many are in the shadow realm vs. how total living fireteam size. So you can run four people in shadow realm and only two in throne room to get more skulls to spawn, so you can get a larger multiplier.

However, for many players, it's easy to get overwhelming in the throne room with only two people. So you can use the typical 3 and 3 method to keep things manageable. When you get to where skulls are going to spawn, one person in the throne room can commit suicide, which will increase the skull spawn rate, even though there are still only three in the shadow realm. Previously, the 30 second timer could potentially make this a tricky operation. The death had to be timed well to really get a good benefit. Now, with a much longer revive timer, it will be much easier.
