Just came across a "new" strategy on Reddit where you kill the flailing sister (Ir Halak) first instead of the other one. This is the kind of thing that I would have thought had already been discovered and would have been the first thing our group tried if our friendly *cough*asshole*cough* guide hadn't specifically told us that attacking the angry red sister would cause us to wipe instead of letting us figure out the encounter on our own.

I don't know that the snipers have really been an issue more than once or twice in all of the times I've done the raid, but it might help just having one less thing to look out for.

Our clan did this method our very first blind Raid run, so it's really weird hearing it as breaking news.

It's about timing; if your group is tight and your randomly-chosen runner can get to the daughter fast enough, sure. For our clan, we tended to be more concerned about "keeping it going" because we would be successful as long as we didn't wipe; if it took 3 rounds or 4, who cares.

Killing the singing daughter doesn't give you any safety net. Once you kill that first one, you must kill the second one on the next round, and it will be at 100% health. And on hard mode, you don't have as much time to set up for the second run, so you potentially have a smaller window in which to do damage.

Like Golgoroth, just choose the method that is best for your group.
