Third-ish strategy? (Destiny)

I ran this a couple times on Tuesday. The center/right crossover is definitely the better approach - it's faster to the supercharge and the slam. In order for it to work, everyone on the team needs to fully understand what to do in each situation, and it's critical to call out the teleport location as soon as possible (non-empowered guardians can watch him). The empowered folks may not be able to see Aksis teleport, so they need to move to the right place on the call-out. While doing damage, it's critical to re-identify and position the newly empowered guardians as fast as possible - even if it means not doing damage.

This is what we attempted last night with limited success. We'd have a few good cycles and then someone would be out of position, or we'd be just a bit slow to supercharge and then miss the stun. Call-outs were slow and unreliable, so we opted to have the stunner just count to three between the teleport and the stun and hope that the supercharge happened. I think it got better with that method, but we were still pretty disorganized and just couldn't get all the pieces to fall into place consistently.

Something I read about last night that may be worth a try is having the left and right empowered players stand on the discharge plates and just hold X/square while looking at their teleport location. If the plate activates beneath them, they'll automatically discharge, and if Aksis teleports in front of them, they're ready to sprint in for the stun. Even the slow, floaty warlocks should be able to get from the plate to Aksis without too much trouble ;)

The middle empowered guardian obviously can't stand on the charge plate since Aksis teleports directly on top of it, but if they hang out on the front stairs, they'll still be in a position where they can cover front and back teleports. As long as non-empowered guardians are watching to call out the teleport, they should still be able to make it to either position.
