Had a blast running both challenge modes this week; even landed 3/4 armor pieces. We did the templar on our first attempt, and Atheon went pretty smooth on day 2 (under 20 minutes).

Yeah, it was a lot of fun to head back into the Vault with everyone! Here're my view points from Atheon, and then we did a second run on alts and ended up running the other strategy for Relic holder.

Atheon Challenge (pay attention to my impeccable timing at the end):

Templar Challenge (as Relic holder):

And Atheon, Round 2:

Nice, I remember talking about it, but I didn't realized you killed yourself inside my bubble.

Why not dash into the harpies? Trigger pull, not melee . One hit Kill, closes distance faster.

You spent that whole Templar fight with basically no shields. It was unnerving. I wonder if this is a place you would want to have that orb pickup causes shield reign perk I normally hate?

(My strategy is much more sedate and cowardly).

Yeah, that perk would have been handy. But constantly-low health really incentivizes you to get your butt in gear and move across the map!
