Had a fantastic run through the Trials of Osiris with Thee Chaos and Cody last night. Played 5 rounds on our first card, then lost a couple games. So we started on a fresh card and everything clicked. We fell into our groove, and proceeded to defeat 7 teams in a row; earning our trip to the Lighthouse without even using our "mercy" buff.

Our basic strategy involved a rotating "pincer move". Widow's Court essentially has 4 "lanes" that connect the high and low sides of the map. We would send 2 players down 1 lane together while the 3rd player went wide down another lane. If our pair of guardians found the enemy team first, they would engage while our lone wolf moved into position for a flanking maneuver. If the lone wolf found the enemy first, they would stay put or pull back. Our duo would double back and split up; one of us moving to join the lone wolf and form a new front line, while the new lone wolf would flank.

We would constantly shift our approach between different lanes depending on what the enemy team was doing. If they were sniping down the middle 2 lanes, we would go far left and far right. If they were taking up position in the broken building, one of us would go left-middle while the other 2 went far right. We would lose a round every now and then, but were always able to learn from our mistakes and come back with a successful counter move.

A few highlights of the night:

Comeback Round

One of the more intense rounds of the night: I found myself being the last guardian standing twice in 1 round, but managed to fight off the enemy team and get the revives so we could secure the win.

Super Denial

This one was probably the most decisive victory I've ever been a part of in the Trials. We were expecting trouble going in to a match against 3 self-resing warlocks, but by the end of the game we had defeated them without a single one of them charging their super meters. We held their team to 3 total kills for the entire game.

Nail in the coffin

With 8 wins on our card and the mercy buff in our back pockets, we went into this final game feeling confident but determined. Appearing to be somewhat evenly matched, we split the first 2 rounds. Then Cody, Chaos and I turned on the jets. I went on a 10-0 kill streak to help win the game and secure our ticket to the lighthouse. This match also features some of our best rotations and positing from the night, so anyone looking to get a feel for how to approach Widow's Court might want to give it a watch.

So thanks to Chaos and Cody for the fun times last night, and good luck to everyone else heading into the Trials over the next couple of days!
