The Raid Mastery series is a passion project I have been eager to make for quite some time, and I'm glad that it's finally underway. In each of these videos you will find tons of useful and up-to-date knowledge you can apply to your clears of the raid in question, ranging from simple things to full on skips and speedrun tech. The goal is to deliver high level speedrun tech and condense into a form suitable for LFG that anyone can easily learn and pickup, as I think the experience is a lot more enriching and fun when done optimally. Today we end off with Crota's End, which I'm sure many can agree is the best reprised raid to date. Recently I took part in a Crota's End speedrun tournament, and by doing so learned so much about how to optimally complete the raid, most of which I will be sharing today. The encounters in Crota's End are actually very movement focused when it comes to optimizing, with abyss and bridge being dominated by Strand movement. In fact, the darkness subclasses play large roles throughout the whole raid, like on Ir Yut for example, where warlock Shadebinders are used to quickly kill wizards. Out of all the encounters though, bridge is by far the most complex, and the true optimal strat is so complex that I've actually decided to relegate it to its own separate video coming soon. All in all though, a pretty fun raid to run optimized. Please enjoy and I hope you learn something!
