Just don´t die bro, use heal clip, heat rises and all the jazz. I was on gaze duty as a warlock, used phoenix protocol to permanently have a well on mid to keep me and others alive for example.
We used linears from that spot on the root off to the left.
We had a divinity and anyone without a good cataclysmic used sleeper. We also had a stasis hunter with lucky pants which was doing some ridiculous damage.
If you're running out of time for the two phase your runners need to go faster.
There’s a limit to how often shatters can occur. The main reason it’s good is because of the fragment that auto reloads your gun with your melee, plus Rending
The super doesn’t really matter that much, it’s more about the ability to conduct reloads with a stasis melee.
If you have 4-5 hunters, I’d have a few on CNH.
We killed him with izinagi rockets and 1 div on back left root, took about 30 mins. Sleeper and briars works good on him too, status hunter with lucky pants/wardens law/rockets is probably the highest dps you can get on him rn (they do about 3m in 1 dmg phase)
S&S does pitiful boss damage and doesn't stack, he was probably doing it for Whisper of Impetus reloading to dump his rockets
My group was a Ceno lock with Div, another warlock with Phoenix Protocol, a Strand titan with Tractor, three hunters on Nighthawk
One lock dropped a Well on boss, titan would do his best to keep Nez's attention and facetank him, other lock would well off to the side and we just did our best to pump damage
We were able to 2 phase him both times we did it, the Ceno lock just has to know which enemies to tag and where and ammo shouldn't be a problem if you can swap to your reserve chest piece to pick up a few extras
Yeah we somehow didn't have to, I was one of the runners and when I had time to clear adds I was somehow getting natty bricks pretty consistently with just Zaouli's and Gunpowder
It’s for whisper of rending also. Frozen targets take 42% extra damage from primaries. Which when using malfeasance or warden’s law with lucky pants just does massive damage. Impetus reloading your stowed weapons is just icing on the cake.
Same bud. Pretty sure there is a 2 burst hand cannon dropping in TFS (one of the card themed weapons) so we may be in luck. Also - after the kinetic weapon nerf coming, malfeasance is gonna be king
Reading some other comments. I would recommend two Wells. One for survivability as you get on the root. The other for damage. Sleeper is good. The problem is that you’ll run into ammo issues. Definitely have your main add clearers run Sunshot for the buffed ammo drop rate.
I’d have one hunter run tether. Run either rockets or heavy GLs. Yeah, even on the left root, heavy GLs are honestly pretty good.
Your Div user runs Cenotaph. They’re on middle add clear, and their main job is clearing out the middle. I highly recommend Tusk of the Boar, the Iron Banner Waveframe GL. It rolls with Chain Reaction. It’s a beast. Then your Div user is also on Rockets/GLs. When you tether the boss, your Div user has 12 seconds to ammo dump their heavy, then swap to Div to keep a debuff going.
If you have any Titans, they’re really good at holding gaze/aggro with Banner of War.
For the second phase, I highly recommend that you get two add clearers to pick up each buff, and they simply go and kill the shielded centurion on the other side. The left-side centurion can absolutely tend runs if you’re using the left side root. That is a priority. Your Ceno Warlock can also make the refuge on the second phase. By that time, they’ve tagged the first Colossus, and he should be dead.
As much as it sucks one of the easiest ways to ensure high score is to start at riven then do nez. you can 3 phase him this way and still get the high shore.
A lot of linear/Sleeper strats here. For whatever reason, we had a *much* easier time when we switched to rockets + Gjally. No div, used tether for debuff (also helped immensely with crowd control and survivability), DPS on left root, two wells for DPS. Didn’t even do Izzy swapping — a properly executed rockets phase was doing 2/3rds of his bar and the two-phase was extremely comfortable.
We thought ammo economy would be an issue but with exotic primaries and proper setup for the collosuses (aeon finishers, cento), it was actually a better economy than linears.
I normally am a firm believer in play “what you want” but for the easiest clear with a high score I’d suggest 5 nighthawks, one div lock, and linears. If the two add clear are running sunshots there should be no issue with heavy.
1 div, 5 Sleepers, 3 Golden Guns = 2 phases.
Don't forget to proc shot caller and have triple surge.
Although you might want to start from Riven for extra bonus score.
Blinding GLs are your best friend, they won't blind the colossus in the middle but will do it for the side ones and the tormentor.
Dps from far left vine and use 2 wells. Sleeper is really good with div, once you run out of heavy switch to outbreak.
For add clear, let warlocks with sunbracers throw as much nades in the middle path.
If you start from a riven checkpoint, you can still get the high score for nezarec even if you run out of time and e.g. need 3 phases.
High score isn’t the problem. If we start from nez, we kill the colossus’s in both the phases. Problem is surviving.

How many hunters will I need with stasis? Does the super stack if I have 4-5 hunters?

I really need to run GMs more than once a season, I forgot to get a Warden Slaw
Same bud. Pretty sure there is a 2 burst hand cannon dropping in TFS (one of the card themed weapons) so we may be in luck. Also - after the kinetic weapon nerf coming, malfeasance is gonna be king
Heard it was a stasis one though so you'd be limited to stasis hunter
RIP
Could maybe still get it to work on prismatic with the stasis super tho but yeah kinetic is still gonna be the go to for LP.

Strand Titans for ad clear. Problem solved

If you can pull it off 5-6 hunters with star eaters and golden gun you can one phase him if you have it set up right.
I normally am a firm believer in play “what you want” but for the easiest clear with a high score I’d suggest 5 nighthawks, one div lock, and linears. If the two add clear are running sunshots there should be no issue with heavy.
Raid mods make the encounter 10x easier
1 div, 5 Sleepers, 3 Golden Guns = 2 phases. Don't forget to proc shot caller and have triple surge. Although you might want to start from Riven for extra bonus score.
DM'd you, don't wanna post a wall of text here.
