Undo revision 238028 by 69.147.1.136 (talk) Swapper is more appropriate, since you swap roles (buffed and unbuffed). Split implies you would keep the buff while giving part of it away, but you don't.

Once pushed back, stepping up the first set of short stairs and approaching the force field will prompt Rhulk to summon his glaive, applying stacks of Pervading Darkness to all fireteam members. Shooting the glaive above his head will break it, providing a Leeching Force buff to the Guardian dealing the killing blow. It is advised that the Guardian breaking the Glaive use a long range weapon, such as a scout or pulse rifle, to make their job easier. It can take a few hits before breaking. Now comes the tactics, where you will need to assign specific roles to the fireteam.

Now comes the tactics, where you will need to assign specific roles to the fireteam.


'''Splitter''': The role of Splitter is to ensure that at least one Guardian holds the Leeching Force buff at all times. If your fireteam loses this, Rhulk will re-summon his glaive and begin applying Pervading Darkness again. Repeating this 3 times will mean the glaive will become invincible, ensuring the fireteam will be wiped when Pervading Darkness stacks reach 10.
'''Swapper''': The role of Swapper is to ensure that at least one Guardian holds the Leeching Force buff at all times. If your fireteam loses this, Rhulk will re-summon his glaive and begin applying Pervading Darkness again. Repeating this 3 times will mean the glaive will become invincible, ensuring the fireteam will be wiped when Pervading Darkness stacks reach 10.


There is a plate in the middle ground of the lowest part of the arena, and standing on this while under the influence of Leeching Force will summon two Darkness Cruxes in the far back of the arena. When two Guardians shoot these and break them, Leeching Force will be applied to them, and removed from the initial Splitter, giving the role its name. You just need to swap the buff to other Guardians to keep things rolling.

If you are a designated Splitter, be careful not to be hit by Rhulk's beam of Darkness energy attack. Being hit by this will transform your buff into Emanating Force, which cannot be swapped to other Guardians. Also be aware of the timer on your Leeching Force. Once it hits 0, you will die.

'''Dunker''': The role of the Dunker involves taking Leeching Force, and then transforming it into Emanating Force by being hit by Rhulk's beam of Darkness. Once Emanating Force is held, it must be deposited at a specific point in the raid arena to push back the force field, allowing the fireteam to progress the fight. Possessing Emanating Force means the barrier will no longer push you back.
