Destiny's Hardest Boss Now Easier To Kill

​

Destiny's level 35 Prison of Elders arena has become the most difficult mode in the game, and the final Skolas encounter has become one of the most memorable events of Destiny. According to Bungie's records over 370,000 Teams have killed Skolas since last month when the House of Wolves expansion launched.

The Skolas battle isn't so perfect after all, So far many members have been reporting unfair conditions that make it too intense. In response to the reports Bungie is releasing a new update to tone the difficulty a little meaning the Skolas fight will be more consistent week after week. A cycle of series of buffs and optimizations to arc,void or solar damage can cause the difficulty to shift instantly making the boss more difficult to kill. It can even get to the point where it is nearly impossible to kill Skolas. Using a elemental can cause the difficulty to arise to that state. This makes it too tempting to rely on a tactic Such as (three Gjallarjorns on a Solar Burn).

Bungie will be removing all the elemental burns in the update, This is intended to increase the predictability of the encounter and he flexibility of options for players. Bungie will also lower Skolas overall health to compensate. By them doing this they will be making it so more enemies spawn and the composition of the enemy waves will be changed slightly.
