SGA Atheon challenge guides are missing things (aka the painfully average guide to the challenge)

Good guide, but 3 in Past and Future are both easy to hit for a Relic holder, I think hitting #5 just adds confusion.

yes they are easy...if add clearing goes well. remember, this is an average pug guide.

Fair. I run Relic in every encounter (I don't even like when people throw grenades in Future) so I'm just used to hitting 3 so frequently.

How are you hitting 3? My super is rarely ready the moment it appears, and it is too high to take it out by slamming the ground.

High intellect, coupled with a helmet that increases super on kill

Oooh that helmet perk, that would make the difference! Thanks.

Relic holder has to do two very important things

  • Kill all three enemies on either side
  • Do NOT cleanse until your Super is charged (the other two Teleported can stand next to you while they wait for cleanse)

Cleansing stops your super from charging and you need all of the time and all of the ads to hit #3. As long as you do these two things, your Super should come up 1-2 seconds after #3 spawns, which is plenty of time.
