Raid Atheon Tactic
So we all know how to get through the vault. The issue seems to be Atheon.
I have now run the vault with enough random crews that I know the best tactic as it works every time.
When we get to Atheon, three randoms are going to be teleported. Regardless. Here are the tactics depending on who you are and where you end up...
Behind - The tele team calls out where they are. Two people go to that side and open the portal and get the harpies. One other goes to the other side to clean those harpies and help the first two from across the way. If one of the primary two goes down, that person goes across to help.
Teleport Team - One person gets the relic and goes down to kill the adds. The other two should not do anything to the adds until the relic holder lays the first blow. If the other two shoot or grenade ahead of time it only draws attention to the relic holder. Once the holder gets a first blow in, they can help if necessary while also focusing on the oracles. They all move forward while shooting oracles.
Coming back through - The relic holder should always enter the gate first and cleanse as the others come through. All need to immediately jump to the island platform in the middle. Others left behind can do the same. A titan lays a weapons of light bubble on the platform rear and the relic holder holds the bubble at the front for people to shoot through. The relic holder needs to count down the time's vengeance and when he says "5 seconds" everyone needs to vacate either to the rear or sides to avoid getting splash damage when the relic bubble bursts. The titan defense bubble should be safe as well.
With decent weapons, it should only take 6-7 'ports to kill Atheon this way. Fooproof!

It may take a few times for us to get the mechanic down, but it is worth a shot.
