‘Destiny’ Weekly Reset For March 15: Warpriest Challenge And Shield Brothers
Destiny is still a couple of weeks away from the next in-game event and an even longer time away from the promised spring update. For the week starting Tuesday, March 15, PlayStation and Xbox players can keep themselves busy with the Warpriest challenge and a run through with the Shield Brothers for Nightfall.
King’s Fall Raid Challenge Mode — Warpriest (Guide)
The first challenge for the King’s Fall Raid Challenge should be a snap for those experienced with the encounter already. The fireteam must ensure that no one player holds the aura during the damage phase more than once.
Since it typically takes three to five phases to take out the Warpriest, the fireteam just needs to have the players who last held the aura not step on a plate. Expert teams that can take the Destiny boss down in two phases shouldn’t have any trouble.
Possible rewards for the challenge on Normal include a 310 Light level Artifact and 310 Light level weapon, and one of the missing Calcified Fragments along with the normal chance at an Exotic. The rewards on Hard mode are a 320 Light level Artifact and 320 Light level weapon, plus the “Worm God’s Servant” emblem and the Calcified Fragment. You can get the Normal mode rewards in Hard mode in addition to the 320 level rewards.
Nightfall — Shield Brothers

Court of Oryx (Guide)
Tier 3: Balwur
The Wizard Balwur may be the easiest Tier 3 boss to appear in the Court of Oryx yet. The hook with her is that the floor of the court is covered in poison except for the area underneath the platform. Balwur spawns on top of the platform, while Major Acolytes, Knights, and Thrall will spawn and move around the arena. The platform is poison-free but obviously dangerous, because Balwur will shoot players and drop poison clouds.
Players will need to kill Major Acolytes to create poison-free spaces outside of the safe zone underneath the platform for a period of time. Players can then move out from underneath the platform, into the poison-free areas, and shoot Balwur. Repeat as many times as necessary to bring her down.
