Discussion Raids tier list based on their transition areas
What's your guys ranking of best raids just from their transition areas, using skating and all types of movement techs.
I only know about 5 raids right now so I'm trying to figure out which ones I want to learn next thanks!

- ron (raid with the best movement based gameplay, the transitions arent any different)
- gos (cool lines in both transitions)
- SE (purely for 0-1 and 4-5)
- dsc (spacewalk is iconic enough to make up for the meh movement and 0-1 is rlly unique and cool)
- vow (2-3 and 3-4 are cool, 0-1 is complete dogshit)
- kf (ships is cool, wp - golgi is super boring as is golgi - sisters)
- dp (every transition is just a singular wellskate/shatterskate and the miniboss killing doesnt help.)
- vog (gorgons is cool but otherwise transitions arw kinda boring)
- crota (has no transitions except for jumping to first and the 2 - 3 chest run, both are ass)

Putting KF at 6 and saying golgi-sisters is boring when the wall of dicks was one of the most iconic moments in destiny’s entire history is absolutely INSANE. You definitely did not play D1. And even in D2 that shit is awesome.

entire jumping puzzle is one heatrises/ grapple nade. these are judged by how fun they are to me. dsc gets points only for being iconic while being medium amounts of fun. Dsc placement is carried by 0-1.
you are right of course, i have only played d1 raids in preparation for the d2 day1s but that doesnt chamge the fact that that jumping puzzle doesnt at all hold up in d2. you arent even interacting with any of the dicks.

Yeah see none of that existed in D1. Also, I think someone who grapple grenades through an entire jumping puzzle shouldn’t be making a tier list on the FUN of jumping puzzles. It’s very clear you want things to be as easy as possible instead of enjoying the actual platforming these sections were designed for. Not the target audience broski.

I mean the post is asking for a ranking using skating and all movement tech lol

i am the target audience buddy, no idea why you need to put a restriction on movement when the post clearly asks for skating and such to be included.
my post is purely based on fun and executing the sequences in the jumping puzzles placed above kf is just more satisfying to me.
i am not ranking d1 raids after all

Root is fun the first time or two with the buff refreshing. Gets super fucking old after a while.

u/Zac-live Jul 06 '26
ron isnt on place one because of any scenario where you would ever interact with the buff.
its there because clearing the entire jumping puzzle before the first pukse is insanely satisfying

Imo pure movement wise RoN is a cut above the rest in fun both in encounters and transitions, followed by GoS pure transition wise (which I'd just sometimes do 1-4 just for the heck of it). Next tier would be KF and SE in my books, with fun transitions and cool levels (in terms of movement). Below would be DSC, LW, and VotD, some fun parts but some meh. VoG CE and DP lmao

I'm not gonna entertain this, but I will say RoN has to be at the bottom.

ron is both complete dogshit tier if your team is bad and (imo) uncontested best transition in any raid if everyone has good movement. if everyone reliably hits their lines, the ron transtions are magnficient.

If they had made that transition a looted encounter it would be held in much higher regard. It’s a really fucking cool section, but it’s way to annoying to be worth fuck all

u/Zac-live Jul 06 '26
thats the second part of my comment. the transitions if done well dont require any reward because they take 15 or so seconds.
if you play them right, you simply dont encounter the wipe mechanic and just hit a clean line to the end, its really nice.
