By far, one of the hardest aspects of The Pyramidion isn't the enemy a player will face, it is the number of enemies that if not careful can overrun a player in mere seconds that makes this strike so difficult. Add that with a barrage of enemies that can easily regenerate themselves and one will surely find themselves sweating bullets as they try to just stay afloat. This is one strike that allies and teamwork are crucial to a mission's success as there are no lone wolves in The Pyramidion. At least not ones that surv
