There isn't really a set of solid advice for Trials. Every match is different, every team has different strategies. Each map also comes with their own strategies (you can easily find commonly used strategies on YouTube) as well. If flanking the opposing team isn't working, then try something else. Don't stick on one strategy if it isn't working, that's an easy loss on your side. Also make sure that your team's communication is good. Use call outs and discuss different strategies before and during the match. Make sure to stay generally close to your team so if one dies then you can be there to revive (make sure the down teammate stays on the location of the enemy). Watch out during heavy round, stay farther apart instead of one giant bunch. If hanging back works better for your team, then don't rush up. And vice versa. It's safer to hang back in my opinion. It's not like regular Crucible where you rush and carelessly run in the open. Also, speak with your team about supers and when to use them and whatnot (obviously use rocket launchers). Buffs can also help out with winning. My team's order used to be; Before 1st round : Buy Favor of Osiris Before 6th round : Buy Mercy of Osiris (you can get it before round 5 too I suppose) Before 8th round : Buy Boon of Osiris (two wins would make 9 wins) My loadout is; Thorn Matador 64 Gjallarhorn (on heavy round/Truth is also pretty good) I'm usually a self-res Warlock w/ Purifier Robes but I've been using a Bladedancer (probably switching to Gunslinger) Hunter w/ Lucky Raspberry (Khepri's Sting is fun on The Burning Shrine if you're familiar with the exotic/if you're Gunslinger try Achylophage Symbiote or Crest of Alpha Lupi) Hope this helps. If I think of anything else then I'll edit it in.
