A Non-Native English Speaker’s First Salvation’s Edge Clear (Public Fireteam)

Hello, Guardians! English isn’t my first language, but I just joined an public fireteam and cleared the final boss of Salvation’s Edge! I started playing Destiny 2 because I love bows, and Non-Denouement was the last missing piece for me. But to get it, I had to complete one of the hardest raids—Salvation’s Edge. At first, I thought about giving up. But since it can drop from the 1st and 2nd encounters, they seemed a bit easier, so I went into the raid alone to explore the map and study how it works. My biggest challenge wasn’t the mechanics—it was English. I could understand some listening, but my speaking was about kindergarten level lol. Still, I gathered my courage and joined an public fireteam. I told them my English wasn’t great, and everyone was really kind. After some struggles, we cleared the 1st and 2nd encounters. I tried to speak only when needed because half my brain was raiding and the other half was translating English in real-time. 😂 Somehow, we reached the 3rd encounter. I hadn’t studied past that, so I planned to leave after that point—but thanks to what I learned about plates and res mechanics, and with the help of my teammates, we made it through. I still have no idea what the hell was going on in the 4th encounter lol. 🤣 The final boss actually felt easier—though all I did was clear mobs. Honestly, I never expected to clear the whole raid, but with great teammates, we did it. I wanted to say thank you properly, but I didn’t know how to express it in English at the time. So here it is now: Verdex – first-time raider like me, a fast learner and a kind teammate Slime – the super kind Sherpa who guided me from the 1st encounter Salad – patiently explained every single mechanic like a teacher Dreamer – my -blam!- buddy during the 2nd encounter Thank you all. You made this a wonderful memory for me. To anyone reading this whose first language isn’t English—study, be confident, and give it a try! And guess what? I finally got Non-Denouement! 🎉 [spoiler]Moderator edit: This thread has been updated with tags that are more appropriate.
