I prefer to stay up there and snipe it. Sniper 6 bullet with Ice Breaker and start watch your back from Ancient Bitxh.

Doable if you are 2lv lower then the strike you choose. Ezier if you are titan with defender class.

Remark: Applicable for Warlock, Titan, and Hunter.

Actually its not that hard to stay alive. I will share some tips on how I do it, I am also a newb so I think it might be useful for you also.

To kill can be hard but staying alive in strikes are most of the time easy. Just need patience. Do not rush if not confident. Get yourself familiarized with long range weapons like Scout Rifles, Sniper Rifles and some close range weapons like Hand Cannon and Fusion rifles. You can also standby a few rocket launchers of different burns. They key is to keep a distant away from the mob group. Pick them out one by one . Take your time and get precision shots coz you probably won't have the luxury to run out and grab ammos, so every single shot must count. Then proceed to move slowly. James bond style sikit.
When you do the normal ROC or Tiger strikes, try to get yourself familiarized with different strike maps. They will rotate in the Weekly/Nightfall every tuesday. I usually spend my time to do them and find spots where I could camp, especially for the final part. Last night I think I found a spot for Nexus should that strike ever appear in Nightfall/Weekly. (Now the only thing that bugs me is the "Undying mind boss fight" part, I've yet to discover a spot I can sembunyi  )

It all boils down to strategy and planning bro, gears and weapons helps alot but they don't mean anything if your team is wiped and you don't wanna get wiped in nightfalls. I learn that the hard way. Form a team of 3 with your close pals and from there work on co-ordination and teamwork. Personally to me la, I don't just enjoy Destiny as a game, I enjoy the teamwork and partnership that leads to success more.

red death definitely.

Yeah, what most people said.
It's technically "safer" but it's the same for every other classes actually.

No worries lah, if fail there's always a second time(I mean, how many tries we took to get through the first part anyway )
And must remember, we were just doing it for fun too. I was surprised we managed to get that far pretty easily too lol
Feels awesome when I got that off from Ir Yut last night after calling it out
