Sync Plates

Overview

Sync Plates are Vex floor plates in the Vault of Glass Gatekeepers encounter. Standing on one opens a portal: left to the past (Mars) and right to the future (Venus).

Mechanic

Praetorians spawn and try to recapture plates. A Praetorian on a plate turns it red and closes its portal, and a red Oracle then spawns that can wipe the team if not destroyed. The usual approach is to keep three players defending and send three through to kill the Gatekeeper.
