Become a SWORD RUNNER Today!
Always stuck looking for a sword runner (swordbearer - not the evil, duck all your sniper bullets kind)?
Check out this walkthrough and learn how to become a sword runner today!
Learn how to run the sword on Crota's End Hard Mode here - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PnSn91sVFj4
It may take some practice but anyone can do it with any class. The obvious difference between classes is invisibility. Warlocks and Titans require better timing and communication with teammates. Titans and Warlocks should use the ledge as cover and as your team rockets Crota, you jump up and start swinging. On the 3rd hit just jump and quick swing away to the either side and repeat. Try practicing on normal mode first.
Let's hear what you think in the comments below or leave some of your own tips and tricks on sword running.

1 ReplyFOR ANYONE WHO HAS NEVER RUN THE SWORD AND IS A HUNTER SIMPLY GRAB THE SWORD RUN TO THE ROCK ON THE RIGHT KNEEL COUNT DOWN FROM 3 AND THEN JUMP AND WHILE SIMULTANEOUSLY CALLING OUT YOUR ROCKETS then hack away. you will easily get 3 hacks in per kneel which will easily kill him (hard mode) in three swords. As you get more experience start working on your timing you can usually start taking chunks of crota's health out right before he kneels. This is all about timing I like to look at his health and count the wave of rockets...after the first wave hits and I see his shields at about a quarter then I hear of the whistlers of the oncoming rockets thats when I start hacking again. If you work on this and get good you can two sword him then. another tip is always blink strike him right in the ass (I like to jump and blink strike) this will reduce the chances of him whacking you right after you go inviz. Another tip for hunters is that you dont need the titan bubble. Just kneel on the rock and count down from three the second you go inviz call in the rockets...if you stay near the back of crota's platforms the boomers should ignore you (9/10 times they do). use jump and the melee button to superman away from crota after your done licking him with the sword...if sword disappears and your a hunter activate blade dancer and air melee the hell out of there and use vanish. Crota engrages at or around the "C" so watch that I think it takes 15 RT slams for enrage. thats all you need to know to run sword. Its not hard please dont get impressed when these hunters run the sword and are able to get his health down to half on first run...its just not hard. Soloing a gatekeeper portal is harder than running the sword honestly. If you need practice join a raid team dont tell them you suck at sword and just practice who cares (thats what I did). Lets help this community grow and eliminate those sword bearers that feel "special" because they are good at a very specific and easy task :)
