History of Swordbearer

Revision 1210 by archivist at 2026-10-01 18:14:50

Swordbearer is the title for the Crota's End raid seal (18 triumphs). No opened source gave the seal's introduction date beyond it launching with the raid's return.

Overview

  • Activity: Crota's End Raid, including its Master version.
  • Title granted: Swordbearer.
  • Time: at least four weeks, because Conquest By Virtue needs every weekly challenge on Master.
  • Gilding / availability: not covered by the opened sources; no retirement noted.

Triumphs

  1. Crota's End (triumph) - complete any version of the raid.

Tips

Master imposes a -20 power delta and Champions; GameRant/TheGamer recommend healing support such as Banner of War and Well of Radiance. Source notes differ in how they sort the 8 encounter challenges, so check each triumph's in-game text.
