==Rewards==

*{{Gamerscore|5}}
*[[Ascetic harness|Ascetic]] chest [[Armor customization (Halo 3)|armor permutation]] for use by [[Sangheili|Elite]] characters.

==Tips==
An easy way to get this achievement was to acquire the [[Gravity hammer (fiction)|gravity hammer]] on [[Guardian (map)|Guardian]], stay in the shadows, and just smash players as they came around corners. The same worked on levels with [[Energy Swords]], such as [[The Pit (level)|The Pit]]. Another way to get it was to use cloaking and try to sneak around an enemy or two. Also, a good strategy on Guardian was to hang out outside the main building with a Gravity Hammer, and smash people as they come around corners. If the hammer smash didn't kill them directly, there's a good chance that the splash effect from the hammer would throw them off the edge.

Another such way to get this achievement was to get a Swords match in Lone Wolves. All kills with the Energy Sword count as a melee kill; therefore, all the player had to do is get 5 kills.
