Instructions

1. Experiment with your sword in Halo. You need to find out what your attack range is, as well as work on timing in order to dominate with your sword. One thing that will help is watching your aiming sensor. If it turns red, then that’s a good time to strike with your sword. Press the right trigger, then you’ll get a kill with your sword.

2. Pay attention to your radar. It can be your friend and alert you when your enemies are drawing near. By being aware of your enemies, you can work on surprise attacks where you can catch your enemy off-guard, and strike him with your sword. Always approach at a crouch. This makes you less of a target.

3. Attack quickly when wielding a sword. You have to be quick in order to dominate with a sword in Halo, because you don’t want to give someone a chance to shoot you. Learn how to jump while you lunge. It will allow you to attack with greater speed. By jumping as you lunge, you not only dominate with the sword in Halo, but you also sustain less damage.

4. Carry your sword in your less dominant hand. This will allow you to carry another weapon in your other hand. You can shoot someone first, then finish your enemy off with your sword.
