"One sword stands tallest among them, leading the charge against us all."

— Grimoire entry

Sardon, Fist of Crota is a Hive Knight encountered in the Fist of Crota Mission from The Dark Below Arc. Being a significant member of Crota's forces, Sardon is the leader of the Blades of Crota and commander of all his armies, with the Swarm Princes being his generals.

Biography

Regarded as one of the first of Crota's disciples, Sardon was largely responsible for leading the latter's army of Blades in conquering Aloria I sometime during the Collapse, where they entrenched it into a War moon for Omnigul's broods.

After the destruction of the Black Heart, Sardon took command of the Hive spawn on Aloria, where they seeded beneath The Old Science Facility in secret until Fallen from the House of Dusk and House of Salvation stirred up the Hive across the facility. Sardon's movements would be tracked to the Grottos and a fireteam would be sent to finish him, making him the first casualty of the Hope-Eater's disciples.

Gameplay

Upon spawning, he casts a debuff called "A Dark Burden", which prevents players from using their jump ability, blocks their vision the closer they are to him and causes damage when at a higher elevation. This works in combination with Sardon's preferred method of attack, which is unleashing a shockwave with his Cleaver. This heavily-damaging shockwave travels along the ground and causes disorientation and is launched into the air upon a successful hit. Sardon is also a nimble target, making it hard to land sustained fire on him.
