The requirement is a Heroic V clear. The Rogue approach below is an attributed community example, not a requirement to play Rogue.

What counts

Beat Heroic V in Naxxramas. This achievement opens the Crusader weapon glow.

Unlock: Crusader weapon glow. A companion appearance is separate from purchasing a working companion in Rewards.

The community approach

Source: car⛧lin · 2026-10-28. Recommendations below are preparation choices, not extra unlock conditions.

  1. The player’s setup assumes +3 T3 gear. Check your equipment and available set bonuses before copying its advice about permanent buffs.
  2. Their six spells are Backstab, Eviscerate, Sinister Strike, Adrenaline Rush, Ghostly Strike and Slice and Dice. They emphasize Backstab/Eviscerate damage and Ghostly Strike cooldown.
  3. For Heroic V the author favors Medallion of the Bladestorm, with critical-chance and defensive jewelry. Horn of the Warchief and Star of Mystaria are part of the reported setup.
  4. Build up several abilities before pulling Guardians. Pull one at a time and watch the boss timer: skip a Guardian pull when it would overlap a boss and elite wave.

Before copying the build

Gear, race and damage-reduction targets come from the player, not from the unlock condition. Recent Discord reports dispute some Rogue shield interactions; these reports are unconfirmed. We have not tested the necklace or buff-power scaling in the current patch.

After your attempt

Open Achievements to confirm completion on your save. Keep the game version, zone, difficulty, party size and final damage source with any report. A victory screenshot alone may not show every requirement.
