Conquest by Virtue requires you tocomplete every weekly challenge on Master difficulty; Triumph challenges arenotrequired. Since these challenges rotate on a weekly basis, you’ll have to wait at least four weeks to fully complete this Triumph.

The only notable difference is that Crota’s Challenge, All in One, will require your team to either grab an additional sword or make smart use of buffs and debuffs to break Crota’s shield.Healing effects like the Titan’s Banner of War and the Warlock’s Well of Radiance are highly recommendedfor all four challenges.
