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