 Before him 811 brave souls have ventured into Phobos:
 751 of those were killed.
 3 of those were killed by something unknown.
 2 didn't read the thermonuclear bomb manual.
 And 39 couldn't handle the stress and committed a stupid suicide.

 Some rumours though, say that the Cyberdemon was killed already!
 Is he immortal? 16 souls claim to have killed him...
 3 sacrificed itself for the good of mankind.
 9 killed the bastard and survived.
 4 showed that it can outsmart hell itself.

--------------------------------------------------------------

I am posting this mainly because I have not seen many people tackle Angel of Humanity.  This is my first post.   I went for what may be an unusual build - intuition into badass, the points after that were kinda spread out and pointless.  Intuition was tremendously useful in avoiding enemies unless there was a reasonable way to cornershoot or shoot them from out of their vision range. 

I spent my techmod on a combat shotgun for effective knockback from behind cover, power and bulk on the chaingun so I could kill things at range, and agility on boots so that my red armor wouldn't hinder me too much.

Right after Hell's Arena I faced an "arena" layout, the high power chaingun was priceless in mowing down stuff quickly at range. 

I took so little damage that the red armor I started with lasted all the way to Hell's Armory.  This was where I took my greatest risk and the only time I went below 80% HP after I got intuition - I tackled the Shambler.  He managed to zap me once with lightning and teleported into melee range once as well, but I finished him with the plasma gun that helpfully spawned in the Armory.  I was rewarded with the cybernetic armor.  The danger of losing durability is not that noticeable on AoHu, and every point of protection is priceless. 

The rest of the game was quite uneventful.  The napalm launcher might have helped once or twice in keeping things out of visual range, but the hellspawn barely saw in phobos hell.

I didn't have dodgemaster and I didn't want to risk getting instagibbed by Cybie, so I just nuked him. 

This challenge is similar to AoMasochism, but much harder.  I think it took 20 good attempts that made it past phobos base level 2 -I quit another two dozen games there when there was no combat shotgun.

Wow!  Nice victory post!  And 96% kills too!  :o  (You took on the shambler?  Madness, I say!)  O_O

The most promising thing about this is that this is the *exact* strategy that I've been attempting in my AoHu games, so I guess that means I'm on the right track!  :)  I just counted and I've made 119 attempts so far.  :P  Most of them end on level 1 or 2, but my most successful one took me to level 13.  Level 2 Intuition definitely makes it easier; the challenge is getting that far.  :)

[HenWen]

The intuition strategy is great once you have cleared about half the level and have the space to maneuver.  The problem is when you start out surrounded by enemies.  I was very lucky this run as I didn't encounter any arachnotron caves. 

Tormuse - keep at it!  This strategy is slow to start - I have only tried starting with TaN a few times and I didn't like it, so I am not sure if there *is* any easy way to start AoHu.  This was probably only the third or fourth time I got intuition.  The early game is brutal, but intuition helps a lot. 

Anyway, I am glad to see that at least one other person thinks this is a decent build. 

[rchandra]

when I was poking at AoHu I also liked starting with Intuition.  I could never really decide how to follow it up - WK? Cateye? I liked those two more than TaN, but then I died a lot (the assault rifle being guaranteed on AoHu is a good reason to get whizkid)
One thing worth noting is that Eagle Eye works on the chainsaw and rocket launcher, so at least on HNTR clearing the Chained Court is quite doable (you should have level 4 or hit it soon into the level, to get good use of the rocket launcher).
