My first glimpse of how bad it was going to be came from seeing 6 humans, 1 sarge, and 1 lost soul when I opened the door.  Turns out there were actually about 3 or so hiding in that room.  I only had 2 medkits left (had to use the first two to survive the first level; nooby, I know), and it didn't take long even with dancing around the entrance to die.  So, what is the best trait to take when starting AoB?

Edit: Use the 'mortem' tag ^_^

I took brute and tough as nails... dont remember which first... it is mostly not so hard to get close to enemies, so i think speed bonus from hellrunner is not so important...
i noticed that if i took two brute traits then i had no good protection, and if i took two other traits first - damage level is too low... though TaN and Brute are not the only options here, of course. i tried to modify my toHit too, but dont know how melee works =)
i am kinda noob, managed to get to lvl9 on medium AoB in four tries.

 He started his journey on the suface of Phobos.
 On level 2 he battled through the complex.
 On level 3 he battled through a maze of rooms.
 There he finally was killed by a former sergeant.

-- General ---------------------------------------------------

 Before him 20 brave souls have ventured into Phobos:
 17 of those were killed.
 1 didn't read the thermonuclear bomb manual.
 And 2 couldn't handle the stress and commited a stupid suicide.
Unfortunately there were just too many imps wandering around for me to survive long on level 3, even though I'd gotten a record 5 (small) medkits saved up.  That human sergeant, ironically, was the first enemy I saw, and only noticed him standing behind me after I'd been blown in range by an imp and took a step away (bringing me even closer to the shotgun blast).

as i see the most hard are the first levels... after Chained Court it gets much easier. i had lots and lots of stuff when entered hell... there it was still not very hard and if i didnt make a silly mistake at l20, i think i could win...
