I recommend M AoPc speedruns. If I had to guess I would say I got about 6-10 Cyberdemons per hour that way.

Good suggestion!  I'll give that a try.  Thanks!  :)

That is exactly the case. I included medals to that page just now as to be more accurate, but we've known that this is the case for some time now. This isn't an oversight of the game, it's executed as intended. (Had you been invulnerable at the time of nuke, however, it should have counted.)
Yes. Of course, this also works in reverse: if you happen to be holding a rocket launcher for wall-busting purposes and a demon kills itself in lava, that kill will be counted toward rocket launchers. I've outlined the general strategy on the Strategy:Fists page, though certainly your Demonic Diamond victory know-how can help that page out.

Jeez!  I wish I'd known about this stuff sooner!  It would have made my Demonic Diamond Badge a hell of a lot easier!  I did that whole thing using only my fists!  :o  That's what I get for trying to avoid spoilers!  :)

Tormuse, if you are feeling bored I challenge you to achieve the following (for fun of course). Make a MMB technician and make a Fireshield Duelist Armor in the same game. That goal should keep you occupied as you build up Cybie kills.

Heh, considering that I have only encountered an Onyx mod once ever, this seems unlikely, however, I did just play a game in which I assembled a Cerberus Duelist Armor in a Vampyre game.  Whenever I went berserk, *all* my resistances went up to 95%!  :)

EDIT:  Oh, and FYI, I came pretty close to getting Marksman Diamond yesterday.  Level 21, the furthest I've ever gotten.  It's doable, folks!  :)

@Game Hunter, your description of how the game processes weapon usage made me curious, and I think I just discovered an easier way to get Demonic Diamond!  If you have Juggler trait and a melee weapon in your prepared slot, but your hands are empty, it still counts as a fist kill, even though you're using the melee weapon!  I just confirmed this with this mortem:

 491 brave souls have ventured into Phobos:
 416 of those were killed.
 27 didn't read the thermonuclear bomb manual.
 And 17 couldn't handle the stress and committed a stupid suicide.

 31 souls destroyed the Cyberdemon...
 7 sacrificed itself for the good of mankind.
 24 killed the bastard and survived.

Note the chainsaw in my prepared slot.  It made a chainsaw sound and did chainsaw damage, but I still got Sunrise Iron Fist!  If this had been publicly known, I suspect we would have seen Demonic Diamond achieved much sooner;  Taking out Cybie with the Longinus Spear would be a lot easier than punching him to death.  :)

Yes, well, this is yet another reason we still need you around: finding exploits that can be fixed in the next version. (At the very least, I wouldn't consider this intended. Might end up having to rewrite the whole OnKill mechanism!)

Congrats on YAN!W, by the way. Seems like such an acronym can be applied to you!

I'm gonna go ahead and say that this is a bug. Probably this will just get an in-place fix/exception for Juggler.
