Was having trouble fine-tuning my melee strategy. Kept wanting to go for move-speed like my last Shottyhead challenge, only as a Marine Vampyre. Finally decided to give that up and go with a passive defense, then my games started improving. Everybody dumps on TaN in the endgame, but an extra 2 armor does make the health gain from Vampyre go that much farther.
For awhile I was going Fin -> Fin -> WK2 because I wanted a Ripper, but when I finally did assemble that Ripper, I found that the -4 accuracy makes it a worse weapon than the Longinus Spear. A-mod would probably help there, but I died before finding one. Finally. when I decided to not do the Vaults and just take the stairs every level after the Mortuary, I was able to knock AoB off the "Silver Badge's to get" list. Kept wanting to do the Wall, with the homing phase from HA, but none of the phases I found on levels 1-6 put me behind it.
Notes: Try to get to Hell's Arena without using a single medkit. Then fight every demon with running turned on, and use a kit as soon as running expires. On AoB a Large Health globe spawns with the third wave, That + Berserker should see you through. CC+ is straightforward, grab the saw, and annihilate the Caco's/Knights with it, one more for the AM, save the last for healing. It's worth it, the dodge bonus from Tac Boots goes a long way in a melee game, and there's a lot of experience there.
