Geez...

Sylph:
I gave this challenge a go last night. I'd taken a total of 4 damage by the time I got to the chained court, but didn't have berserker, and I think I killed 1 opponent in the chained court before I died.
My usual tactic for CC+ is occupying one of the leftmost doors from the bunker, corner shooting until a baron wanders in from the right. I then leave the starting bunker to the left, and walk around the top of the bunker. The top area, above the bunker, is my favourite part of the level for line shooting barons, and I hang around there as long as possible, sometimes doing another 'lap' in running mode through the starting room or around the bottom of the bunker.
On AoH, though, even with hellrunner, there's basically no chance of taking it slow like that. I'm starting to wonder whether I should immediately use a berserk to get up there, and use the other berserks every time I do a 'lap'... I'll have another try tonight.

ps. I think doing UV AoHu as a conquerer without taking berserker might actually be reaching a bit far for me, but I'm enjoying exploring the idea. I think you're on the right track, though, with your build.

If you got the phaseshift armour from the arena, I'd strongly recommend trying blowing the middle/corner of the bunker open and just running at the barons with a chainsaw. They wont' do much against your 90% resistance, and tend to butter like melt to the mighty chainsaw. But I'm gonna have to work on a tactic like yours if I ever plan on doing a low-damage run.

Berserk and vampyre basically meant I had ~18 hp and 60% resistances all the time, which is enough to survive anything but plasma. Most kills turned out to be life-neutral trades (thanks to vampyre), so I could basically charge straight at most mobs by the end of it. Lifted the build off someone else who did a AoOC+AoHu run.

Ah, I didn't realise the arena awards are random (how unusual!). I got acid-proof boots, which are pretty useless for the chained court aren't they? :)
I look forward to having a go with some serious melee resistance, but in all fairness it's the acid (torso) damage that's the killer on CC+. Maybe I should just get dodgemaster+3xberserk and charge at the arena master, then the stairs, never going back? :)

What I've gotten are:
*Acid boots
*Ballistic Vest
*Phaseshift armour

Also, the barons seriously don't do much damage while you're chainsaw-berserked! With some form of +movespeed you should be able to sidestep your way to melle range. With PRed, they do 1-6 damage WHEN they hit; very manageable!
