Arena Diamond - Clear Hell's Arena on Nightmare! on Angel of Berserk


I'm now working on this, but man, this is crazy, and it would be probably the hardest diamond.
Even just entering Hell's Arena with armor+more than 2 small medpacks+sufficient exp
is extremely difficult and requires tremendous amount of luck.

How do you guys deal with those corpse on melee build?
Just burn them by cacodemon fireballs with getting hit?
Or gather them closely and directly stack corpses?
How do you control berserk status? It doesn't last that long.
Is Marine better than Scout? Berserker last longer, but marine is too slow..

Evilpotatoe:
I remember reading that BRU3 can be a wiser choice than BER for the arena, since you usually proc your berserk after killing the enemy you're facing, which makes it pretty useless.
I'm not sure I ever entered the arena on N! (or that I tried N! AoB outside of the funny&imbalanced dual angel challenges), so I can't help much, but yep, you need luck on medkits and/or spawns.

I don't think mob respawn is the biggest problems, since you got cacos to clean up the place, since the challenge dones't let you to much choice : you gotta ruuuush in, which doesn't takes too much time with our melee damages.

Anyway, quite crazy badge, but many diamonds are !
I don't think it's the hardest, since the requirements are probably more luck than just skill.
