This is the closest I've come to winning at Angel of Vampirism. The Summoner was almost dead, but his summons swarmed me. I probably should have used one of the Krak grenades on the Archreavers, but I was so close to victory, I decided to just keep drilling the Summoner with the assault rifle to maximize the benefit of Sustained Fire trait. I managed to come into Precipice of Defeat with full health and full fury, ready for a shot of adrenaline, but the enemies never caused me enough pain to warrant using it; they either whittled away at me slowly, or my health ticked down, as I ran around the map, trying to find where the Summoner teleported to. (Which he did twice! Grrr!)
Anyway, this was mostly a stairdive, sometimes deviating when I felt like I could get away with it. My strategy varied, sometimes charging headlong into battle to keep my health up, but if it reached close to 25, I played more slowly and cautiously. It doesn't tick down below 25, so it's worth playing it safe in those circumstances.
I had some pretty good supplies at the end, including four Krak grenades, so I thought I had a good shot of winning this one. Oh well... at least that last Bronze badge was enough to unlock the other playing modes. Maybe I can see what this "New York Reload" thing is about. :)
EDIT: Aww, man... I just looked up the achievement listing for completing AoV on Hard mode and it is the least acquired achievement at 0.2%. I missed out on a very impressive win. :(
