Per the poll last week, my next walkthrough will be a fend-only Amazon. So, I introduce you to Helen! I'm debating whether or not to use Valk (just use a maxed decoy instead) since the evade / avoid / dodge tree really messes with the fend animation. Any opinions are welcome!

RULES:
• Hardcore P8 (except for countess reruns)
• No ladder rune words
• No PlugY
• 2-handed weapon at all times

Short-term Goals:
• Treachery
• Lionheart
• Duress
• Lycander's Flank

Long-term Goals:
• Reach level 90
• Defeat Hell Baal
• CoH
• CTA
• EBOTD Mat Spear (lol)
• Shako
• Hone Sudan Yari
• Guillaume's Face
• Dope Crafted CB Gloves

Here we go.

Den cleared, level 7.

Stealth base:


New weapon:


These guys were easier than expected.

Found this... thought it was interesting




Not the most efficient countess map... but oh well.

Countess down... decided to farm her for a bit after this to get the basics (Ral's, Tal, Eth, etc.)


Turns out the actual tower maps were quite good / short.

Level 16 just from countess runs...

Went shopping for a new weapon...


That I can't use for 3 levels...

Time to progress...


Level 17... which means it's time for stealth!

Skills if anyone is interested (only have 1 in jab... going to pump passives until fend).


Getting imbue quest.
