Truly mediocre performance here, but whatever, it's done.

I was having a hard time handling the Venom well, so I decided to switch to the pyjak pistol as a main gun for one game and it turned out to be a success, albeit with slow time. Naturally, I got devices on wave 10 on Goddess, wacky fun...

Ugh. Devices on wave 3 - small, open map with 2 phantoms and 2 Brutes to box you in and 2 Atlases and 2 Ravagers to pound you from afar. Hack on wave 6 that I couldn't glitch, but at least that wave was slow moving, so I just kited once and finished it easily. And of course Targets on wave 10, cause Jade is fun when you have to bring down 4 bullet sponges while 2 Banshees and 2 phantoms seek some cuddly time with you... Luckily, I had 3 missiles, so I nuked the first 3 Atlases and pumped the last one with ammo pack enhanced Claymore shots. And then commenced the great hit and run marathon to clean it all up...
It seems to me that what separates good players from great ones is tactical awareness and precision when moving or shooting. I belong to the former and I suspect that is why I naturally prefer kits with dodge and builds with full fitness (or at least up to lvl 5). It allows me to mitigate the consequences of the mistakes I make much too often. Case in point - Jade with big, dodge-less character - I couldn't manage it with Armored Compartments so I had to use Responder Loadout for increased shield-recharge and extra gels and just slog it out. I'll probably take the same approach to London for the next challenge.
Also, Scorpion is for pyjaks!
