    Can anyone help me get my Purna and Xian get through to wave 15? It's my last achievement.

    I can't help you right now since I'm starting from scratch on XBox, but I've managed to survive past wave 35 on Very Hard in the arena with two people playing as Xian so here are some tips:

    - Find a Sam B. Preferably one with regenerating health. Although you can survive alone having Sam makes things much better and I find Xian/Sam to be the ideal mix for the arena.

    - If you can find a Sam B, I suggest asking him to take on the fire zombies, which are the biggest threat to Xian's tiny health bar. With his huge health pool and (hopefully) regenerating health he can withstand them. He will probably heal faster than the fire can damage him.

    - Xian is ideal for taking on the big groups of thugs and regular zombies. Take advantage of her awesomeness with edged weapons (preferably use a wakizashi of some kind) and always aim to decapitate regular zombies and to hack the arms off the Thugs. You'll eventually get the timing down so you can spring forward to hack at the Thug groups of 4+, jump back unharmed, and repeat until they're all dead.

    - Beware of Floaters. You can take them down easily from behind, but avoid the vomit at all costs. The rocks in the Very Easy arena are great for this. The Very Hard arena is also good for dealing with Floaters because you have so much space.

    - Always be on the lookout for Suiciders and don't accidentally cut them

    - Finally, I always go in with at least 80 Large Med Kits. Too much? Sometimes it really isn't.

    I forgot to add, the reason Xian and Sam make such a good team is threat level, as well as Sam's vastly superior health bar.

    Basically, all the characters have a threat meter. Sam has the highest threat naturally, and Xian has the lowest. This can be further exploited using the Spectre skill on Xian's part, which reduces threat even more,

    So when you're in the arena with a Sam, even if he hasn't put points into gaining additional threat, the zombies will mostly ignore Xian for Sam, allowing us Xians to choose our battles.

    If you want to add me in spite of my lack of levels, my user is ZombieHoax. I can probably get you past wave 15 on very easy right now. I am playing as Xian, but we should be okay anyway.
