How to unlock the Champion of the Lions achievement in Space Hulk: Deathwing - Definitive Guide
Whilst I'd like to say I ardently strode through endless waves of the Xenos filth, heroically vanquishing them with deft strokes of my mighty Mace of Absolution, I did not. Without any ranged weaponry acquisition of this trophy requires a more tactile approach.
I did this solo as most online players are mission orientated and in my experience the requirement to get to level 7 cannot be done before mission completion. If you do have online friends willing to constantly heal you for the ninety minutes it will take to do this, then it shouldn't be a problem, for everyone else read on.
Just for clarity in the customization options I had Armour Boost/Bonus 20 and the Resilient Perk. The need for these may be negated by using the method described below as it limits the opportunity to attack, thus minimizing the damage you would ordinarily take.
Select multiplayer from the top menu, host your own game and turn off the codex rules. Select easy difficulty, Chapter 2 from the campaign and the required assault loadout is the Mace of Absolution, then enter the space hulk. From your starting point there are two exits from the chamber, head toward the door on the left side. Operate the door to open it, close it once through and then seal it off. The corridor you've entered will turn right where directly ahead is a pipe outlet for genestealers to pour out from, this is where you'll position yourself. Before that however take out the genestealer hybrids with the ranged weaponry situated in and above the corridor the right hand turn leads you to. The concussive force from the maces explosions will make short work of the ones higher up, simply land your blows as close as you can.
Once dispatched head back to the pipe, position yourself against the hatch on the left hand side of it and aim directly into it. The genestealers that emerge from it will be unable to attack you initially as they must first stand upright, so get your blows in. Keep making noise by striking the hatch, this gives away your position and entices more of the creatures to seek you out.
The bio-blast genestealers which make the acquisition of this trophy so difficult for solo players don't emerge from this particular entry point, so the R1 button to raise your shield in protection should be redundant. If you have placed yourself in the right place, with the curvature of the hatch visible in front of you then no genestealers should assail you from the corridor itself. Simply stand there, kill everything that emerges and the trophy should be yours.
I've no doubt the other trophies of this ilk for each of the character classes could be farmed using this approach, however an alternative strategy is available in the Epistolary Trophy section.

If you don’t have anyone to cooperate with, like me, then you can earn this trophy (like other class trophies) alone, without apothecaries in the wings. You create a game, password-protect it so that no one spoils the raspberries, code off. Choose a map that is convenient for you, for example, I did it on the first mission, look for a secluded corner not far from a couple of gene stealer spawn points, where no one will run into your back and... Farm. Up to the seventh level, long and tedious, about two hours, but for sure. The main danger, especially for a police officer, is purple kamikazes. We take cover from them behind a shield, it completely absorbs the damage from the explosion, just don’t be greedy, don’t try to kill anyone else before that, because the timings in the game are very bestial and after the hit there will be a second and a half during which you won’t be able to put a block and you risk catch a tasty bom. We hear and see the reptile - we raise the shield.

To receive the trophy, you must reach level 7 in a network game. The Assault Master is a melee class with hammer, mace, claw and sword weapons.
If you want to upgrade this class in co-op, then see the method described in the trophy tooltip "Epistolary" : Unlock all Librarian abilities in multiplayer. You can play solo and level up your Master Assault class, but there is a big risk of being harmed by the explosions of a Kamikaze Gene Stealer. It is advisable to call a partner for insurance, who will take the apothecary and treat the assault master. Alternatively, you can use the 2nd console as an apothecary bot.
Text guide (en). This is an alternative option for boosting the assault master to level 7 in solo and is the safest possible without the ability to moderate the kamikaze gene stealer with a complete loss of all experience. If you have a turbo gamepad, then the process will be completely autonomous in afk mode. If you don't have a turbo gamepad, you'll need to press the kick button for more than three hours.
