Master Gardener (25) Kill 5 enemies with strangle. (per TheBoogeyman209)
Strategies for this achievment include - mortally wounding an enemy with the katana and then laying strangle for him to die in (per the purple pwny). Alternatively, as RNA, use strangle to hold down the flag in raid, wait for them to teleport in (Power station works good for this one) and then shoot them up just enough to not kill them and let the strangle finish them off. In extraction, watch the flag, shoot up any potential grabbers and then lay down strangle to finish 'em off. Note the game must report that "Xenocidic killed n00bface with strangle"

 

Ok so it has to say killed with strangle... what if you kill him while in strangle?

Only if the game reports that you killed the person "with strangle."

If you shot them while in strangle and the bullets were what killed them it won't count.

ok but how much does strangle hurt somone?

Strangle does a very slight damage. That's what makes this achievment tough.

One booster who thought the strangle had to do all of the damage complained that it took 4-5 minutes to kill his friend (with strangle alone).

One tipster said that four pistol shots + strangle should do in an elf.

Just jump in a patch of strangle and you can get an idea of how much damage it does.

Healer (10) Save your allies with the Tree of Life.
Heal 50 pips with your Trees of Life in one round (per Vigor cA). Health is divided into rectangular blocks - a pip is one block of life.  Healing you do to yourself doesn't count towards this achievment. Throwing a tree for teammates who are bleeding out is a good way to work towards this achievment (per mattinater). Also, try to be the dedicated tree-thrower for your team.

Who is Vigor cA that we trust he is telling the truth?

I think there is more to this achievement than just healing 50 pips in one round... I got this achievement on a 4v4, small map, and I only threw one or two trees for a bleeding dwarf... whereas I remember yesterday I sat by a bleeding-out troll for like 5 minutes throwing trees for him and didn't get the achievement.  I really don't think this is correct.

I do think he was quoting from the Prima guide but I'm not sure... go ahead and send him a private message to inquire =)

I just obtained Dwarf Player in a game I joined very late. I had about 13,200 starting dollars. I think it was 5 to 3 or so when we joined.

Master Ninja (100) Inflict one hundred mortal wounds with the Katana.
Go through elf-training to learn how to deal a mortal wound. Your enemy must be unawares of your prescence as indicated by the "?" (question mark) over their head. Arterial spray from the carotid artery is what you need to look out for to confirm you've dealt a mortal wound. 
As far as I know, as long as you do land the mortal wound (i.e. you see them start to bleed out) whether or not that person dies by bleeding out, you or a teammates kills him, he gets ressed, or the round ends, you still get credit towards this achievment.
My strategy for earning this achievment was to use Elf, and purchase abilities in this order - Ressurect, Smoke, Enhanced Vision, Teleport. Res first to earn money and help your team, EV to scout the enemies and TP to get behind them. Smoke for escape.
dzs Awezome reported that this achievment can be unlocked by killing someone who ressed someone else - whoever they ressed will begin bleeding out and the game will count this as a mortal wound. This is proven by people who have unlocked this achievment without using the katana much. Confirmation of this by Decestation v2 in this thread.

 

So all you have to do is inflict 100 mortal wounds or make somone bleed out by kkilling there rezzer but do they have to die?

No they don't have to die. Inflicting the wound should suffice, what happens afterwards doesn't matter.

Question about minions:

People have said killing other minions count toward the weapon you use to kill them, but does killing a minion with your minion count as a notch on the Summoner achievement?

I mean, it still says "Blah killed Blabbah for KamikazeSailor" so it should be a minion kill right?

Those are the easiest minion kills for me, I love setting people up to target a minion to me, then I run away, cast my own minion, weaken theirs without killing it and get an easy minion kill - assuming it counts as one.

Good question. I don't know really. It doesn't count as an actually kill on the scoreboard (brought up by holding down on the 'back' button) even though it says "Vinchucca killed a minion". So I assume it doesn't count towards any achievement either (weapons or otherwise). But again, I don't know. Maybe the threadstarter can shed some light on this.

Good question. I'm not sure, but I would gather that you can. Although the glaring red laser beam coming from your eyes might affect your sneakyness factor a bit.

I would tend to go with Vinchucca's reasoning on this one. Since it doesn't count as a kill on the scoreboard, it's likely not counting towards achievment progress either.

I believe you can. Personnaly I got the 'target lock' achievement in a match and I don't recall even using the smartlink in said match. I bought the smartlink by accident, I wanted to buy the Enhanced Vision. So when I realised my error I didn't equip the SL, but instead quickly bought the EV and equiped that. But at the end of the match I got the smartlink achievement.

So if you can get it just by owning the SL and not even having it equiped, I assume you can get it by katana killing as well as long as you have SL somewhere in your inventory. 

I hope that made sense, it's late over here and english is not my native tongue

Well, I'm not sure if you guys understood my question cause you really didn't address it, so I'll try this again.  What I'm talking about is the Summoner achievement.  This is the achievement where you get 100 kills with your minion.  You know when you've gotten a kill with your minion because it says "Kamikaze's Minion killed Xeno for Kamikaze" on the game screen.  This act NEVER counts as a kill for you on the scoreboard, despite the fact that you still get points for the kill as well as a tally towards the Summoner achievement.

My question concerns whether or not it counts as a tally if your minion kills someone elses minion.  I've noticed the report doesn't change.  Even if my minion and Xeno's minion are fighting, if my minion wins the report still says "Kamikaze's Minion killed Xeno for KamikazeSailor"  NOT "Kamikaze's Minion killed Xeno's Minion."  So my initial impression would be that it does count towards the achievement, but just wondering if there is anyone who can attest  to that.
