Hello Tenno!
I just got Mr 17 and unlocked Archon Hunts, but it is so hard for me that I got unmotivated and honestly have no idea what I should do next. As soon as I found a favorite gun (that would be Fulmin), I spent some plat to make a good build for it and after 7 forma I honestly was really happy with the result, it was helping me through a lot of content (except Profit Taker) and I was really enjoying it… Until I reached Archon hunts. The mobs in Archon hunts barely take damage from my Fulmin and also do a lot of damage to my frames to the point that right now is impossible for me to solo it, and I don’t like being carried every week because it feels like I’m leeching. So please help me what should I do next? I’m on my way to unlock Steel Path but I got my ass kicked so hard I’m not even confident enough to tackle SP without being carried again.
For the easiest frame option in terms of resources/time to acquire:
Step 1: Get Revenant (Prime, which should be easy to acquire)
Step 2: Get Natural Talent (the mod)
Step 3: Slap Natural Talent and ability strength into Revenant, also energy economy
Step 4: Congratz, you are now immortal with Revenant’s 2.
For the best weapons:
Felarx, Laetum, Phenmor with Devouring Attrition (the incarnon perk that gives a 50% chance on a non-crit for 2000% damage, which bypasses damage adaptation that Archons have, and will kill anything below an Archon quite easily)
For the easy weapons:
I can’t be of much help since I mainly use the Felarx, but any weapon with multishot and tons of tiny damage instances instead of one big one should do. Shotguns work well for this, provided they’re pellet shotguns and not big blasts like the Arca Plasmor.
