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.
Take an unkillable frame, like Revenant, inaros, wukong, nezha… I only started using revenant on the assassination mission for the last two runs (with xaku’s ability) and I’m surprised I never used him before for this. He will never die if you keep mesmer skin up.
Fulmin should be ok for most mobs but need to be able to kill heavily armoured mobs. I haven’t used the Fulmin in a long time, but maybe a build based on hunter munitions and slash will work. Hunter munitions drops from ghoul purge bounties in Plains of Eidolon.
Final boss will probably need something like kuva hek, or I prefer the felarx. When I started, I used mostly the zariman incarnon weapons for the assassination. Since you can’t take the fulmin, will also need a decent secondary or melee to deal with most mobs. Again, incarnon secondary weapons are really good for this. I used the laetum before, but now I use the Lex Prime with incarnon.
To be honest i wouldn’t bother about archon hunts yet. I think when it was released, we already had access to the original incarnon weapons, which made it a lot easier.
