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.
Archon Hunts are roughly equivalent to mid-tier Steel Path.
The Fulmins kind of so so (magazine is a bit small and the recharge takes a bit) at dealing with them. But a Hunter Munitions build should work. The Fulmin itself isn't great at the viral so a primer would go well.
The Archons themselves can be attritioned with nearly anything (even Operator), though there are speedier builds out there for them (though the absolute fastest require everyone else not to shoot the Archon or it gets messed up)
As far as the frame survivability goes, would have to know what frame and maybe some of the build.
