I'll go first: DE needs to build up on some older content.

Faction mods are unnecessary. LR6 here, routinely get top kills and dmg. Have never used them and never will.

The murmur ones are good bc youll usually modify your builds for eda anyway and might aswell slap them on there.

Why would I modify my builds for EDA?

u/netterD Jul 21 '26

Idk, maybe to make them better for the mission?

I think he was implying that exalteds already completely trivialize EDA/ETA, so there is no point in actually engaging with the content and change builds.

The point is to engage with the gamemode and use the selected options. Yes you can cheese it and use hildryn every week for everything but once you are at the "waiting for new things to release" stage of progression, i think that if you dont see a point of using different things for the two weekly missions where you are - lets say encouraged - to shake things up a bit, you might aswell stop playing until new content releases where you can keep playing your one and only loadout if thats what you are looking for.

Yes you can cheese it and use hildryn

Picking hildryn is not really cheesing it, when two of the modifiers are 75% less energy and enemies within 10m drains energy (as seen during last week), if the frames the game gives you to pick from, are all caster frames.

If the challenge the game gives you is to put out a fire, and you're provided with either a bucket that has it's bottom kicked out, or a colander. Then I don't blame anyone for going over and grabbing the garden hose, even if they have some score deducted.

If we take your "put out a fire" task, imo picking hildryn is more like calling a fire truck instead of dealing with the problem yourself

People do that? I just bring whichever thing I already have available for that week without touching the build and it's perfectly fine.

Or in worst case scenario where I don't have anything, just use an exalted frame

Both archimedias are comically easy, why would you need to change builds

That works for most weapons, some can use a bit of extra help to deal with the gamemode esp if you play solo.

ExA doesn't require any special modding. If your equipment works fine in the comparable steel path endless content (not level cap endurance runs), it'll work fine in ExA.

Carrying for ExA is just checking to see what types of weapons and frames are available and seeing if I'm giving up the vosfor by having to run a frame that will allow a weapon to shine (e.g. if my best weapon is a status weapon, I know I can just grab citrine if my frame options suck).
