I’m already pretty ass at disruption, so archon mode certainly doesn’t do me any favors. I don’t have Ivara, and I tend to get squashed like a bug even using things like Nezha. I’m gonna try a tank/armor strip Styanax when I get the chance to see how that is, but any suggestions are welcome.
I personally just mod some high damage weapons with cold+whatever they are weak to, the cold procs are normally enough to keep the demo from reaching the conduit. This has as additional bonus that I can take whatever frame I want, I am not bound to certain abilities for slowing or locking down.
