MODERATORS
Archon Hunts are the most difficult content available right now. If you don't do enough damage you're simply not ready to solo them. It's a fact you have to learn to accept.
It's not your fault though, so don't take it as a personal attack or anything. Warframe progression is completely stupid and often throws at you content you're not ready for. Take open worlds for example. A new player has no way to handle PoE but the game sends you there when you're like MR3. Archon Hunts are the same.
To make matters worse, Archons have a rather unique defence mechanism to them which makes most weapons and abilities useless.
So, from where you're standing right now, you have 2 options.
Get the Zariman weapons or Kuva Hek. Mod them for Radiation damage and pair them with Ivara or other stealth frame of your choice. Ivara provides additional damage boosting options though, so she's the best for Archon Hunts. Give her Roar with as high strength and duration as you can and Rolling Guard for survivability. That's all you need.
Don't try to solo it and ask for help. I understand you don't want to feel like a leech and want to be useful but you don't have to rely on damage alone to do that. Remember, Archon Hunts have perma death, so having someone who can heal, boost, and revive, is actually super useful there. I'm running a Vazarin Harrow Prime with Roar for support and it's great. Damage buff, CC, CC buff, immortality, fast revives, all in one package.
Thank you. Apparently a Kuba Hek would help me a lot right now so I'll probably go after one, along with this rolling guard that I just heard about today. I'm really grateful that the warframe community can help me so much with this stuff so thanks again
didn't see anyone mention it here, but against the Archons you want to use the Kuva Hek's secondary fire, which unloads the whole clip
Be aware that soloing for kuva hek is also not easy. Try it out and check guides on YouTube if you want to know more, it’s slightly complicated
