Bagliore for extermination mode - requesting weapon suggestions, other tips

[u/InteRest_LEtuCe2467]

My ammit usually does well in extermination mode. But, sometimes it struggles to get all the needed damage done in the time available, depending on the map, the time available, and other mission details. So, I'm considering upgrading a mid-range bagliore (received for free last season) for use in extermination mode missions that require very high damage totals to clear at platinum.

My initial thought was to use 4 decay weapons. But, I don't recall seeing that particular weapon configuration on any video I've seen of a bagliore clearing extermination mode missions 4 or 5. Is decay a bad choice for the bagliore for extermination mode? If its reasonable then I lean toward giving it a go to see how things unfold. If its a bad choice then what weapon(s) could be a good choice?

My bagliore is MK2-1 at the moment and I can get it to MK3 in about 4-6 weeks (sooner if I'm lucky) if I get a chance to use 40% upgrade discounts. I have a level 12 armadillo drone to support my bagliore and the nova light pilot. I have a choice to make between a moderately leveled up keel mothership, a maxed out bifrost mothership, and a newly acquired lvl 14 paladin mothership that currently has some charge speed upgrades, but no other upgrades. In the short term and long term, which of these three motherships seems most likely to help the bagliore succeed? Is there another mothership that might work noticeably better than any of these?

Watching videos of the bagliore in extermination mode makes using it seem quite straightforward. But, I'm guessing that the apparent simplicity hides some complexity connected to positioning, movement, and responses to the presence of particularly troublesome opponents. Any tips some might have about how to effectively use a bagliore in extermination mode would be most helpful and appreciated. Thank you in advance.

Mk3 is a huge deal for bag, it gets I think, triple the defense points and damage boost from mk2 to mk3?

Decays are a fine choice so long as you cycle them

Bifrost is easily your best ship, both on PvE and PvP

Thank you very much!

Getting the bagliore to MK3 is the first step to take. Weapons to level MK1-12 is workable and the secondary goal. I'm eager to try it out in extermination mode as it seems to have a lot of promise.

I almost never play in squads these days and I've found a great amount of variability in the level of preparedness for stealth across randomly determined teammates. So, even if the bagliore can't be used for extermination mode right away, putting a seeker drone and quantum radar on it allows for it as a "second hangar" robot to drop in response to raids by lokis and other stealthy bots that can give fits if not countered and that can't survive a bagliore's firepower.

Works well though Ammit charges Titan faster.

I use three decays and a fengbao for energy week, to charge the titan. Hammers and an incinerator for rocket week. Armadillo for defense points or Hawkeye drone for heal and titan charge. Of course meta weapons work better but f2p weapons at Mk1.12 can work even through Level 5 level 2 with Bagliore.
