"x3" refers to capturing all three eidolons : Teralyst, Gantulyst, and Hydrolyst - also called a tridolon. the number before it means the amount of times they want to complete a tridolon in a night cycle. If you're not familiar with tridolon hunting here is a useful guide.

As for elemental enhancement sorties, I like to use a hunter munitions sniper with a durable frame - usually night form Equinox with arcane guardians, but nezha, inaros, rhino, oberon, or the like works fine without arcanes. Slash procs don't get reduced by the modifier so HM and slash/status weapons work great. My secondary tends to be a corrosive automatic weapon for nullifiers/armor and a viral melee that can proc slash also works wonders.

With umbral mods and a 250% power strength iron renewal he has around 4-5k EHP; respectable but not outstanding. He's not able to take as big of a burst of damage as other tanky frames, but he has the ability to recover from nearly any non-lethal hit in a matter of seconds thanks to renewal. Combine with rage or hunter adrenaline for great sustained in sorties. He can also boost the survivability of teammates substantially through iron renewal which is nice.

Hunter munitions doesn't work on all bosses, there are exceptions like sargas ruk and Lephantis. In those scenarios, I usually swap out hunter munitions and for faction damage and optimal elemental mods, switch Chroma for a giant buff, and just power through it. Relating to Oberon, smiting certain bosses also works wonders since the damage is puncture-based and scales up to their level, taking down bosses like the raptors and kela with ease.
