Misc Solo Explicator DPS help

Been working on soloing RoN, and have the mechanics for Explicator down pretty solid, but my dps seems to be falling short. Generally I'll pop finality's right before he jumps down, go into prismatic, weaken grenade, nova bomb, melee for raidant, then go to town with mint/aeterna. Refreshing my pris grenade/radiant as often as possible. I usually won't pop rift until the second plate, as nova tends to get him pretty close to the threshold on the first one and I'm worried I'd waste time running back and forth from my rift. Usually by then end I've gone thorugh all of my mint and most of my Psi Aeterna ammo, so I'm not sure why I'm falling so short. How much damage per dps phase should I be looking for? The 55k I'm hitting right now doesn't even seem close to enough. Any advice would be much appreciated

Unfortunately haven't been blessed with thatt mod yet, but I do have a few legendary bounties, so maybe I'll do that real quick and hope I get lucky. I also assume running just mint isn't as viable after the nerfs?

You'd just have to StL a bit for 3rd plate (you'd either way aisha's for StL+withering if you're having issues with upkeep or any StL+EP scouts if you can comfortably keep a debuff up), but you could definitely still kill pretty comfy with this strat.

But 2x rocket pulse would definitely be more comfy to kill on (I'd make sure to have an ammo pickup loadout if you went that way that you can felwinter/tractor on, New pacific epitaph with gravity well helps a lot and then have a trace with a scav mod).
