I forgot to mention but you'll also want the Amplitude Trait maxed out for that big AOE. Also grab Scholar for that XP gain boost, and if you find that you have enough damage you can swap out one of the rings for the Sagestone to increase XP gain further.
The way I do it by lure all 3 guard until I reached a stair at the room that have collectible weapon in it. Survivor mode + using SageStone ring got total 519exp by 3 guards. Good to know yours is easy. I'm using enigma+7.
I did the lure method as well but realized it was taking too much time to try and group up all 3 when I could just knock out two in one shot right from spawn, saving a lot of time.
You will want to do this on Survivor difficulty (lowest difficulty). Higher difficulties do give slightly more xp per kill, however it's much harder to pull off a one-shot meaning the xp per hour slows down massively.
@@competentjuggernaut6679 did it on survivor difficulty and it's way better indeed. I'm getting about 400xp every 10 seconds on Survivor, on Apocalypse it took 1 minute for 800xp. Thanks for the info!
Wow, glad we have the same place same strats. 231 EXP per beef burger on nightmare, ill give it a try for survival for exp/hr experimental. We are the special one.
I believe each difficulty gives a +15% increase to XP gained, for a max of +45% at the highest difficulty. This increase does not make it more efficient to farm on higher difficulties unless you are still able to one-shot on that difficulty. When I tested this, I wasn't able to consistently one-shot above Survivor difficulty with my equipment
I will agree that Archon is difficult to acquire, however for my time with the game it ended up being the third or fourth archetype I actually unlocked. I'm likely a minority in getting Archon early, but for those who do this method works very well, and saves a lot of time.
This should still work as far as I know, although I have not tested it again since I uploaded the video. A similar method's been in use since the game first launched, so unless they significantly nerfed the gear making you unable to pull off one-shots it should be just as reliable as always
