When to use this build:
This build is meant to be in the thick of it using melee up close and personal with enemies utilizing lifesteal weapons, Arcane Guardian and Adaptation to be tanky.

Pair with a life steal weapons:
Hirudo (Personal Favorite) See my build https://overframe.gg/build/175632/hirudo/solo-steel-path-all-faction-armor-stripping-mr7-to-30-lifesteal-gauntlets/
Nikana Prime or Zaw [Nikana] with Amalgam Daikyu Target Acquired

USE ZENURIK instead of NARAMON to support energy generation.
The combo counter occasionally resetting does not matter much because of using Arcane Strike and a fast melee weapon like Hirudo or Nikana Prime The lifesteal from these weapons easily keeps you alive while building the combo counter back up and will only be noticeable on heavy enemy units or eximus.

Possible upgrade to build; Replace Handspring with Primed Sure Footed

Magus Lockdown and Magus Repair are my recommended operator arcanes for all game modes.

Please leave a comment or message me in game if you would like more information on how to use this build or modify it if you cannot afford everything.
