You can replace Hydraulics with an engine efficiency mod like necramech refuel or Necramech efficiency. Generally efficiency is preferred. Keep 2 active for animation cancelling during both attacking and movement animations as Bonewidow's block makes recovering from dashing/swinging quicker.
[Exalted Blade] combos and tips:
1. SWING SWING BLOCK repeat, third swing's recovery is too slow.
2. SWING SWING DASH BLOCK repeat, her dash cancels downward strike recovery, acts as another swing and chains to the next enemy for a combo
3. ACTIVATE [Bonewidow]'s 3 to group enemies to either a) Swing at them b) Heavy Attack c) Dash through them
3. DASH, dash through corridors to oneshot nearly all enemies, hence necramech blitz.
4. HEAVY ATTACK swings projectile.
5. BLOCK+SHOOT stuns and pushes back enemies.
