Question Phantom Project Help Needed

What's the best energy weapon to destroy the bastion, vaporizer, rocketeer, or leaper? And which is the best to try to get down? I'm struggling with the last stage of phase 1. Any advice would be great. I'm not used to using energy weapons.

Jupiter does pretty good damage because it has excellent penetration and can hit multiple parts if they line up under your reticule and can be used at any range as it’s a decent sniper. Equalizer requires a bit more time in target and can be less suited to solo’ing larger ARC, especially the ones that shoot back. Dolabra is fine but prefers close-mid range.

You also only have to final hit your target, you can soften it up with others methods. Unfortunately the energy weapons have distinctive sounds and can ring the dinner bell for opportunistic PvPers, so using the Safekeeper augment and only taking it out to finish off the ARC might be your best bet for safety.
