Top pick: Xaku. Grasp of Lohk arms every corpse nearby into a firing squad that shreds Thrax at the exolizer. Runner-up is Gyre, whose chain lightning never really stops.
| Frame | Why it works | Build focus |
|---|---|---|
| Xaku | Steals guns off corpses, then shreds Thrax and trash right through walls. | Range + Strength |
| Gyre | Chain lightning keeps looping near the exolizer, bunching Thrax up for one-shot kills. | Strength + Range |
| Wisp | Sol Gate clears the crowd solo while Reservoirs keep the squad topped up. | Strength + Range |
| Revenant | Shared Mesmer Skin hands the whole squad free invulnerability charges. | Strength + Duration |
| Ash | Stays invisible inside the Transference field while Blade Storm strips and kills Thrax fast. | Strength + Duration |
| Titania | Fastest flier between exolizers, and Dex Pixia drops Thrax in about a second. | Duration + Strength |

Lega PrismCloses Void rifts| Weapon | Why |
|---|---|
| Kuva Nukor | Magnetic status strips Thrax Overguard fast, which is the real DPS bottleneck once a Centurion spawns. |
| Laetum | Incarnon mode makes it the go-to secondary, deleting Thrax during their vulnerable spectral phase. |
| Kuva Zarr | Explosive AoE clears crowds fast enough to hit the kill count that drains the Cascade gauge. |
| Lega Prism / Klamora Prism (Operator Amp) | A wide-beam Amp for closing Void rifts and finishing off spectral Thrax, since the Transference loop forces you into it anyway. |
