Can I do this?

Apologies for the long winded post friend but here are my 2 cents:

You should drop any shield mods and build towards anything favoring abilities. Always build for health/armor instead. Shields don't benefit from armor and something like a rage proc will let you get out some blind cc (for example). Build into more range/efficiency if you can. Your cc will cary you hard if applied in the correct way. If you find yourself going down often, I've found that about 70% of the time it's because you aren't moving fast enough or across a large enough space.

About the nano spores: run Helene defense on Saturn. It's the same tileset as Hydron and very active for this reason. Many players use it as a go to levelling spot (I levelled a vectis there to max rank in 2.5 runs yesterday) wave 10 is pretty standard fare for Helene. Mobs drop spores and orokin cells among other things. It will also give you a good idea of where your build is damage wise and will let you fine tune things.

The big point here is that while discussing builds and finding them online is great, only you know your specific inventory of weapons/mods/frames. Fine tuning a build for what you need is the best thing you can do to become a more efficient player. My advice would be to build some crit damage onto your vectis and drop charged shot into the build as well since the magazine is single shot only.

Elemental damage will completely send a build into the next level as well. Always consider that and what elements work in which situation.
