Here's another variation on the builds I've shown previously, but with an even higher focus on survival.
By using Adaptation, Pacify + Peaceful Provocation and Arcane Guardian x2, you can slow, weaken and resist extreme amounts of damage while supporting allies through healing/overshielding and CC and Melee damage bonuses through Rest. When using a high status Chance weapon with Blast, the duration of the knockdown caused by the Blast effect is lengthened due to it being tied to movement speed. Radiation is great for causing confusion among enemies, making them attack each other.
Quick Thinking and Hunter Adrenaline allow for constant energy generation through damage and also act as a back up safeguard to critical damage.
This particular build is so powerful on its own that some lower level enemies struggle to even damage Equinox at all, so I personally only tend to use this for long endless, Mot and Arbitrations.
This build becomes stronger if other ally damage reduction buffs are also in effect making, Equinox arguably the strongest frame for Tanking damage in team based situations.
The music is A New Hope (industrial version) from the Samurai Legend Musashi OST
