Hopefully you haven’t gotten too far into your own clan, because the best strategy for people doing solo clans is to actually be in a clan with completed research first, replicate all of the blueprints, and then split off and do your own thing. Otherwise you are bottlenecking yourself pretty significantly.
Yes, you’ll hear about people that completed all research solo, but usually those are players that are already far into the game and are just doing it for the memes.

TL;DR: cut your losses, join a complete clan, replicate absolutely everything, restart your personal clan.
My favorite melee that, albeit AFAIK well respected, you don’t actually ever see in the wild is Stropha.
The style definitely does not suit every frame, but my Volt, Zephyr, and Mag can take crazy advantage of it.
It was only a few days ago I took Corufell off Mag and replaced it with Stropha. Should’ve done that wayyyy earlier.
