I need help getting an effective fit for a tengu for doing drone hordes in. Hordes I know are probably the hardest anom in the game to tank and ive lost two tengus to them. Both times i was caught webbed. The first time it wasnt properly fit, the second i dont know what happend. I was using a pithi b-type small shield booster and still lost it.

Please give me guidance on a fit for a tengu that would be effective in drone hordes. Passive or active, it just need to be able to effectively tank them, webbed or not webbed. I always have the option of warping in at 50 and killing webbing friggates before they get to me, but Id like to actually tank it properly.
thanks

Yes, I complain about things I don't like.

Is it the bunker hordes you are running? If so, there are a few things to do first:

1) make sure you are omni tanked, all resists as equal as you can get them.
2) On warp in kill all the frigates there, there are up to 2 scramming and 2 webbing frigates, so just kill them all to be sure.
3) The far left tower is a neuting tower, kill it next. It is bad news for anything less than a carrier

When popping the bunkers, just do one first, and see how well your tank holds out. if it goes well, pop another one.

One advantage you have in your tengu is to minimise incoming DPS 1 bunker at a time by eliminating all the BSs on the field. So pop a bunker, kill all BSs, pop the next one and kill all BSs and so on.

Speed tanking should work fine too, try orbiting a central spar/corridor/lift @ 50km or whatever and you should be fine
