Fire, shield Commando. ranged or melee. Ravager, Callagadra, SR90

Hi! :raising_hand_man:
I’m XBOX player. I’m not a core player, so I can’t make build like TOP 20 that has high DPS to defeat Celestial bosses in 1-2 minutes :expressionless:. Instead, I made build focus to defense.
Fire Commando with shield :damage_fire:. I tried ranged type and melee type. Both can defeat Ravager and Callagadra in several minitues :muscle: (only ranged type can defeat Crate Entertainment)
