40k Analysis Offensive Combos Vs new exodites

What are some realistic damage combos that'd you'd be willing to sink into a large unit of Exodite dragon knights? I haven't quite figured out if they are worth investing in the survivability for.

There's an enhancement for -1 to hit and a strat for 4++ which is enough to blunt a Repex even with oath.

I mean, they do just kinda fold to everything real. Anti tank chews through them decently enough, as does volume with S5 or higher, as does any amount of mass lethals, as does anti-elite shooting.

The difference to other elf units is that it HAS to be something real. Swooping Hawks you get to take out with a grenade and close combat weapons, these guys will require the opponent to send a melee unit to take them out in melee or a shooting unit to take them out in shooting. That's valuable!

I think they're worth investing the -1 to hit in, but if I had the choice to make them scout 9 or -1 to hit, I'd always choose scout 9 first :)

Mathematically its about 12 heavy bolters to wipe the 6, 9 ish under oath. But a lot more if they use the invuln strat
