Just killed my current Lich and got the Kuva Nukor, and now I’m wondering how it will compare to the Tenet Cycron for Priming.
This is their comparison on the equip screen:
Anyone have experience with both weapons? Which would you say is generally better for the job? Of note: I don’t do collision overload and rarely melee in general.
Between the two, I much prefer the Cycron, just because the battery makes it great to use as a Secondary Encumber primer. Out of all the beam pistols though, Gaze remains my favourite, but the Cycron is a close second and is something I encourage all my clanmates to get. If you give it a Magnetic progenitor, it has full coverage as a primer and general crowd clearer and bubble popper.
Once you have Secondary Encumber, the gap with Nukor as a primer essentially closes. The battery has some obvious advantages if you’re using it as a primer
For shooting at things, the Cycron has much tighter variance. On paper the damage is a bit lower, but in reality most things will die the instant you point a fully built Cycron at them or any enemies near them. If you’re Sevagoth or Harrow, or some other frame with absolute crits, however, the Nukor is an easy winner.
