Besides Viral Damage and status chance, obviously. I’ve been slowly wringing all the MR out of my favorite primer, my Kuva Nukor, and I’ve gotten to the point where I’m not sure if my mod selections are quite worth the slot… and I’ve got plenty of capacity to work with.
This is my current build. To me the point is that it applies max stacks of Viral ASAP, as an added bonus it’s Kuva element is Radiation which prevents buffing enemies from doing much of anything. As is unless I’m on SP the Nukor can and will kill most enemies quite efficiently.
So, what do you do with a Viral Primer once it primes Viral with all the gusto is can?
Edit: Taking all the suggestions here’s what I’ve got:
This is looking pretty awesome now.
Secondary Encumber for your arcane is the big one. Then I usually just use Primed Heated Charge so it can do some basic heat inherit priming.
I remember reading that Secondary Encumber only works on the first target hit, not on any other chained beam victims, so its not that good on nukor though
First part is true, but you can still do the standard Nukor sweeping motion. It racks status so quickly enemies will still be primed beyond what the weapon can natively achieve.
Hadn’t thought about Encumber, thanks for the tip! Definitely gonna grab it.
