Need to know what the best progenitor would be for the: Kuva Karak Kuva Twin Stubbas Kuva Nukor and Kuva Shildeg. Any other general tips would be good too, i dunno much about these lich weapons
Heat can be good if you want to use Cascadia Flare. Ultimately I reject the idea that ther is a single “best “ element for all lich and sister weapons.
Toxin in most cases, unless you need a utility proc in which case it will be magnetic
I’ll contest the Grattler and Ayanga, as they are Archguns and the targets you’ll use them the most tend to be week against Radiation.
Also, the Tenet Agendus alrerady has native Electric regardless of the chosen element, therefore choosing Electric as the bonus does not add much and going for Cold will simply give you native Magnetic which is a complete waste since you could go directly for Magnetic and keep the Electric bonus. Go for Radiation or Magnetic if you plan to use Condition Overload on it, or Toxin to have native Corrosive on the weapon.
There’s a very very long discussion about the agendus but iirc the tldr is if you plan to make viral on the weapon you take the cold bonus and if you’re building for the heavy gimmick you take elec.
It gets a little wonky when you add multiple elemental bonuses but here’s a short chart of how they interact
If you’re using the Kuva Nukor for priming, then Magnetic is probably the best for that one. Adding Magnetic or Impact lets you get one more status from the weapon than other choices. Magnetic’s status effect is likely more desirable and significantly more weapons have impact than magnetic – so the weapon being primed for could occasionally add another status if your primer isn’t also adding impact.
I generally use Heat if I don’t have a specific use. You can then still create viral+heat or corrosive+heat with only 2 mods, or gas with only 1.
Toxin is very popular since you can create viral with only 1 mod. But if you want viral+heat, then you still need to use 3 mods because the added element from liches is applied after elements from mods… so if you want that combination then heat would be better.
I’ve also been enjoying Electricity when using full armour strip lately.
Honestly, the only one I never use is Radiation.
