Kappa Vs Cyath Affinity

[WipeMeMasterJezus]

when i play kappa i get 72 affinity per kill and when i'm on cyath i get 57. why are the mobs on cyath worth less affinity even tho they are higher lvl. and ppl say you can get more affinity.

The mobs on Cyath are worth less because they are not ranged and they only have some health. Don't forget that almost all melee weapons deal triple damage to them, too. But they come in numbers. There's a lot more light Infested on Cyath than there are Grineer on Kappa.

honestly, i dont see much difference between the 2. my weapons rank up at least 1 level in either.

Cyath seems more packed. But Kiste does give much more per kill.

Kappa is better. The key here is to check the after mission reward screen so you know the total affinity gain rather than checking individual numbers. Kappa has a roughly 20% benefit over Cyath. I had to run the numbers multiple times before I believed it, and I'm still not entirely sure as to the reason. I actually need to rerun Kiste, since I haven't done a comparison there since the last affinity change.
