Valence fusion question.

[jimThehobo1]

I am  trying to get a kuva nukor with corrosive damage, I have a toxic nukor and a electric nukor, but when I go to fuse them, it asks me if I want to replace the toxic with electricity.

Do I have to fuse my toxic nukor with another toxic nukor first to get the percent up in order to get corrosive when I fuse the electricity nukor? Or is the display kind of bugged?

There is no bonus Corrosive damage from Kuva Liches; you'll need to mod for it.

Fusing a different element will override the previous element you are fusing the current weapon with. For your case, if you infuse Electric into your current Toxin Kuva Nukor, the Electric will override the Toxin entirely but it will still boost your bonus damage up to 60%.

If you try to fuse nukor A with nukor B it will always replace the element from A with B and increase the % the bonus following a secret dark formula. It will never fuse the elements togueter. 

Also... Try a magnetic one ;D

ok so I guess that perfect anti grineer nukor isn't gonna work,

with a Wukong condition overload build, that does sound interesting, another proc type and effectiveness  versus corpus, ok I'm gonna go for a magnetic nukor now. Talked me into it.

I only have mine set to status (innate radiation+bonus magnetic+viral+heat) and it shreks everything I point it at, no matter the level... And if it doesn't they won't be in a state to harm me in any way wile they are radiated/burning/magnetized and have disabled auras, a poke with a CO melee will end their suffering xD

how about another idea? mod kuva nukor with corrosive and fire, bring a panzer vulpaphyla with the viral spores, for even more elemental coverage.

would make steel path even easier. wonder how many steel essence I can farm in the endless missions with that?

It's not that secret.  It takes the higher of the two and multiplies by 1.1, to a maximum of 60%.
