Kuva weapon bonus

[Crabopoulos-Michael]

Hi all, a couple of questions about Kuva weapons

1. I have a Nukor with +50% heat bonus and a Bramma with +44%. I was thinking in upgrading to +60% but it looks like a lot of farming ahead just to get there. Is it worth the effort? I mean, will I notice a real difference in damage or shall I spend that time to get another weapon instead?
2. Also, does it make sense to just convert the lich in case the bonus is too low, like under 30%?

Thanks!

Even if you use a low-% weapon on a 50% weapon, it is guaranteed to gain 10% of its original elemental value as additional damage. So if you use a 30% weapon to upgrade a 50% weapon, that 50% weapon will become 55% weapon, because 10% of 50 is 5. The next weapon used on that 55% weapon will make it cap at 60%.

Your Nukor will need a maximum of 2 kuva weapons of any % to upgrade it to 60%, and your Bramma will need 4 (3 will take it to 58.5%). If you get lucky with high rolls, you might need less weapons, but I personally still wouldn't convert any liches because you are never guaranteed to get a high roll on a weapon and it might take longer to attempt to get those than just using low-% weapons.

Kuva Nukor is a really good weapon. You should upgrade to 60% and its not not a lot of farming. If a lich does have a bonus that is really low you should convert it.

1. Well, every point of damage for nukors 5x crit really shows. And Bramma needs all its extra bonus damage it can get because impact is just bad. It is at a decent % though. It can already be overkill as it is depending on rivens.

2. Getting to 60% is pretty much locked at a total max of 10 fusions with a minimum of 2. Since it always takes the highest % and adds x1.1. That 30% plus 50% is 55.5.

A 45% plus the 50% is 55.5. Your 50% nukor will always take 2 fusions unless you get a 55% to drop next.
