I'm aware that some people will try to point out that they're equally useless... just humor me and try to provide an answer, ok guys? Much appreciated!

Element:  Toxin, Heat or Cold
I find the abilities that come with these 3 to be more useful.
You can see them here:


A radiation Lich can good too, if their weapon has good status chance and they proc all the time.  Nice crowd control.

Weapon:  I haven't looked to closely at the difference this makes, but the explosive weapons like Zarr, Bramma or Ogris are really effective.
One thing to note, I have a Lich with Shildeg and more often than not, she just doesn't use it.  She seems prioritizes abilities over melee combat.  So perhaps not a melee weapon.  

Don't forget fashion.  They can come with cool looking masks/helmets/syandanas and the ever important ephemeras.

That aside, you can't forget the glorious names of these things.  Some I've converted purely because seeing their name pop-up leaves me in stitches.

I converted one with a 26% toxin Zarr. Because space pirates.

Really, it's personal preference.

I admit my preferences are weird, but I convert based on Quirks and Ephemera.  Quirks because, well, they can be funny.  Ephemera because that's potentially one I can sell.  I haven't started engaging in human trafficking yet, but I have built my Crimson Branch just in case I decide to throw what's little left of my humanity out the window...

Honestly, I haven't noticed any real difference in efficacy.  I mean, it's pretty cool when they show up, but I never felt they made a significant difference...

Even if Kuva Liches were incredibly powerful, I would still say the most important aspect of a Kuva Lich is the lines it says when it joins you.  Mine says "Time to get hammered in your reproductive organs!" and I wouldn't trade the smile that puts on my face for any amount of destructive power.

I got one with a toxic bramma and I have not needed to leave the helm to kill railjack boarding parties since.

Toxin or Rad.

Tonkor, Brumma, or Zarr.

One with the best name? Looks best?

1st Lich I converted back when they were released is called Siss Sturr; a full facemask male. 

I think he has a Kuva Tonkor, 43 %rad.

If inly liches would suggest :

Element wise :

Toxin will have some of the best abilities (hallowed ground support is great and miasma debuff is great)  and the fact that damage is overall a good element is great too.

Electric is close second as it will stun enemies with its weapon and you can get molecular prime ocassionally.

And then radiation cause it's a decent enough proc type and radial disarm can be situationally useful.

Weapon wise : the same you would see most other players prefer to use as it doesn't need aiming or effort , (bramma , zarr , nukor, ogris)
