Best "Kuva" Element for Tenet Plinx

[Circle_of_Psi]

Hi All

A small and straightforward question, what is IUO the "Best" starting Element for the Tenet Plinx, I have "Heat" as my starting one, but I am wondering if perhaps Magnetic or Radiation would be better. (Yes I do use Primed Heat charge by the way) 

Edit: Here is my build: https://overframe.gg/build/new/5996/tenet-plinx/?bs=WzEsNTk5Niw0MCwxLFtbMCwwLDBdLFs0MDIsNSwwXSxbNDEzLDEwLDFdLFs1NTE4LDEwLDJdLFswLDAsMF0sWzQxNSwxMCwxXSxbNDI1LDEwLDBdLFs1NTE3LDEwLDFdLFs0NDMsMywxXSxbNTUwOSw1LDBdXSxbMywwLjZdXQ==(I'm not the best at making builds and I avoid "End-Game" content, but I got all the required mods such as: Primed and Galvs) 

But overall, I am thinking should I go through the trouble of farming for a Sister, just to change the Element for Magnetic or Radiation, or will I do fine with Heat? (Note: I brought a Sister, as I am too lazy to farm it myself)

I put heat on mine, with a corrosive build it one shots basically everything, with the primary fire.

I think magnetic or radiation are good for status based weapons. I don't have the tenet plinx yet but I think it is a Crit weapon? In that case I think heat or toxin is best. Let's see what more experienced say.

Personally I go with this:

• Heat for rapid-firing weapon.
• Toxin for one-shot firing weapon.
• Magnetic/radiation for status-based weapon.

Hm, I do enjoy rapid-firing weapons more over the single shot (I still use it tho)

And how does the Charged Fire blast fair out for you?

So I removed Primed Heat Chrage from the build as for some reason that was triggering the combo with another element, I am really not sure how such works to be honest xD

Let's just say it doesn't fair out well for the enemies lol.

Tenet plinx is a very versatile weapon though, it can do levelcap disruption, damage cap, even eidolons. Interesting little thing is that the direct hit of the alt fire has guaranteed impact, so with hemorrhage it'll kill anything.

Hm, alright, I'll see what I can do with the build

since it's a Secondary, unless you have a specific Damage composition in mind for a really good reason, Fire is going to generally be the clear winner since that lets you stack more Fire.
it's hard to beat Fire Status.
