Smeeta x Kuva Farming

[(PSN)lhbuch]

What are the conditions to have double the kuva with a Smeeta? I know the right charm needs to be on but even when I see the 120s timer on, and the team is collecting Kuva, I dont get the benefit. Tried 10 times yesterday and only got double Kuva once.

You need to not be in your operator form. Only your frame will receive the charm effect. Not the operator, as with all single target buffs.

I thought smeeta didn't effect kuva only resource booster.

So not in operator form by end of the mission, explosion of the kuva siphon, during each cloud capture?

The reward is given when the last braid is destroyed. don't be in your operator mode at that time.

Who will destroy the last Braid, while everyone will be in WF waiting for that moment?

Not sure, that someone like that  apears after this Topic. We can just expect another wave of: Companions are insta dead in Kuva missions. TBH, waiting for 120s buff and then synergy it with destruction of last Braid, I think running Kuva "normally" will probably cost u less time.

Yeah I noticed that too. You have to be lucky to have the right charm activated and in lots of cases, the companion is simply insta killed, no bleed out...

It would. Don't stick around waiting for the buff. At most, put off capturing the last cloud until you finish the mission.

It's a nice bonus if it happens to happen.
Spoiler alert: You'll be lucky to get 1 boosted Kuva per 20 missions.

Which is why you use a frame with invis and ignore everyone but the Kuva clouds.   

Just make sure you neutralize any AoE units, if there are non-Grineer around.

... Would really like them to fix that, though.
Even dying and spending a revive doesn't revive pets killed that way.

I tested this in Simulacrum, but had no enough time, result: While in HUD DEAD appeared the Companion visisibly, without Bleed Waipont, bleed from then disappeared, not sure if this have something to do with Broken Scepter mechanics.
