All operator powers should destroy syphon braids.

[(PSN)B0XMAN517]

Having to crouch and jump through the mist (I don't know what else to call it) is clunky and awkward. When I say operator powers, I'm talking about the wave blast (that you use to stun the fatties) and the beam. Activating you focus school won't have any effect on the mist. Not only would this make grinding syphons a little more bearable, it would be lore friendly and wouldn't be OP. 

 

Edit: Apparently you can use void blast which is even more reason the beam should be included.

I thought you could already use Void Blast to hit the clouds. Granted, I haven't done Kuva siphons in a while, but I seem to recall blasting the clouds before.

You can actually use Void Blast to collect Kuva Clouds, the only downside is that its range is pretty horrible, only 2 meters or so. I'm not so sure about the Beam doing anything to Kuva though, I am certain however that Void Blasts do affect them.

Void Blast and Void Dash can collect the kuva cloud... but if you are saying use those to destroy the braids straight out as in aiming at the braids, then it is not intended gameplay by DE.

You can use void blast to collect Kuva. You just literally have to be face to face to it in order to do so
