Warframe is a game that keeps evolving, constantly adding new missions and weapons into the game. Some of the weapons are as unique as 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Halo's Needler, further adding to the difficulty of choosing a weapon to upgrade. With the vast array of unique weapons this game has, it can be hard to keep track of what is♛ good or dated.
The Old Blood update has added a whole new category of weapons into the game. These Kuva weapons come from Kuva Liches—endgame enemies players must use special Mods to defeat. Whi꧒le the grind is daunting, the reward for fighting them is a powerful weapon variant with an added random damage bonus. Here are the highlights of what Kuva Liches can drop when defeated.
Updated July 24th, 2021, by Charles Burgar: The Sisters of Parvos update has shaken up the primary and secondary meta with Galvanized Mods, new weapon Arcanes, 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:and the inclusion of Tenet weapons—a Corpu𒈔s version of Lich weapons. Kuva Liches also received three new weapons for players to farm for.
Beyond adding the new weapons introduced in Update 30.5, we've reordered and rewrote virtually every entry on the list. The meta for Warframe has shifted quite a bit since this article was originally written, and previous updates didn't take these shifts into account properly. We've given much more consideration to a weapon's primary role, how it competes with the meta, and any notable differences between variants in the same weapon family. Good luck farming these weapons.
19 Ku📖va Grattleಌr
The Kuva Grattler is the only weapon on this list that could be classified as a "lackluster" weapon. This Archwing weapon is effectively a flak cannon, firing explosive shells at targets that deal moderate damage. At least, they're supposed to. For whatever reason, Digital Extremes decided that the Kuva variant's base damage should be halved. A Kuva progenitor bonus offsets this negative, but is the farm for a 60% element worth it?
Absolutely not. You're getting a Grattler with 2% more critical chance, a 0.1x higher crit multiplier, and the removal of a spool-up time, although the weapon fires a little slower. For how much work it takes to kill or convert a Lich, that's just not worth it. It does have double the magazine and reload rate, meaning it's much better for ground missions, yet the weapon's innate punch through really harms its AoE killing potential. Only get this weapon for Mastery points or if you really like the default Grattler.
18 Kuva Karak ꦦ 𒁏
While certainly generic, the K🌞uva Karak manages to carve its own cult following thanks to its reliability. Nearly everything about this assault rifle is solid: 23 base damage, 23% critical chan🥀ce with a 2.1x multiplier, and 31% status chance.
On paper, this weapon is a solid AR. But this weapon's jack of all trades nature lends itself to Star Chart content only. Steel Path? The gun doesn't deal enough damage and can't scale Slash procs enough. Endurance missions? Good luck maintaining the kill efficiency of AoE and melee weapons. If you are determined to use an assault rifle in Warframe, the Kuva Karak isn't a bad choice, but we highly recommend you give the Stahlta 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:or Tenet Tetra a look instead. Those weapons are much better for dealing with crowds while maintaining the power fantasy💜 o🌳f firing a high-damage assault rifle.
17 Kuv🎃a Tonkor
Once the undisputed damage king, the Tonkor has fallen from grace over the years. While it ༒can still be a fantastic option with certain Warframes, the weapon frequently staggers its beholder if they were caught in the blast, making this launcher hard to use.
Staggers are still a serious problem with the Kuva variant of the Tonkor, although this version packs a much stronger punch. A progenitor buff, stronger AoE explosions, and higher critical and status chances make for a solid grenade launcher. Since this weapon doesn't have an arming distance before it detonates, be sure to run Primed Sure Footed or Cautious Shot before you give this weapon a spin. But if you're going to go through all of that trouble for an AoE weapon, you'll likely prefer the Kuva Bramma, Kuva Ogris, 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:or Tenet Envoy since they are easier to use.
16 ཧ 🎶 Kuva Twin Stubbas
Known by some as the "dubba Stubbas," the Kuva Twin Stubbas is a textbook example of what a bullet hose secondary looks like. They have a moderate fire rate of 10, great status chance, solid critic♋al stats, and good base dama꧑ge for an archetype that fires dozens of bullets a second.
The issue is that bullet hose secondaries have fallen to the wayside in recent years. AoE weapons, gunꦰs that can create Slash procs via Hunter Munitions or Hemorrhage, and even melee weapons have made rapid-fire weapons far from a meta contender.
Even if these pistols aren't the greatest, they are certainly one of the best in their archetype. The Aksomati Prime has better critical stats, yet their lower base damage and status chance lead to weaker Slash and Heat procs. 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:You could far🐻m the Tenet Diplos i♍nstead, but those weapons have a strange alt-fire while aiming that could deter some fans of this archetype. If you just want to fill a target with holes, you'll love the Kuva Twin Stubbas.
15 Kuv🅠a Kraken 💛
This is a surprise to see💟 on any best weapons list. The original Kraken is arguably the worst weapon in the game, maybe one of the worst weapo✃ns in any video game. It dealt slightly more damage than a sneeze, fired slowly, and looked downright ugly.
While looks may not have improved with the Kuva Kraken, virtually everything else has been significantly improved. It fires more bullets per burst, deals critical damage and status effects nearly every shot when built right, and can now empty its magazine in an instant through its new alt-fire. Drastically better base stats still aren't enough to bring this weapon's main fire mode up to today's standards, but this gun's alt-fire should not be underestimated.
Firing 21 bullets in less than a second leads to some absurd burst DPS, something that you can reliably maintain with Arcane Pistoleer. It requires some setup, but the payoff is worth it for fans of bull🎃et ꦓhose secondaries. As a burst pistol, skip this gun. There are far better workhorse secondaries than this.
14 ❀ Kuva Ogris
For 🐻a Mastery Rank 15 weapon, the Kuva Ogris is a solid workhorse weapon that can also serve as a primer for Condition Overload weapons. Every shot deals 687 radial Blast damage and has a 47% status chance, although the Ogris has a low 9% critical chance and three-round ma♌gazine.
What this weapon does exceptionally well is damage targets through walls. Nightwatch Napalm and Heavy Caliber allow this weapon to cover entire hallways with flame, dealing great amounts of passive damage to weaker foes while inflicting a ton of status effects on tougher foes, making it a solid primer for Condition Overload melee weapons. If you're just looking for a primer weapon and are willing to farm Liches, the Kuva Nukor will outperform this. As a status rocket launcher and general workhorse weapon, the Kuva Ogris is a great weapon. But it does fall behind the likes of the Kuva Zarr and arguably the Tenet Envoy.
13 🌺 Kuva Drakgoon 🌸
Warframe veterans might be shocked the Kuva Drakgoon is this high on the list. This gun got a serious buff from the Sisters of Parvos of update. The buff to Critical Deceleration 168澳洲൲幸运5开奖网:and the introduction of Galvanized Mods have made this shrapnel-spe🔜wing shotgun a real menace.
With the right build, this gun can deal over one million burst DPS without accounting for Hunter Munition's Slash procs. All of this plays nicely with this gun's unique Exlius Mod Fomorian Accelerant, allowing the gun's projectiles to ricochet four times. A single charged shot is enough to clear a hallway with this gun and leave tougher opponents with multiple Slash procs.
Al♛l of this power comes with a rather large negative: you need to charge every shot. Charging a shotgun whenever you want to fire can feel extremely clunky, especially for players that prefer to use melee or rapid-fire guns. If you can get past this negative, the Kuva Drakgoon is a surprisingly powerful shotgun that not many players give a proper chance.
12 ꦅ Kuva Sh෴ildeg
Sometimes the best solution to a problem is a giant hammer. The Kuva Shildeg is one of the strongest hammers in Warframe, featuring a monstrous critical multiplier of 2.7x and a high 31% critical hit chance. When paired with a 60% progenitor buff, this weapon can d✨ish out some truly absurd damage.
Unfortunately, most of this weapon's damage is Puncture and Impact, two of the worst damage types in the game. Slash procs from this weapon aren't going to hit very hard or occur much at all, leading to some problems when dealing with heavily armored targets in Steel Path. But if you don't care about following the meta and want to crush every bone in a Grineer's body, you won't find many hammers better than the Kuva Shildeg.
11 Kuva Kohm
The Kuva Kohm is a hard weapon to rank. On the one hand, the Kohm family of weapons is nothing short of incredible, applying multiple status effects per pellet. On the other hand, the Kuva Kohm is arguably a worse ve﷽rsion of the standard Kohm. This is due to two factors:
- Riven Disposition
- Damage falloff
We try not to discuss Rivens when ranking weapons, but we can't ignore just how much stronger Rivens are on the default Kohm. The Kuva variant's base stats are marginally better than the default Kohm, making the default Kohm's Riven Disposition of 1.3 (as of writing) much more impactful. What really hurts this weapon is its effective range of 13 meters. Past that, this gun only deals 6% damage at 26 meters.🍌 The default Kohm, for comparison, only drops down to 27% damage at 25 meters. Galvanized Acceleration certainly helps, but it can also be used on the default Kohm.
If you don't want to deal with Riven Mods in any capacity, you should consider grabbing the Kuva Kohm. This weapon's innate progenitor bonus and absurd 90% status chance make it a nightmare against all faction types. A bias towards Slash damage, plus its ability to land critical hits reliably, can lead to hundreds of damaging ailments that only the Kuva Nukor can compete with. You'll need an ammo mutation effect and Galvanized Acceleration to get the most out of this gun. If that isn't a big ask, this gun is more than worth farming for.
10 Kuva Hind
The Grineer finally made a competitor to the Tiberon Prime, one of the best burst rifles in the game. The Kuva Hind is very similar to the Tiberon Prime in its use and gim𓆏mick.
Three fire modes are available on the Kuva Hind: semi-auto, burst, and full-auto. Each mode shifts the Hind's stats in some fashion. Full-auto focuses on status effects, while the semi-auto mode is better at critical hits. All modes are useful, but the weapon should mainly be used in its burst-fire mode. It doesn't have the absurd critical multiplier of 3x as the Tiberon Prime, although its higher status chance of 33% more than makes up for this. Build this weapon as a hybrid with Hunter Munitions for a good time.
