The best Kuva Nukor and Arcane Enervate build – Warframe

For quite some time, the Kuva Nukor has been a formidable weapon in Warframe, often appearing at the top of players’ tier lists due to its ability to destroy virtually anything within the game. But what if we could modify it to obliterate every single enemy in the game? I’ve devised a build that leverages various mechanics in the game to provide you with a dependable tool for dealing the necessary damage against any foe, whether on the Star Chart or the Steel Path.

The best Kuva Nukor and Arcane Enervate build in Warframe

In Warframe, most builds usually specialize in dealing a specific type of damage to eliminate certain enemy types. Common choices include Viral, Heat, and Corrosive. However, I was looking for a build that would offer bonus damage against various factions without the hassle of changing mods frequently. The primary goal of this build is convenience, allowing me to use it efficiently when tackling missions with a diverse array of enemies, each with their unique weaknesses. Since Digital Extremes are increasingly mixing contrasting enemies in one mission, this versatile build seems ideal for adapting to such challenges.

To begin with, the Kuva Nukor originated from a Lich whose ancestry inherently infuses it with Cold damage. Consequently, when utilizing this weapon, you might find it beneficial to choose characters like Frost, Gara, Hildryn, Koumei, Revenant, Stynax, Titania, or Trinity due to their abilities that align well with Cold damage. After acquiring the weapon through farming, you can proceed to construct its build.

Galvanized Shot+80% Status Chance. On kill: +40% direct damage per status type affecting the target for 14 seconds. Stacks up to 3x.
Primed Target Cracker+110% Critical Damage
Lethal Torrent+60% Fire Rate +60% Multishot
Magnetic Might+60% Magnetic Damage, +40% Critical Damage
Pistol Pestilence+60% Toxin +60 Status Chance
Jolt+60% Electricity +40% Status Chance
Primed Heated Charged+165% Heat damage – helps with armor stripping
Ruinous Extension+8 Beam Length (Exilus slot)

For mastering the Arcane, having Enervate is essential. You can obtain it as a mission reward on Hollvania; remember to open the loot caches and Techrot safes to gather them efficiently, or you can buy them from Elanor using Standing once you reach Rank 5. When fully ranked, each hit will boost your Critical Chance by 10%, but this effect resets after six major hits or criticals indicated in orange.

The Kuva Nukor boasts an exceptionally low basic Critical Chance of 7%, implying that most strikes won’t result in a Critical Hit, which is less than ideal given the odds. However, when it does score a critical hit, the damage gets amplified by 5 times, making those infrequent instances incredibly potent and more than compensating for its lower base damage. Thanks to its rapid fire rate and hitscan capabilities, hitting targets with this weapon is smooth and swift, and the Enervate mechanic quickly boosts the Critical Chance, transforming it into a formidable force.

Because of its inherent Cold properties and our custom setup, we now possess a weapon that inflicts Radiation, Corrosive, Blast, and Magnetic damage. This weapon also boasts an impressive 12x damage multiplier on critical hits, has a significantly high average critical hit rate, and boasts a high probability of causing status effects.

This weapon works best when combined with a Panzer Vulpaphyla and either Xata’s Whisper or Roar from Helminth, particularly in high-level content. It will consistently deal massive damage to any enemies you encounter. However, it’s important to note that this weapon is primarily designed for dealing with groups of enemies, not single targets like Archons. If you’re looking for a build that can take down almost any single target in the game, including Archons, I suggest giving the Laetum build a try.

It occurs to me that this particular construction may seem unconventional since it’s not primarily designed to inflict maximum harm on a specific faction type in Warframe. However, I believe that numerous builds players create in the game often surpass what’s necessary for most situations encountered within it.
