Kuva Nukor

The Kuva Nukor is the Kuva variant of the , with improvements to its already high critical multiplier and status chance, and increased critical chance, magazine, and range, but with marginally lower damage. Its beam has also gained the ability to chain between multiple enemies.
==Characteristics==
*This weapon deals primarily damage.
*Highest critical multiplier of all weapons in the game.
*Can inflict a unique status effect called , enlarging the body part that was shot at.
* Continuous Weapon: 
**Shoots a beam with a range of 29 meters.
**Consumes 0.5 ammo per tick of damage.
**Takes 0.6 seconds of firing to ramp up the damage from 30% to 100%. After firing stops for 0.8 seconds, the damage decays back to 30% over 2 seconds.
*Beam can chain up to 2 nearby enemies within 9 meters from the initial target, each doing 50% of the main beam's damage.
**Enemy corpses will still allow the beam to connect to nearby enemies.
*Comes with an additional bonus , , , , , , or damage, based on the Kuva Lich's progenitor Warframe, which increases the listed base damage of the weapon by 25%-60%.
**Valence Fusion can optionally change the resulting output damage type, and can upgrade the bonus increase (up to 60%).
*Polarizing the weapon increases its max rank by 2, capping at rank 40 after 5 polarizations, granting the weapon additional mod capacity.
*Listed Mastery Rank requirement is not enforced - the weapon may theoretically be obtained at any mastery rank by acquiring and vanquishing a Kuva Lich that has this weapon equipped.

==Notes==
*The Kuva Nukor can proc an invisible Status Effect called Microwave that causes the part of the enemy hit to become larger.
**Microwave procs have infinite duration, but the visual effect does not.
**Microwave counts as an individual status for , , , and .
*Upon striking an enemy, the beam chains up to 2 enemies within 9 meters of the main target. Each chain beam does 50% of the main beam's damage.
**Headshotting the original target does not affect the chain damage.
**The beam will not chain to a Nullifier through its shield should it connect with a target outside or partially enclosed by it.
**The beam can also continue to chain to enemies even if targeting a dead enemy or an enemy who is dead but in a dying animation.
**Compared to its Tenet counterpart, the , that chains within 7 meters at 60% of its main damage, the Kuva Nukor generally deals less damage albeit at a longer range. But this is not considering the critical stat differences between the two weapons, as while the former got a far higher critical chance stat (20% against 7%), the latter has a far superior critical multiplier stat (1.8x against 5x).
*Punch Through will cause the main beam to chain independently from each additional target hit, potentially doubling or tripling the total damage output when fired into a crowd. The chain from the target hit after the Punch Through can deal damage to the first target, and vice versa. Youtube : Warframe | Kuva Nukor and Punch Through
*The beam can damage Rampart from the front.
==Tips==
*While its base critical chance is low, will allow the weapon to critically hit ~20.1% of the time.
*You can shoot corpses to use them as "conduits" that can chain the beam to other enemies.
