Choice element for kuva quartakk

[Thorveim]

I plan on picking a kuva quartakk as my main, "do everything" weapon, but have a hard time picking which element to slap on it on creation.

Rad allows for an otherwise impossible element combo, and is bonus damage against bombards, but the proc itself isnt that useful on quartakk

Toxin or electric both allow to max out on corrosive damage, making procs more reliable and more damage against the more common ferrite armor.

I do have a rad one already which is meh out of headshot bursts, but its rad bonus is quite small, and trying to get a bigger bonus could change a lot (its extra base damage as far as mods are concerned after all)

I d go for toxin so i can go for viral hunter build and i can build it for corrosive too

Toxin and heat are always good even though toxin is preferred, but heat procs are never bad. Kuva Quartakk has ok status and crit. I was going for a Cold Ephemera and got it with the weapon and even that isn't letting me down thanks to Viral.

Not sure about the hunter build idea. Weapons that mix well with it usually have high single shot damage and/or crit chance, and the quartakk, while decent in both areas, isn't amazing either. And on top, i sure as hell am not going to wait for bleeds to kill enemies while I could fill them with more bullets :) I leave that to my gram prime

Going for Heat and building weapon for Viral makes it pretty strong

I generally prefer poison, as it can be converted both to corrosive and viral, depending on what I need at the moment. Be warned though, that Kuva Quartakk is complete and utter trash.

it is a very strong weapon, provided you can make use of one firing mode in hip fire and other while aiming.

But yeah, toxin makes sense if those are your only two options to build.

It's barebones status rifle with clunky mode switching. Barely deals any damage. I mean, you can riven it I guess, but I don't consider rivens a balancing factor. Not something worth the bother of lich hunting, and definitely not what I'd call an everyday weapon.

I personally can suggest Twin Stubbas. Unassuming, but pretty solid offhand. Makes good sound. Didn't get far with other Kuva automatic weaponry yet.

offhand is kinda taken by how amazing the kuva nukor is though, and for the stubbas themselves.. I dunno, when I tried them they felt like pea shooters for some reason. The quartakk has a decent primary fire once you fix the slower fire rate, and it's burst more is basically a long range shotgun where each "pellet" has full status chance and full listed damage.

and after tests in the simulacrum.. yeah the viral+hunter mun combo doesn't work well. Guess its something that mainly workds with rivens to take up the crit chance/multishot. It can kill fast, but is VERY dependant on RNG, and fails miserably as soon as headshots aren't easy/possible.

All in all, think i'll prefer staying between pure corrosive or a mix of corrosive and radioactive damage, thought a possible viral build does mean toxin is better than electricity

Edit: after further tests, i think going full corrosive is the way to go. Maxing out the number of armor-reducing procs seems to matter more than the bonus damage of radiation damage against bombards. Seem toxin wins!

People still have a lot to learn.

Hybrid build beats all, if weapon can reach over 40% CC it can be a critical weapon, and with high status it becomes hybrid.

Kuva Quatrakk is a hybrid weapon, and riven is not needed to reach critical potential, with burst fire having above average CD it suggests you should do it. And that makes it reach full potential, try it.

People still missed the fact that Kuva Kohm is an insane hybrid, tho that one needs a specific riven to reach that build.

Twin Stubbas are better than one secondary Kuva weapon, Seer, otherwise all other kuva weapons in secondary slot are just flat out better.
