Best Progenitor Element for Kuva Kohm?

[The Hoss Behind the Slaughter]

So I've defeated my current Kuva Lich and now I'm ready to start farming for another one. I wanna go for the Kuva Kohm, but before I do, what progenitor element should I get for it? If it helps, I have all four of the dual stat chance/elemental damage mods.

I like heat base element and use toxin+cold mods to create viral.

either toxin for viral or going with heat so you can make viral+heat.

Heat
Viral+Heat is disgustingly powerful

[Sceles]

With innate heat you can get corrosive+heat or viral+heat without using Blaze or some other heat dmg mod. Highly not recommended, as Blaze is a very good mod and hard to replace with anything more useful.

With innate toxin you can form corrosive using only P Charged Shell. You could also try cold and slash for viral+slash, though I have no idea how well that would work.

If you're going to put in all elemental mods for viral+heat or corrosive+heat anyway then it doesn't matter which one you'll pick. But I'd say heat is much worse because of what I said about Blaze and because toxin allows more ways to experiment.

Could always try Magnetic simply to have the status effect, while building for Viral and Heat. This way it's effective against health, armor, and shields.

Did not even think of this. Could be the best suggestion in the thread. This will reduce the chance to proc other status effects by a minuscule amount, but the effectiveness vs high lvl corpus will gain a huge boost. Building magnetic the regular way still makes no sense even today, so it's easy to ignore. But if one can get it for free along with viral and heat.. yeah, it's huge. My own Kuva Kohm is still at 54%, and now I'm thinking of getting another lich and making it 60% magnetic.

Could you get something with innate toxin? So you could build toxin+viral?

I actually did that and it's a pretty awesome jack of all trades.

However you lose some edge against grineer but not much cause random magnetic procs take away possible useful procs that work agains grineer, weapon is strong anyway so it does not matter tho.

Yeah nah, it doesn't matter a whole lot. The one big thing I'm thinking about is whether DE continues to add enemies like the Corpus Treasurers who have a whole ♥♥♥♥♥♥' 99% damage reduction on their shields, blocking Toxic as well. That is by large and far the biggest use for Magnetic damage and status, and if DE adds more enemies like it, then finally Magnetic could get shown some attention in the modding meta. Here's to hoping with the Corpus Railjack expansion, whenever that may be.

Try Magnetic Kuva Nukor. Built it for Viral+Heat (2 60/60 and Primed Heat) and weapon has radiation on it's own so I call that build "♥♥♥♥ everyone and every single one of them in particular".

Primes tons of procs nearly instantly and cheeses all the enemies that can be effected by status.

Yeah I'd been fighting between either an Impact or a Magnetic Kuva Nukor. I enjoyed the Magnetic, but the Impact also has use against shields while also potentially staggering the enemies who aren't killed in an instant.
I may settle back to Magnetic, but ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ is a Magnetic Nukor Lich annoying to fight. Constant Rad AND Mag procs while getting Pulled and Bullet Attractor'd. Hahahaha, I am not looking forward to that noise again.

Yeah lol that was like cancer enriched AIDS, it was when I found out I can eat my own Kavat as Grendel. Cause rad proc, but I also did not see ♥♥♥♥.

Bullet attractor can be such an aids too if there's a lot of enemies around.

Prolly the worst Lich I've did, sure Ayanga can be a meme with one shots but magnetic nukor is just hell

I go toxin myself. Right now viral is meta, but if it's nerfed, toxin can be used with corrosive, which is still useful (just less right now).
Heat can be used as itself or rad. Heat is good, but also might get nerfed someday (if they remove the armor debuff, it will pretty much make it useless). Rad is fine, but I think corrosive is better.
