Are kubrow's worth anything?

[Kowalkski]

Just wondering if there is still a worth to getting a good print?

[The Big Brzezinski]

Raksa kubrows recharge your shields, making them ideal pets for Hildryn. Sahasa kubrows are a source of energy which a high-efficiency Ivara can use to Prowl indefinitely. I don't know if Chesa kubrows still harvest plants or not.

Regardless of which Kubrow you get, they make good pets on your ship.
Yeah, 1 will be wondering on the ship (except they don't go in the cockpit area).

In the mid-late game they tend to die very quickly and even with decent mods they can be very hard to keep alive in the late game, most opt for sentinels because you can mod the sentinel and their weapon separately. But they aren't useless, I know some late-game players who have a Kubrow for capture missions, I use my own Kavat for stealth missions and my Kubrow for mindless resource grinds to help me open more lockers and clear weak trash mobs while I look for resource nodes in the lower level maps. But always good to keep in mind you need stabilisers to have them at max HP which can be annoying to get.

ultimatly all companion are useless.

I mostly use them for fashion.

Just the one. Even in the future, cats and dog together? No, no, no... (plus kittehs look cuter on the kat beds)

-----

cats / dogs just die too easily vs tougher enemies / AOE. You really have to be moving around a lot (which forces the pets to move as well, else they WILL sit down on a pool of lava or chlorine dioxide). But for Steel Path and below, they can help a lot. I use config slots to tailor pets to each frame/mission (i.e. Oxylus for hunting/gathering/mining)

Regardless... just too squishy. If it's a long duration arbi/etc, I usually take out a Djinn... having a pet some of the time is better than none of the time. Else be prepared to have your operator pull pet-revive duty constantly.

Get MR points from them too (not that mr means much other than access to good rivens)

[Mooman]

Mecha mod set is useful. Increased damage vs. a single target and status spread over 40m can add nuke ability to non nuke frames.

Kubrows are good too if you're willing to stat stick for status and have the 60/60 kubrow mods.

Situational and take a lot of forma but far from useless.

[Mikoto]

They are better than sentinels imo because you can actually revive them mid-mission. Which is something that can be game changing when fighting high level enemies that 1-shot your sentinel.

It is 100% personal preference though, there are no real game defining downsides between picking sentinels over pets and vice-versa.

Ah, thanks. Didn't find that one yet.

This.

2x cheat deaths, tho my kubrows and charger rarely go down enough to matter (+ revive as they port to you so you don't need to run back hundreds of meters to them)

The only sentinel I could justify is the dijin (spell check) for the self revive in arbitrations if at some point they could die... "If"

[Wanderer]

I have gotten 10-20p for kubrow imprints sometimes. People want a certain breed with a certain look and I guess 20p is worth it.

um mine does almost every time i log on.

kubrows are good for beginners as a little support if you make their attack strong enough. the animal instinct is also very useful. everything else is cosmetic. higher levels should get a smeeta kavat or a vulpa.... however its called.

Kubrows are just mastery fodder

Do you want an immotal pet that can spray viral AoE on enemies ? Do you want a pet that can heal you instead of dying once in a while ?
If you said yes to any of those questions, then the vulpa is for you.


It's bit sad there is little balance when it comes to pet. Sentinel are bad because they get one shot 2m inside a mission thats not mercury or earth. Kubrow are better, but have little tools that help the player, beside vacuum. Kavat are the step above, providing tools and the ability to be resurected, but they die a lot in harder content. And vulpa are the final step, providing tools and being immortals.


OFC, it's a PITA because vulpa are ugly AF and we can't use the kavat skins on them. Also, they all look the same, while kavat and kubrow have RNG to make them somewhat unique looking.

Sentinels are the worst imo, i have primed regen and every stat mods on my helios prime and it dies in first 5min in corpus steel path survival, just so annoying.

Oh yes, as I said : sentinels<kubrow<kavat<vulpa

It's sad, but it is what it is.
