Best Progenitor Damage for the Tenet Plinx?

[st0815]

Hi, I'm trying to do this build but don't know what the Progenitor damage on the Tenet Plinx is. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aOB3jMblpZM&t=9s

What can you recommend?

I tolerated that awful video just enough to look at their elements...

It's just corrosive and radiation, so you'll be looking into a "neutral" element (heat, radiation, magnetic, impact) and then have to mod on the corrosive yourself

"Meme meta video" aside, that's what I'd do anyways. Normally I'd pick Toxin as a bonus, but HCET rules are annoying and the innate heat interferes with any bonus toxin

Thx. Is the element decided by the warframe that does the Granum Void mission or by the warframe that stabs the new sister?

It's decided by the very first mission to spawn the sister. Which is going through the hand into the void, coming out and stabbing the sister. This is true for each tenent weapon.

I think the first part of your message is referring to who you did the original granum void quest with? That doesn't matter.

I would go with toxin and then slap only toxin on the gun itself too. Same goes for any slow and hard hitting weapon currently. If you don't stack status then go for toxin.

Do I have to do the Granum Void everytime for a new sister candidate to spawn? Or will they continuously show up like the grineer lich candidates?

Normally I'd always go Toxin because it can be modded into Corrosive or Viral

The problem is the HCET rules, which will treat the Heat as the first element if you try to mod. So that gets in the way of that plan and you need something "neutral" to work around instead

yup candidate spawns only when you do the granum void, you won't get sister by mistake like grineer lich.

using the alternative attack on Xoris makes the granum void trivial with any frame.

It sure helps but I tend to get killed^^

maybe YOU stack toxin

not every 1 does, Me? no toxin

[Wintermute]

Don't go toxin on Plinx, it defaults into gas. Best idea is to probably go eletricity, to roll the native heat into radiation, and then build elements with mods as needed.

That aside, it's actually a pretty nice gun.

As with all (or at least 90%) of Tenet/Kuva weapons my suggestion is either Radiation or Magnetic for the progenitor. I like triple-stacking double elements.

it happens sometimes but you can instantly revive yourself, you can avoid dying too much by simply moving around a bit while Xoris is charging. I farmed tenet weapons with squishy frame recently and I had no trouble, so I believe you can do it easily if you stack a few health/shield mods instead of being stuborn and keeping your frame squishy like I did ^^

[Drago]

What warframe are you using for the Granum void runs? Maybe the players here can give some warframe loadouts or strategies that might help surviving that scenario and more effectively getting the Sister afterward if they knew what you have option wise?

[Asphe]

I went with Mag on all my Tenet secondaries, since that allows me to add P.Heated Charge and Convulsion to get Mag/Rad

But really... get what fits your Riven? Otherwise if you won't bother using a Riven, I go by what Primed elemental mods I have.

Besides if you go for Mag on your Tenet weapon, you can bring Mesa to the Granuum Void fight and that's just 30s of holding down the button. For Tox, I just use Saryn and AOE'ed a lot. Since I only went for Heat on the melee weapons... that just took patience -.-

-----

Primary -> Tox|Mag (Primed Cryo Rounds = gas|Mag+Cold)
Shotgun -> Tox (Blaze + Primed Chilling Grasp/Primed Charged Shell = Blast+Rad+Corrrosive)
Pistol -> Mag (Primed Heated Charge + Convulsion = Rad)
Melee -> Heat
