best element or status for 1999 enemies

[Kewu]

I'm wondering what element/status does more damage to 1999 eneimes
I don't think techrot is considered infestation so like blast or slash or whatever probably won't work as effectively.
same with scaldra, like Viral or Corrosive? idk

or will there be new element specifically for 1999 like imagine oxidation element
air + heat

i also dont think bane of infested work and idk scaldra soo
any thoughts?

scaldra are weak to corrosive/impact
techrot are weak to gas/magnetic

I just use my Grineer setup vs Scaldra, and Corpus setup vs Techrot. Viral is useful vs both of them.

I'm always running Nova with Nourish subsumed, so on my primary I run Corrosive for Scaldra and Magnetic for Techrot, Nourish provides the Viral.

EDIT: And correct, Bane of Infested doesn't work on Techrot.

You even get a free gas damage from the calendar.

I run hilydern... hyldren...? shield mom and a viral incarnon mk1 braton with the usual galvanized mods/primed mods and do fine

Viral+heat, viral+electric and pure electric are the best against any faction. Having magnetic somewhere is useful also.

I put magnetic now on every build if it fits to burst overguard. Also does an aoe electric proc on max stacks. Good for galv aptitude and such. But yea viral heat will melt most enemies.
