Video Coming Soon


Weapon Information

  • The Kuva Zarr is the Kuva variant of the [Zarr] with increased overall stats of Base Damage, Critical Chance, Status Chance, Fire Rate, Magazine Size, Ammo Capacity, but has a Slower Reload Speed with a Mastery Lock of 15.

  • The Kuva Zarr can be obtained by vanquishing a Kuva Lich or by trading from a player a Lich they conquered.

  • The Kuva Zarr comes with 3 V Polarity Slots, making the builds in this guide require 3 Forma.


Tenet Element

The Kuva Zarr has the option of having a Bonus Tenet Element based off the Progenitor Warframe chosen when spawning a Kuva Lich. For this guide I suggest Toxin, allowing the weapon to be strong against all factions, and allowing for mostly positive flexibility.


Advantages

  • Cannons explode in a 7 meter radius upon impact which then splits into 6 smaller bombs.

  • Pinpoint Accuracy.

  • Initial Hit and Explosion apply Status separately.

  • Reloads one cannon at a time, but can be interrupted to fire.

  • Barrage Mode has an innate 1.6 meter Punch Through with an innate 10 Multishot.


Disadvantages

  • Explosions inflict Self-Stagger with Linear Damage Falloff from 100% to 30% from Impact Point.

  • Cannon Mode has Travel Time with arching.

  • Poor Ammo Capacity, Magazine Size, and Ammo Efficiency.
