My personal utilitary Kuva Nukor.

Probably my best companion in this adventure.

About this build :

• Secondary Dexterity is a must-have, the interaction with your melee weapon is immensely powerful. Do not fall for Secondary Merciless.
• Replace Pistol Ammo Mutation with Eject Magazine if you are not using Synth Fiber and/or Synth Deconstruct on your companion.
• Magnetic allows this build to handle 4 elements, including viral.
• [Seeker] + Ruinous Extension help firing trough walls, doors and small objects. It is also easier to spread status on large crowds with these.
• Due to the very high fire rate, multishot and status values, be gentle with the trigger : no need to long press the trigger, everything under your crosshair will get its 10 stacks of magnetic-viral-radiation in 1 second (really, see numbers below).

• Ice Storm is superior to Frostbite and offer more comfort when using the Kuva Nukor due to the substantially bigger magazine.

• Theoretical stats (from IG values 34% Magnetic / Frostbite - Proc-Per-Magazine) :

• Theoretical stats (from IG values 60% Magnetic / Frostbite - Proc-Per-Magazine) :

• Theoretical stats (from IG values 60% Magnetic / Ice Storm - Proc-Per-Magazine) :

--> Less than one second of fire is sufficient to apply 10 stacks of viral, radiation and magnetic in any case.
-> Exact value is 0.81s to get 10 stacks of viral, radiation and magnetic when using Ice Storm, and 0.72s when using Frostbite.
--> The proc distribution is in favor of the 60% Magnetic : Viral and Heat remain the same, however the balance between Radiation and Magnetic is much better.
--> The difference between Forstbite and [Ice Storm] in term of procs is negligible : the extra comfort gained thanks to an increase in magazine size is largely in favor of keeping [Ice Storm] and ditching [Frostbite]. If you are using one or two Synth mods on your companion, you will basically never ever press the recharge button except if you voluntarily empty the entire magazine.

• Practical testing (Proc-Per-Magazine / [Ice Storm]) :

Numbers obtained in practical testing are matching expectations (~175 heat procs per entire magazine).

Even if this build is utilitary-oriented, you can still inflict a pretty good amount of damages once Secondary Dexterity and [Galvanized Diffusion] are activated.

Also, enjoy [Condition Overload].
