Kuva Nukor | Crit/Heat DPS (Anti-Grineer)

Note: Use Primed Target Cracker only if using Cascadia Overcharge with consistent overshields, Arcane Avenger, Adarza Kavat or Harrow for flat critical chance boost to take advantage of the 10.5x critical damage.

Otherwise, use Scorch in place of Primed Target Cracker.

Mod Breakdown

Damage: At max stacks, [Galvanized Shot] provides +120% damage per status and Secondary Merciless provides +360% damage. Since [Kuva Nukor] can proc 4 different statuses itself (hidden microwave status doesn't seem to count for [\[Nukor\]](/items/arsenal/992/nukor/) itself), the total damage becomes 4x120% + 360% = +840%.
Multishot: Galvanized Diffusion and Lethal Torrent together gives +290% Multishot, Lethal torrent also provides Fire rate bonus
Viral/status: [Frostbite] and [\[Pistol Pestilence\]](/items/arsenal/405/pistol-pestilence/) create viral procs which boost damage to health (up to 4.25x at 10 stacks) and boost status chance
Heat : [\[Primed Heated Charge\]](/items/arsenal/416/primed-heated-charge/), boosts heat DoTs which can stack infinitely and refresh prior stacks, doing the bulk of damage
Crits : [Primed Target Cracker] is used to boost the high base CD, but ONLY when used in combination with a flat crit booster like Arcane Avenger. We do not slot Primed Pistol Gambit/Crit chance mods due to the abysmal base CC. If you do not run crit, replace this slot with [\[Scorch\]](/items/arsenal/401/scorch/) to further boost heat DoTs.
Faction: [Primed Expel Grineer] when fighting grineer, [\[Primed Expel Corrupted\]](/items/arsenal/1406/primed-expel-corrupted/) when fighting corrupted. Double dips on heat DoTs (2.4x boost). Use regular bane if no primed (still 1.69x DoT boost)
Exilus: Primed ammo mutation or normal ammo mutation

Arcane

The new arcane Secondary Encumber is able to proc almost every single status (10 in addition to the 4 from [\[Nukor\]](/items/arsenal/992/nukor/) to give 1020% extra damage from [\[Galvanized Shot\]](/items/arsenal/5518/galvanized-shot/), compared to +480% from cascadia flare).
cascadia flare gives +480% dmg which ramps incredibly quickly
Cascadia Empowered now gives additional 750 raw damage for every status afflicted. Since [Kuva Nukor] can afflict about 10 to 20 status per second, you can get potentially up to 15,000 raw damage per second in addition to the base beam.
Cascadia Overchage gives 300% crit chance which is a huge dps boost on [Nukor] due to its huge crit multiplier.
