Kuva HekBuildTips that save runs
- Condition Overload (Mechanic) for additive/multiplicative damage interactions
- Multishot mods on shotguns for immediate damage benefit on first trigger pull
- Kuva Nukor or Nukor for applying the Microwave status
- The damage increase is generally additive with other damage mods like Point Blank, but can be multiplicative in some cases.
- The damage increase is not applied on the hit that procs a new status effect, only on subsequent hits.
Mistakes that waste runs
- Players might expect the damage increase to apply to area-of-effect damage, but it only affects direct hit damage.
- Players may assume the damage bonus applies immediately to the hit that causes a new status, but it only applies to following hits.
- Players might not realize that kills from status procs (like Hunter Munitions) still contribute to gaining stacks.
