Not even a minute in and I feel called out. I love railjack and my first Lich was so awesome I had to recruit em. Wish they could at elast man the guns but all they can do is guard. But hey. Nothing that gets on my ship. Gets off alive.
Happy you got an awesome Lich for your Ship :D I'd also like them to do the normal Crew tasks or at least be easier to bring into normal missions though ;)
@MHBlacky_ENG I just asign them to on call crew beacon. Then not only do they have a chance of showing up randomly but you can also summon them at will. Fun fact they count as seperate entities so you can have 2 simultaneously.
A important detail you forgot to mention is that you need to forma Kuva Weapons 5 times because it then allows you to level the weapon to level 40 instead of the usual level 30 max. (Each Forma giving the Weapon 2 extra max level increase) which then also gives more Mastery EXP. To be clear it‘s 200 MR EXP per Forma at a max of 5 forma for a total extra 1000 MR EXP when you hit level 40.
Using oull without knowing your order is the easiest way to get that Lich to level 5, you get the first stab correct but it literally tells you nothing. Just do your missions, to work on revealing your symbols. Stab them on the last mission before clearing the first planet (they auto upgrade if you successfully clear the planet so stab them before or you get no value). You should have 2 or almost 2 symbols uncovered by the time you finish the first planet. Then you continue doing your missions on the next planet until you get your third. Only use Oull as a placeholder for mods you do not have or are low on. OR if you happen to get the first two right on the first try, you can just stick the oull mod in the third slot to cut some time trying to figure out the third. This method lets your Lich get to at most level 3 so that you’re not struggling during the boss fight too much.
Nah, if you're revealing the symbols ASAP, which Oull in first blind stabs helps with, you very rarely get to rank 5. And, honestly, power creep has left rank 5 liches as barely a challenge anyway so I'd say if you're struggling with a r5 lich you might need to regroup. Your way is slower and just more offputting, and often requires doing bad mission types to try and draw the lich out of hiding after you've stripmined Earth.
Couple call outs on the lich: they don’t just go away if you choose to ignore them, but you can force despawn them by downing them 3 times without stabbing. This is useful if you are not ready to stab but need them to go away. For example it’s important for defense mission if they spawned next to defense objective. While the lich won’t directly target defense objects they may damage it indirectly by attacking nearby players and some depending on their weapon can 1 shot defensive objectives instant failing the mission.
I’m a new Warframe player and you have actually been the most helpful person in my journey so far making this game such and enjoyable experience! I watch your videos everyday and even when playing I have your videos on the laptop. It’s not just about the content. It’s the way you explain. Thank you and never stop making these guides pls.
Once Warframe comes on Android, I'll probably have enough time to bother to defeat my very first and only Kuva Lich >.> thanks for the vid, although "the easiest and fastest" way is still WAAAAY to overcomplicated for me to give a damn :D
Spawned my lich without knowing anything about the system after a seven year break from the game. Currently being taxed - but this is definitely going to make things a lot easier - thank you for the guide!
When I came back to the game, I was so deadass lonely with no one to play with. I decided to keep the sister I spawned 3 years before for a resemblance of playing with someone xD
Just a little thing: The weapons and builds used in TheKengineer’s Archon One-Shot video work wonderfully for Liches too, since they used a similar damage attenuation system.
After you get a lich, (generally I) use ivara to hunt thralls -> Don't get seen, don't get hit (not your only choice - yes, Revenant exists). If your lich spawns in defence mission, use a warframe specter in set location away from the defence objective -> Lich will target the specter instead of defence objective. If you spawn a toxin lich, NEVER use warframe abilities on the lich as this will make the lich proc miasma, a poison cloud that kills everything it touches (maxed Arcane Resistance will not save you). Also a good idea is to leave off hunting liches until can easily handle lvl 90-110 enemies (rank 5 lich enemies lvl) then if mistakes are made or RNG isnt kind the Lich never becomes a problem. And the longer you play Warframe the more mods you will have for better builds. AND if you hunt your lich in a group and you have a toxin lich, its easier to solo than do this in group - I did a public run and the other player kept attacking my lich, making it proc miasma, so i couldn't actually get near my lich. I had to ask them to stop attacking my lich. For the railjack Confrontation - you need to have one of your pilot intrinsics to r5 to enter Saturn Proxima Confrontation mission. Good idea as a minimum to equip MK3 gear from clan dojo Dry Dock research. If your railjack is squishy: hide your RJ in a hollowed asteroid, or other hollow object, so its not noticed by the enemy, and do mission using Amesha archwing. Use skill #1 to keep your warframe alive, and skill #2 to slow enemy craft so you can shoot them.
Just a little helpful tip if your litch keeps shredding your health. Khora's ensnare ability works on them, so when they spawn use her 2 and spam it until your litch is downed. I've used her for every litch fight after i found that out.
I’m so. Goddamn. Glad. For you in this explanation about using Oull in the 1st slot. 90% of players forget to do this, which makes the hunt much longer than normal. I have literally done over 40+ Sisters of Parvos hunts, including 4 in less than 2 hours a month ago. Oull is beyond cheap, and it is an easy mod to obtain through trading. You earned this like, bro. 😅
People are going to get mad at you if you leave your lich to despawn on its own, because that takes forever and only one can spawn at a time. Down the lich three times in a row without executing it to force it to despawn right away.
If a lich/sister spawns always engage and fight it, even if you dont want to stab them. only one can spawn at a time and you want the other players liches/sisters to spawn to get more murmurs/kuva (you should always engage other players liches/sisters as well). if you knock down but not stab 3 times they withdraw
DE could make lich spawning way more fast, less of a chore, "fun" and lore accurate: In kuva syphon missions, as long as the syphon is active, humanoid non-deformed ("deformed": ghouls, nox, kuva guardian, kuva jester and manics...the thrax are somewhat in this category too) grineer units kneel down as thought they were thralls instead of dying and display the weapon above their heads. With each one displaying a different weapon of the ones already displayed. The lich will be the LAST enemy you finish. When an enemy is finished, his weapon goes back into the pool to be displayed. To avoid "crowding" that could impact cpu perfomance, only one enemy will be kneeled down for each weapon. When the syphon is destroyed they bled out. Progenitor system remains with some more sensible element alterations. Simple, fast and direct to the point. And we also get kuva/relic chance because it is a syphon mission. Bonus worldbuilding points for being accurate on what is SAID during the old blood cinematic: that they work hard so maybe they are noticed...then why a larvling, a fresh batch grineer, is spawned to be the lich instead? Also the queen only seeing the troops effort when they are right on her nose (or lack of one xD) guarding the syphon is more adequate to her fickle, vane personality. Rather than a whole operation involving the "royal" guard just to see if a larvling is adequate or not.
As a Quartakk enjoyer, I am very happy to see that particular Lich show up in this video and am very much looking forward to seeing where you put it on the tier list.
Tbh,at this point in the game i would not even bother with liches anymore. Progress your quest to zariman and use your time for grindind standing there to get your first incarnons. 🤷♂️
I hate to agree but its true it seems lich weapons are kinda meh in present day warframe. And the grind/system was already bit of pain in the arse already.
I just want them for the sole purpose of MR grinding. Which begs the question.... And I'm not sure if anyone can answer this, but... Is it possible to have two of the same kuva weapons with different elements and double dip the MR?
What, can't I feel satisfaction over killing a Lich? I may be a weirdo but I like fighting them since it gives me something to do. I'm rank 5 with the Holdfasts but I'm a mastery rank away from being able to buy incarnons, and even further away from obtaining them through SP Circuit.
One important tip abt railjack is u need to hv rank 6 in all command,gunner etc (i think) so it’s better to farm a bit intrinsic on railjack mission. I had to learn it the hard way tho.
*Main rule when lich hunting:* _NEVER SHOOT YOUR LICH!_ Unless you're stabbing, of course. Lich can convert up to 10 nearby enemies to thralls. Since thralls are a resource you're looking for and it's very limited (10 max -- and not in each mission type!), most of those will be your extra. With this tactic, you can unlock 2 glyphs of the code and total most of the way to the 3rd one -- all on a single planet! As for stabbing strategy, unlock the first 2 glyphs, place them and a random third one, then stab. If you miss, you'll gain significant progress. If you hit, stab again.
4:41 How come Oberon isn’t in Radiation? Why is Kullervo in heat even tho he doesn’t have heat based abilities, and Why is Atlus… the PUNCHING IMPACT Warframe in TOXIN?!
I always check these kuva lich guide in hopes for anything faster I can do, but there never is. It's nice with guaranteed weapons with whatever (limited) status you want. But this is definitely my least favourite grind in this entire game. I think a part of it for me is it's just slow, but not time wise, spawn wise. 4 minute Defence, 5 waves to kill 70 enemies? Extermination with random breaks where you have to guess the way forward because enemies in front hasn't spawned, and won't for another 200m. The only bearable ones are capture (when it doesn't turn into extermination) and ON PLANET sabotage (on ship easily takes more like 4 minutes). I really wish they at least had a steel path variant. I've done just litches for days now and there's like 0 enemies. I did some weapons testing after that in a normal survival and it felt like a shock how many enemies there were. Like why is the enemy density almost decreased from the star chart version of the content. It's genuine the worst part.
One small detail was missed. The Requiem Mods have only 3 charges and they lose one charge once you find the right combination with the lich, so each mod can only be used to kill 3 liches
Best strat that works for me and has a chance to successfully stab the litch before even going to a 2nd planet: Do all Murmur mission up until the last one, by then you'd already revealed 2 requiem mods, and just equip oull in 1st slot and stab Litch on final mission. If the 2 revealed mods happened to be in the right slots, off to Saturn proxima you go, if not, then at least you'll more or less know and will probably get the Litch on the 2nd planet. With this strat the Litch will never go past rank 3.
As someone who likes farming liches and platinum, I want players to know how profitable they can be. If you get a lich with a cosmetic ephemera, Converting it will unlock the ephemera for you, while also allowing you to sell the lich to another player for plat. A lich with a weapon near the 60% bonus damage max is also worth a good amount on the market.
I have a bunch of Kuva weapons. I'm specifically leaving Tenet ones for now because setting up the right weapon with the right progenitor sounds like a lot more work. They need to make it possible to get multiple larvlings/candidates in the same mission. Don't want the first weapon option you got? Dismiss that larvling/candidate and summon another.
I would honestly farm for ephemera first, and sort the weapon elements out later. A good Xoris build is all you need to do the Granum Voids... as well as a bunch of high level coins but if you do the Pluto Corpus ship capture you should be getting a refund on that coin for each run.
@@Joe90hthat’s exactly what I did. I got all the ephemera’s and now I’m sorting out correct elements for each gun, same idea with the liches. Plus for sisters, any Sister mission with the hounds that also spawns a Treasurer will always drop a Zenith crown, so you’ll eventually be swimming in crowns.
I just want to say to any beginners who are looking for advice just scroll through this channel! He’s made so many good videos that carried me from mastery 7 all the way to currently 20 and destroying steelpath I’d highly recommend watching some of his guides if not all of them!
How you should set up your requiem Mods. A proper Guide Mechanics: Level - Lichs start at level 1. Each time you fail the sequence, the lich gains a level up to a max of 5. Level 5 Liches are only good if you want to convert them as they will be stronger as part of your Railjack crew, or when they come to help you in missions. Anger - There are 5 levels of anger, Indifferent > Annoyed > Fuming > Furious > Enraged. The higher the anger, the greater the chance the lich will appear in the mission. The anger resets when the lich levels up, and increases for every acolyte you finish on the lich nodes on the planet you are meant to be on. Time - Just how dam fast you want to finish the lich. The Guide: Key Take Aways - Ignore if you want a Level 5 lich, Don’t finisher your Lich unless you have a viable new sequence. Step 1: You have a lich after you, with the weapon and element you want. Good. Run the lich missions, but do not finisher your lich until you have unlocked your first symbol. If your lich shows up, just down it 3 times and it will run away (while this happens multiple extra acolytes will spawn, which is a bonus). This keeps the Anger Meter up, so he will come back ASAP. Step 2: First finisher. You know your first Requiem symbol, so set up your Parazon the following way: “Known Requiem 1”, Oull, “Random Requiem”. This gives you a 33.3% chance of success “Known Requiem 1” in slot 1, and a 14.28% Chance for “Random Requiem”. Best Odds you can get for first finsiher Step 3: Repeat Step 1, but this time until you unlock your second Requiem “Known Requiem 2” Success in slot 1: Step 4: You are now guaranteed to finish your lich in 1 or 2 more finishers, your parazoan needs to be “Known Requiem 1”, Oull, “Known Requiem 2” This gives you the best odds of completing it in 2 (Refer to the Monty Hall problem if you want to know why). If that fails, then “Known Requiem 1”, “Known Requiem 2, Oull”. And your done. Note: If “Known Requiem 2” turns out to be “Random Requiem” from your first lich finisher, then the order is “Known Requiem 1”, “Known Requiem 2, Oull”. Failure in slot 1: Step 4: You now know “Known Requiem 1” is not in slot 1, so try the following order: “Known Requiem 2”, Oull, “Known Requiem 1”. This gives you the best chance to finish the lich (Refer to the Monty Hall problem if you want to know why). If success full in slot one, but not 3, your order is “Known Requiem 2”, “Known Requiem 1”, Oull. Failure in slot 1 twice: Step 5: This is the worst timeline Your order is: Oull, “Known Requiem 2”, “Known Requiem 1” if that fails its Oull, “Known Requiem 1”, “Known Requiem 2” (If you want to know why this order, refer to the Monty Hall problem). Following this guide, gives you the best chance of success for minimum lich finishers: First finisher: 4.76% Chance of success Second finisher: 16.67% Chance of success Third finisher: 65.43% Chance of success 4th finisher: 13.24% Chance of success Making it the easiest and fasted way fastest, because you don’t have to keep building up the Anger meter and your getting it done in 3 planets most of the time. Notes: Some people disagree with the Monty Hall problem aspects of this guide, that is valid. But the core of the guide is: Guess 1: R1,Oull,Random, Guess 2: R2, Oull, R1 --> Guess 3 if R2 was correct R2, R1, Oull, Guess 3 Oull, R2, R1 --> Guess 4 if R2 was incorrect Oull, R1, R2. And its alternative with out the Monty Hall Problem Aspects is: Guess 1: R1,Oull,Random, Guess 2: R1,Oull,Random,R2, R1, Oull --> R2, Oull, R1 Guess 3: Oull, R1, R2 --> Oull, R2, R1 Either way, the core if this guide is correct for minimising time, and the number of lich encounters, there for final level of the lich. For an explanation of why the the Monty Hall Problem is relevant (or not): Relevant when determining the location of R1 and Oull in guess 2 and beyond. For Guess 2, you guess R1 is in slot 2, because its ne natural place to put it gain information when Slot 1 is reviled the option it can't be. You there for change your guess to slot 3, and put oull in slot 2.
Perfectly timed video! I'm a returning player after a 2 year hiatus and was just trying to get into kuva weapons. Great video and very descriptive, you have my gratitude 👍. Also if anyone has any tips for a returning player at Mr 17, I'm all ears and would be highly appreciated 😊
Me opening at least 30 requiem 3s for a ris and still got nothing (i am so close to just materialising in the warframe universe to strangle the lich myself immortality or not)
I had the exact same problem with my last lich... used up my stock of void traces and no Ris. And like ringlord said, I just said "screw it" and traded for one. If you don't have the plat, maybe ask around in trade chat or Maroo's Bazaar to see if you can trade a requiem mod that you don't need for one that you do need.
not going to lie, been stuck with my Lich for years. heck, i never even unlocked Railjack until they made them far more accessible (long after the popularity died). so i never even got past earth missions in that mode. so ontop of having to stomach the lich, stomach the OP kuva opening missions and the whole Mastermind thing, you have to hope the Lich goes into a Proxima you have access to? like christ. would not be surprised if a frame like Sevagoth had low players+helminth rates until they ran+glitched it during a Summer game fest. (where people got *two* of them). like that seems extremely convoluted for something relatively unique, but itself has lots of barriers. so you have a choice between stomaching OP Kuva opening missions and the glitchy kuva siphon missions, or people can do the casually ultra-neat/good vanilla relic opening missions (exterminate, capture). if i want to mindlessly do relic missions, i'd at least do the regular relic missions that'd actually have direct rewards+players than going matryoshka-doing.
Note: if ur lich has an ephemera or a high % in the weapon, u can convert it to trade it for plat or another lich in the crimson branch on a dojo clan.
I actually do plan to recruit a Lich for my Railjack at some point, once I get all of my weapons out of the way. Gonna decide which frame's helmet looks coolest on their shoulder and give them a Grattler since it's funny to give them an Archgun on foot.
@@KartyrOfficialyes if you put corrupt charge on desert wind and any mod that increases based on combo multiplier on your melee weapon , if you spam your 4 you build up the mod to 11x. You can do that along with a level zero reflex coil and spam heaves with a 12 times multiplier as long as you don’t light. This works with glavies but it’s a bit harder to do. If you need clarification please ask.
the problem with that first stab with oull is that sometimes the game has a bug where you attempted to stab your lich once (with oull), but the game count it as a double stab. Since you only equipped oull in the first slot and no requiem mod in the second, this becomes an auto fail and make your lich stronger. I hate this very much That's why i always wait for at least 1 symbol to be revealed (and equip it on the second slot afer oull) before i even try to stab my lich for the first time, so even if the bug triggers, at least i tested a symbol whether it's in the right position
Would be awesome if you could also bring attention to a little known mechanic: If you leave the lich alone, it will convert multiple other enemies into thralls. Too many less experienced players simply jump on my lich and down it immediately, slowing down the murmur process.
Wish this video created long ago, my first lich haunted me over a year, i had no idea of the requiem mods at all and i just ignored it on Earth for that long.
When I farmed my first Lich I hated it. It's now one of my favorite things to do when I'm bored. Especially with the changes to Magnetic, Mesa makes light work of them already, but now rolling a weapon to have Innate Magnetic and adding Viral Slash It's just hilarious. EDIT: Don't be afraid to guess your first set of Requiem Mods. I've guessed my lich on the first try one time, and guessed the first two correctly on the first try more than 4 times. I've only hunted 6 Liches. Say them in your head when you put them on if it flows off the tongue it could very easily be the right order.
Some things to note about Liches: Oull is an RNG drop from completing your lich fight, so it won't help with your first lich unless you buy it from someone. There is a max of 10 Thralls in one mission, unless a Lich spawns in, where the Lich can create up to 10 more Thralls You should always fight Lich even if you think it's the wrong Requiem, for 2 reasons: If it is wrong, and you haven't tried that Requiem in that slot before, you get 30 Thralls worth or progress immediately, which if combined with getting all 20 Thralls, means you can get 5x as much progress in one mission. And 2, you might learn your Requiem was actually correct, and then you can finish your Lich faster. Atop that, your Lich has rewards for failing the Requiem check, so there are several reason to just stab and fail rather than to leave them. The only reason you should leave them, is if you struggle at that level on content, or bragging about killing level 1 Liches, but I can assure you no one is going to give a damn about that unless it was your first time doing that.
HI Blacky! I see you're very busy with the guides, but I wonder whether you're going to be continuing your beginner play-through series. While it's not particularly useful for the players like me who already completed all the quests, it's still very fun to watch. :)
Well I came across getting my first Lich last night and I already screwed up by using Rhino 😩 no idea it showed which gun I’d get…didn’t even know it gave me a gun if I kill the guy
do you have a video like this about those Parvos sisters? im MR16 and no clue what they are or is it like the case of i have to figure it out alone cause people dont wana spoil the fun like not talking about Archon shards?
good tip: Banshee with high strength - at least 243% - then Gloom (90% slow). Use silence near Liches or Sisters and watch them helpless slowed down in their own animations. At this point, any weapon will be fine. Makes these fights trivial honestly
Hey blacky awesome video as always, was just thinking would it be possible to make us learn about demolisher I struggle a lot about how to kill them fast and can’t find a proper tutorial
I would never recommend people buying Oulls. No joke those things drops so often I can't get rid of them just taking out liches/sisters, I have 6 atm. I do my runs the same pretty much everytime I put the Oull in the middle then the two I learned first and last.
I've had my kuva lich for at least 3 years, and still haven't taken him down yet. Since I watched this video, I might try and get started on requiem mod farming until I can go after him.
I love the timing this video come out as I'm having my Lich arc because I want to reach rank 30 to bless people Edit: I'm currently loving my Kuva Karak Obama, buuut I want to make it stronger it takes too much to kill the enemies sadly, also I might change the element to fire instead of toxin
So I did the math, if you do the stabs correctly you can defeat a lich in 3 hits at most and 2 hits 50% of the time Also by the time I get to the last stab I have all 3 requiem mods and usually I like to replace my Oull with an actual requiem mod unless I'm missing one and don't feel like grinding it :P
GRACIAS GRAAACIASSS GRAAAAAAACIASSSSSSSSS POR QUE VÁS A HACER LA TIER LIST DE LAS ARMA KUVA, JUNTO A SUS MEJORES BUILDS ACTUALIZADAS EN 2024/2025. Y ESPERO QUE, SIN PRESIÓN ALGUNA, PUEDAS HACER LO MISMO PARA LAS ARMAS TENET, Y LUEGO LAS INFESTADAS. RESPECT TO YOU, MAN. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK. 💪💪
my tactic is like that too. first one allways oull . and for example if second is khra and third is fass. if i parazon and learn that khra is not the second one change the order to khra oull and fass. if new parazon khra is not the true one, then new order is oull fass khra ,or fass oull khra (if i detect the third one before last parazon i change the oull) and if i want kuva lich (with a good weapon with a nice percentage element ) on my railjack i level up him to level 5
This is really useful thanks. I have my first lich, but I've not attempted to hunt him yet. Is it a viable strategy to grind out 3 Oull mods from relics, then just win the lich fight first time? Also do they get stronger when you kill the goons to find out the correct symbols?
As with other mods, you can only equip one requiem mod of the same name at a time. So you can only replace one mod with Oull. Also Oull always succeeds at moving the fight on to the next stage, but it doesn't reveal which mod should have been in the right place. The liches only power up when you attempt to kill them with your parazon. So as long as you just hunt the goons and don't perform finishers on the lich, they're going to stay level 1.
Hmm this video would have been useful if it played in game after killing the Kuva queen, because as new player I accidently killed a Litch with Gauss, now I have sH*ty Kuva weapon with Impact damage, and I can't get rid of it without wasting my time.
What's great ab this game is you never waste time, you always gain something unless you fail a mission (and even then you at least get mastery or some loot in specific missions). Consider this, if anything, some extra MR, you will also get creds and resources by getting to it
blacky missed it, but during valence fusion you can choose which element you want to keep if its a different element as for time, yeah, sadly you're boned
i agree with almost everything except i would strongly recommend at least downing them 3 times to get them to instantly leave. so many people when I was lich hunting would just pass their lich leaving it just standing in the mission preventing other liches from spawning unless a teammate goes to kill it. when this would happen and the lich would also bug to be gone but not despawned would kill my motivation to do any of it public. there was also the problem of people waiting on all 3 requiems before even touching the lich just to end up at a level 5 anyway.
I know what you mean. And I agree. I think it's about striking the right balance. Waiting for all 3 Requiems before even attempting is not only bad for the team but also slower because you'll still have to run for ages after that to start figuring out the order. I think the best mix is as I showed it in the vid. Wait for the 1st Requiem and start attacking from that point on. This way you won't drive up the level too high but you also have a more efficient time management and the Team doesn't loose out on too many opportunities ;)
Is the nukor a good kuva weapon? I made a lich b4 i knew what they were and been stuck with it for probably a year now. But once i do beat it, is that worth it?
I'm at 5:32-21:32, and so far, he hasn't explained kuva weapon overleveling, weapon valence fusion, element percentages, time commitments, requiem mod sequences, and proper planning with target elements. It's up to the individual player ultimately to commit to taking on a kuva lich, and they will require you to make the correct requiem sequence on your parazon, so it's important to get 2 of each requiem mod before you start. Lohk, xata, khra, ris, netra, and vome. Each of these has a phrase or poem attached to them that, when paired together, forms a poem, and one can use the revealed requiems to form a poem that makes sense to aid in finding the sequence the lich is weak to. Prepare first before you commit to getting a kuva lich.
Real good way to just kick your lich in the nuts and laugh is genuinely just use Revenant. Rev can use Thrall on liches and boost Reave, which does increased percentile damage to anything thralled. It usually lasts long enough for you to do two passes and annihilate their health bar. That is unless they've nerfed it since the last time i tried.
I mean, I want to convert my current sister of Parvos because of the 29% fire (I don't know how low that is), and I think the sister with the weirdo personality can be a good clash for my Railjack crew. Not to mention, I think once the Technocyte Coda are out there will be people selling them, don't tell me that won't happen lol.
Blacky mentioned the "Progenitor Bonus" of the element capping at 60%, but he didn't mention the lowest number it can generate with, that being at 25%. So the Sister you have is towards that lower end. He also didn't mention just what a converted Lich or Sister can do on your railjack, or rather, what they *can't* do, which is almost everything. The only thing a converted Lich or Sister can do on your ship is run security, protecting you from any boarders. If you've got a good railjack with gunners, and are able to keep the ramsleds from even hitting you in the first place, that makes security crew almost useless. So in my opinion, you're better off leaving any converted Liches or Sisters off your crew and just running two gunners and an engineer. However! There is one more thing a converted Lich or Sister can do for you in game. If you're in a mission and go down and revive yourself, losing one of those self-revive attempts, one of your new friends can show up later in the mission and start blasting enemies for being rude enough to hurt their buddy. For this reason, I'd say converting at least one Lich/Sister is fine. Finally, there's one last thing you can do with converted Liches/Sisters: Sell them. Sorta. You can trade a converted Lich/Sister to another player, just like anything else you can trade. Why would you do this? Because if you trade a Lich/Sister to someone, they can then kill that lich and take their weapon, which they might want in case they're having trouble getting a certain weapon to drop, or some other reason. Personally, I don't think this is a very economical way to make platinum, since you have to go through the entire process and effectively defeat the lich yourself, using up those requiem mod charges, only to gain maybe a small amount of plat for your efforts. But it is something that can be done. For completeness's sake, in order to trade a lich, either you or the person you're trading with needs to be in a clan with a Crimson Branch room built in their dojo.
Getting one is rng, but you can pick what on you want by using a warframe that matches the element of the ephemera. Side note if you convert linchs with ephemeras you can trade them
@lookalike4805 I can't get mine to work. I'm not used to the new damage rework yet (just came back to prep for 1999). Not sure what mods to be using anymore I guess.
@@ghostblainetcg Brakk wants uncombined heat, crit, status and status damage is nice. Faction mods if you're feeling like it but not everyone likes them... Projectile speed in the Exilus to make your shots go further is nice too.
Ah my first lich during the first update... German suplex me and kill me instantly.... Also failed to stab him about uh 15 times.... Also back then the lich would expands itself to the whole star chart and the satisfaction my friend, exquisite.
You can still convert them if you don't want them, they can be your Railjack pal or sit on your inventory forever. It's never a good idea to leave them be considering that they steal resources from you.
I don’t know if he mentioned it, but you have to have all railjack intrinsics at 5 to be able to access the railjack mission without getting farried there
Which Loadout do you use against your Liches?
phenmor 😁😁
i run it with epitaph prime and galv aptitude but truth is it isnt necessary
The OG :D
Haha yeah, Phenmor alone is easily able to solo them but hey, who doesn't like a lil overkill now and then :P
@@MHBlacky_ENG i recently got it.
its the only primary i use and thanks for the build for base dmg 👍
Not even a minute in and I feel called out. I love railjack and my first Lich was so awesome I had to recruit em. Wish they could at elast man the guns but all they can do is guard. But hey. Nothing that gets on my ship. Gets off alive.
Happy you got an awesome Lich for your Ship :D
I'd also like them to do the normal Crew tasks or at least be easier to bring into normal missions though ;)
@MHBlacky_ENG I just asign them to on call crew beacon. Then not only do they have a chance of showing up randomly but you can also summon them at will. Fun fact they count as seperate entities so you can have 2 simultaneously.
Not even a minute in?, but he doesn't start talking about it until 3/4 of the way into thw video
@Crsan-ow2qg 54 second mark
@Crsan-ow2qg well before the 54 second mark
A important detail you forgot to mention is that you need to forma Kuva Weapons 5 times because it then allows you to level the weapon to level 40 instead of the usual level 30 max. (Each Forma giving the Weapon 2 extra max level increase) which then also gives more Mastery EXP. To be clear it‘s 200 MR EXP per Forma at a max of 5 forma for a total extra 1000 MR EXP when you hit level 40.
Using oull without knowing your order is the easiest way to get that Lich to level 5, you get the first stab correct but it literally tells you nothing. Just do your missions, to work on revealing your symbols. Stab them on the last mission before clearing the first planet (they auto upgrade if you successfully clear the planet so stab them before or you get no value). You should have 2 or almost 2 symbols uncovered by the time you finish the first planet. Then you continue doing your missions on the next planet until you get your third. Only use Oull as a placeholder for mods you do not have or are low on. OR if you happen to get the first two right on the first try, you can just stick the oull mod in the third slot to cut some time trying to figure out the third. This method lets your Lich get to at most level 3 so that you’re not struggling during the boss fight too much.
People will learn and Intuit these Things as they hunt more Liches.
Nah, if you're revealing the symbols ASAP, which Oull in first blind stabs helps with, you very rarely get to rank 5. And, honestly, power creep has left rank 5 liches as barely a challenge anyway so I'd say if you're struggling with a r5 lich you might need to regroup.
Your way is slower and just more offputting, and often requires doing bad mission types to try and draw the lich out of hiding after you've stripmined Earth.
@@Joe90h it takes like max an hour
Couple call outs on the lich: they don’t just go away if you choose to ignore them, but you can force despawn them by downing them 3 times without stabbing.
This is useful if you are not ready to stab but need them to go away. For example it’s important for defense mission if they spawned next to defense objective. While the lich won’t directly target defense objects they may damage it indirectly by attacking nearby players and some depending on their weapon can 1 shot defensive objectives instant failing the mission.
I’m a new Warframe player and you have actually been the most helpful person in my journey so far making this game such and enjoyable experience! I watch your videos everyday and even when playing I have your videos on the laptop. It’s not just about the content. It’s the way you explain. Thank you and never stop making these guides pls.
Aaaaw thank you so so much for the super encouraging feedback
Once Warframe comes on Android, I'll probably have enough time to bother to defeat my very first and only Kuva Lich >.> thanks for the vid, although "the easiest and fastest" way is still WAAAAY to overcomplicated for me to give a damn :D
Spawned my lich without knowing anything about the system after a seven year break from the game. Currently being taxed - but this is definitely going to make things a lot easier - thank you for the guide!
Kept my first Lich Lady. She always calls me Darling and is sassy af. Just had to recruit her
Fair. No objections :3
When I came back to the game, I was so deadass lonely with no one to play with. I decided to keep the sister I spawned 3 years before for a resemblance of playing with someone xD
Just a little thing: The weapons and builds used in TheKengineer’s Archon One-Shot video work wonderfully for Liches too, since they used a similar damage attenuation system.
After you get a lich, (generally I) use ivara to hunt thralls -> Don't get seen, don't get hit (not your only choice - yes, Revenant exists).
If your lich spawns in defence mission, use a warframe specter in set location away from the defence objective -> Lich will target the specter instead of defence objective.
If you spawn a toxin lich, NEVER use warframe abilities on the lich as this will make the lich proc miasma, a poison cloud that kills everything it touches (maxed Arcane Resistance will not save you).
Also a good idea is to leave off hunting liches until can easily handle lvl 90-110 enemies (rank 5 lich enemies lvl) then if mistakes are made or RNG isnt kind the Lich never becomes a problem. And the longer you play Warframe the more mods you will have for better builds.
AND if you hunt your lich in a group and you have a toxin lich, its easier to solo than do this in group - I did a public run and the other player kept attacking my lich, making it proc miasma, so i couldn't actually get near my lich. I had to ask them to stop attacking my lich.
For the railjack Confrontation - you need to have one of your pilot intrinsics to r5 to enter Saturn Proxima Confrontation mission. Good idea as a minimum to equip MK3 gear from clan dojo Dry Dock research.
If your railjack is squishy: hide your RJ in a hollowed asteroid, or other hollow object, so its not noticed by the enemy, and do mission using Amesha archwing. Use skill #1 to keep your warframe alive, and skill #2 to slow enemy craft so you can shoot them.
Just a little helpful tip if your litch keeps shredding your health. Khora's ensnare ability works on them, so when they spawn use her 2 and spam it until your litch is downed. I've used her for every litch fight after i found that out.
I’m so. Goddamn. Glad. For you in this explanation about using Oull in the 1st slot. 90% of players forget to do this, which makes the hunt much longer than normal. I have literally done over 40+ Sisters of Parvos hunts, including 4 in less than 2 hours a month ago. Oull is beyond cheap, and it is an easy mod to obtain through trading.
You earned this like, bro. 😅
People are going to get mad at you if you leave your lich to despawn on its own, because that takes forever and only one can spawn at a time. Down the lich three times in a row without executing it to force it to despawn right away.
Finally fully explained how this works thank you so much !
If a lich/sister spawns always engage and fight it, even if you dont want to stab them. only one can spawn at a time and you want the other players liches/sisters to spawn to get more murmurs/kuva (you should always engage other players liches/sisters as well). if you knock down but not stab 3 times they withdraw
WHOOO BABYYY THIS IS WHAT I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR
Aaaaw happy you're hyped :D
DE could make lich spawning way more fast, less of a chore, "fun" and lore accurate:
In kuva syphon missions, as long as the syphon is active, humanoid non-deformed ("deformed": ghouls, nox, kuva guardian, kuva jester and manics...the thrax are somewhat in this category too) grineer units kneel down as thought they were thralls instead of dying and display the weapon above their heads. With each one displaying a different weapon of the ones already displayed.
The lich will be the LAST enemy you finish.
When an enemy is finished, his weapon goes back into the pool to be displayed.
To avoid "crowding" that could impact cpu perfomance, only one enemy will be kneeled down for each weapon.
When the syphon is destroyed they bled out.
Progenitor system remains with some more sensible element alterations.
Simple, fast and direct to the point. And we also get kuva/relic chance because it is a syphon mission.
Bonus worldbuilding points for being accurate on what is SAID during the old blood cinematic: that they work hard so maybe they are noticed...then why a larvling, a fresh batch grineer, is spawned to be the lich instead?
Also the queen only seeing the troops effort when they are right on her nose (or lack of one xD) guarding the syphon is more adequate to her fickle, vane personality.
Rather than a whole operation involving the "royal" guard just to see if a larvling is adequate or not.
As a Quartakk enjoyer, I am very happy to see that particular Lich show up in this video and am very much looking forward to seeing where you put it on the tier list.
Tbh,at this point in the game i would not even bother with liches anymore. Progress your quest to zariman and use your time for grindind standing there to get your first incarnons. 🤷♂️
I hate to agree but its true it seems lich weapons are kinda meh in present day warframe. And the grind/system was already bit of pain in the arse already.
I just want them for the sole purpose of MR grinding.
Which begs the question.... And I'm not sure if anyone can answer this, but... Is it possible to have two of the same kuva weapons with different elements and double dip the MR?
@ragincanehdian5925 you can have two of the same but not double dip for mastery
@@boeserKadser dang, that's too bad! Thanks for the insight though 🙂
What, can't I feel satisfaction over killing a Lich? I may be a weirdo but I like fighting them since it gives me something to do. I'm rank 5 with the Holdfasts but I'm a mastery rank away from being able to buy incarnons, and even further away from obtaining them through SP Circuit.
One important tip abt railjack is u need to hv rank 6 in all command,gunner etc (i think) so it’s better to farm a bit intrinsic on railjack mission. I had to learn it the hard way tho.
Rank 5, and only for one intrinsic. Not all. Farm intrinsics on veil proxima railjack missions
*Main rule when lich hunting:* _NEVER SHOOT YOUR LICH!_
Unless you're stabbing, of course. Lich can convert up to 10 nearby enemies to thralls. Since thralls are a resource you're looking for and it's very limited (10 max -- and not in each mission type!), most of those will be your extra. With this tactic, you can unlock 2 glyphs of the code and total most of the way to the 3rd one -- all on a single planet!
As for stabbing strategy, unlock the first 2 glyphs, place them and a random third one, then stab. If you miss, you'll gain significant progress. If you hit, stab again.
THANK YOU SO MUCH!! I've been struggling to kill it and idk how and now my lich is in the kuva fortress, thanks for the guide.
Happy I could help ^^
Wish you much success in taking them down ;)
4:41 How come Oberon isn’t in Radiation? Why is Kullervo in heat even tho he doesn’t have heat based abilities, and Why is Atlus… the PUNCHING IMPACT Warframe in TOXIN?!
I always check these kuva lich guide in hopes for anything faster I can do, but there never is. It's nice with guaranteed weapons with whatever (limited) status you want. But this is definitely my least favourite grind in this entire game.
I think a part of it for me is it's just slow, but not time wise, spawn wise. 4 minute Defence, 5 waves to kill 70 enemies? Extermination with random breaks where you have to guess the way forward because enemies in front hasn't spawned, and won't for another 200m.
The only bearable ones are capture (when it doesn't turn into extermination) and ON PLANET sabotage (on ship easily takes more like 4 minutes).
I really wish they at least had a steel path variant. I've done just litches for days now and there's like 0 enemies. I did some weapons testing after that in a normal survival and it felt like a shock how many enemies there were. Like why is the enemy density almost decreased from the star chart version of the content. It's genuine the worst part.
One small detail was missed. The Requiem Mods have only 3 charges and they lose one charge once you find the right combination with the lich, so each mod can only be used to kill 3 liches
Best strat that works for me and has a chance to successfully stab the litch before even going to a 2nd planet: Do all Murmur mission up until the last one, by then you'd already revealed 2 requiem mods, and just equip oull in 1st slot and stab Litch on final mission. If the 2 revealed mods happened to be in the right slots, off to Saturn proxima you go, if not, then at least you'll more or less know and will probably get the Litch on the 2nd planet. With this strat the Litch will never go past rank 3.
As someone who likes farming liches and platinum, I want players to know how profitable they can be. If you get a lich with a cosmetic ephemera, Converting it will unlock the ephemera for you, while also allowing you to sell the lich to another player for plat. A lich with a weapon near the 60% bonus damage max is also worth a good amount on the market.
How do we sell the Kuva Lich Ephemera ?
@@thenezayloic174crimson trading branch .
The receiver must not have any liches active
Kinda annoyed they didnt add the improved requiem gains from the sisters.
Kuva liches take FOREVER, well, it feels like it.
I swear they are like 10x slower
And farming liches is now a lot quicker than it used to be, before Sisters of Parvos update.
I have a bunch of Kuva weapons. I'm specifically leaving Tenet ones for now because setting up the right weapon with the right progenitor sounds like a lot more work. They need to make it possible to get multiple larvlings/candidates in the same mission. Don't want the first weapon option you got? Dismiss that larvling/candidate and summon another.
Yeah, I feel that. Especially with the Corpus your suggestion would make a lot of sense ;)
I would honestly farm for ephemera first, and sort the weapon elements out later. A good Xoris build is all you need to do the Granum Voids... as well as a bunch of high level coins but if you do the Pluto Corpus ship capture you should be getting a refund on that coin for each run.
@@Joe90hthat’s exactly what I did. I got all the ephemera’s and now I’m sorting out correct elements for each gun, same idea with the liches. Plus for sisters, any Sister mission with the hounds that also spawns a Treasurer will always drop a Zenith crown, so you’ll eventually be swimming in crowns.
Those liches really need a rework for drop rates and those requiem murmur
I just want to say to any beginners who are looking for advice just scroll through this channel! He’s made so many good videos that carried me from mastery 7 all the way to currently 20 and destroying steelpath I’d highly recommend watching some of his guides if not all of them!
Aaaaw, you wouldn't believe how happy it makes me to see feedback like this
I just had to start a lich for the kuva sobek and before getting it as an option I got every single other kuva weapon
@ you’ve helped me grow as a player and a person thank you!
@ also I watched your kuva sobek video and I went for toxin instead of heat because I was originally gonna go for heat
How you should set up your requiem Mods. A proper Guide
Mechanics:
Level - Lichs start at level 1. Each time you fail the sequence, the lich gains a level up to a max of 5. Level 5 Liches are only good if you want to convert them as they will be stronger as part of your Railjack crew, or when they come to help you in missions.
Anger - There are 5 levels of anger, Indifferent > Annoyed > Fuming > Furious > Enraged. The higher the anger, the greater the chance the lich will appear in the mission. The anger resets when the lich levels up, and increases for every acolyte you finish on the lich nodes on the planet you are meant to be on.
Time - Just how dam fast you want to finish the lich.
The Guide:
Key Take Aways - Ignore if you want a Level 5 lich, Don’t finisher your Lich unless you have a viable new sequence.
Step 1: You have a lich after you, with the weapon and element you want. Good. Run the lich missions, but do not finisher your lich until you have unlocked your first symbol. If your lich shows up, just down it 3 times and it will run away (while this happens multiple extra acolytes will spawn, which is a bonus). This keeps the Anger Meter up, so he will come back ASAP.
Step 2: First finisher. You know your first Requiem symbol, so set up your Parazon the following way: “Known Requiem 1”, Oull, “Random Requiem”. This gives you a 33.3% chance of success “Known Requiem 1” in slot 1, and a 14.28% Chance for “Random Requiem”. Best Odds you can get for first finsiher
Step 3: Repeat Step 1, but this time until you unlock your second Requiem “Known Requiem 2”
Success in slot 1: Step 4: You are now guaranteed to finish your lich in 1 or 2 more finishers, your parazoan needs to be “Known Requiem 1”, Oull, “Known Requiem 2” This gives you the best odds of completing it in 2 (Refer to the Monty Hall problem if you want to know why). If that fails, then “Known Requiem 1”, “Known Requiem 2, Oull”. And your done. Note: If “Known Requiem 2” turns out to be “Random Requiem” from your first lich finisher, then the order is “Known Requiem 1”, “Known Requiem 2, Oull”.
Failure in slot 1: Step 4: You now know “Known Requiem 1” is not in slot 1, so try the following order: “Known Requiem 2”, Oull, “Known Requiem 1”. This gives you the best chance to finish the lich (Refer to the Monty Hall problem if you want to know why). If success full in slot one, but not 3, your order is “Known Requiem 2”, “Known Requiem 1”, Oull.
Failure in slot 1 twice: Step 5: This is the worst timeline Your order is: Oull, “Known Requiem 2”, “Known Requiem 1” if that fails its Oull, “Known Requiem 1”, “Known Requiem 2” (If you want to know why this order, refer to the Monty Hall problem).
Following this guide, gives you the best chance of success for minimum lich finishers:
First finisher: 4.76% Chance of success
Second finisher: 16.67% Chance of success
Third finisher: 65.43% Chance of success
4th finisher: 13.24% Chance of success
Making it the easiest and fasted way fastest, because you don’t have to keep building up the Anger meter and your getting it done in 3 planets most of the time.
Notes: Some people disagree with the Monty Hall problem aspects of this guide, that is valid. But the core of the guide is:
Guess 1: R1,Oull,Random,
Guess 2: R2, Oull, R1 --> Guess 3 if R2 was correct R2, R1, Oull,
Guess 3 Oull, R2, R1 --> Guess 4 if R2 was incorrect Oull, R1, R2.
And its alternative with out the Monty Hall Problem Aspects is:
Guess 1: R1,Oull,Random,
Guess 2: R1,Oull,Random,R2, R1, Oull --> R2, Oull, R1
Guess 3: Oull, R1, R2 --> Oull, R2, R1
Either way, the core if this guide is correct for minimising time, and the number of lich encounters, there for final level of the lich.
For an explanation of why the the Monty Hall Problem is relevant (or not):
Relevant when determining the location of R1 and Oull in guess 2 and beyond. For Guess 2, you guess R1 is in slot 2, because its ne natural place to put it gain information when Slot 1 is reviled the option it can't be. You there for change your guess to slot 3, and put oull in slot 2.
So glad you made this video. Been waiting for one from you
Happy you liked it ^^
Yeah, there are some core mechanics that I haven't covered yet and it's time to get to them ;)
Perfectly timed video! I'm a returning player after a 2 year hiatus and was just trying to get into kuva weapons.
Great video and very descriptive, you have my gratitude 👍.
Also if anyone has any tips for a returning player at Mr 17, I'm all ears and would be highly appreciated 😊
your guides have been really useful, even as a bet your builds help me a lot to create my own; Ty for the content Blacky
Okay, this is going to my "I'll do it one day when I have done everything" list
Hahaha no stress, the vid will be up for a while xD
You can also get ephemeras and you can tell which one from the effect they have around the kuva
Me opening at least 30 requiem 3s for a ris and still got nothing (i am so close to just materialising in the warframe universe to strangle the lich myself immortality or not)
just trade another requim mod for ris bro
I had the exact same problem with my last lich... used up my stock of void traces and no Ris. And like ringlord said, I just said "screw it" and traded for one. If you don't have the plat, maybe ask around in trade chat or Maroo's Bazaar to see if you can trade a requiem mod that you don't need for one that you do need.
not going to lie, been stuck with my Lich for years. heck, i never even unlocked Railjack until they made them far more accessible (long after the popularity died). so i never even got past earth missions in that mode. so ontop of having to stomach the lich, stomach the OP kuva opening missions and the whole Mastermind thing, you have to hope the Lich goes into a Proxima you have access to? like christ. would not be surprised if a frame like Sevagoth had low players+helminth rates until they ran+glitched it during a Summer game fest. (where people got *two* of them).
like that seems extremely convoluted for something relatively unique, but itself has lots of barriers. so you have a choice between stomaching OP Kuva opening missions and the glitchy kuva siphon missions, or people can do the casually ultra-neat/good vanilla relic opening missions (exterminate, capture). if i want to mindlessly do relic missions, i'd at least do the regular relic missions that'd actually have direct rewards+players than going matryoshka-doing.
Thanks for this man. I'm a returning player and this helped immensely.
Note: if ur lich has an ephemera or a high % in the weapon, u can convert it to trade it for plat or another lich in the crimson branch on a dojo clan.
I actually do plan to recruit a Lich for my Railjack at some point, once I get all of my weapons out of the way. Gonna decide which frame's helmet looks coolest on their shoulder and give them a Grattler since it's funny to give them an Archgun on foot.
TYSM I NEVER UNDERSTOOD HOW TO DO THESE ALSO PLS LET ME SHOW YOU THE BARUUK PRIME TECH
Tech?
@@KartyrOfficialyes if you put corrupt charge on desert wind and any mod that increases based on combo multiplier on your melee weapon , if you spam your 4 you build up the mod to 11x. You can do that along with a level zero reflex coil and spam heaves with a 12 times multiplier as long as you don’t light. This works with glavies but it’s a bit harder to do. If you need clarification please ask.
the problem with that first stab with oull is that sometimes the game has a bug where you attempted to stab your lich once (with oull), but the game count it as a double stab.
Since you only equipped oull in the first slot and no requiem mod in the second, this becomes an auto fail and make your lich stronger. I hate this very much
That's why i always wait for at least 1 symbol to be revealed (and equip it on the second slot afer oull) before i even try to stab my lich for the first time, so even if the bug triggers, at least i tested a symbol whether it's in the right position
If your lich or sisters came BEFORE you know a symbol... ignore... dont try random... Sisters and Lichs will stay in the same planet...
Would be awesome if you could also bring attention to a little known mechanic: If you leave the lich alone, it will convert multiple other enemies into thralls. Too many less experienced players simply jump on my lich and down it immediately, slowing down the murmur process.
Besten Dank!
Bin zwar schon ein Veteran aus 2014 aber die Info zum beenden der Mission hat echt geholfen…
wh tf r u speaking german?
You are on the internet ffs, speak english.
Wish this video created long ago, my first lich haunted me over a year, i had no idea of the requiem mods at all and i just ignored it on Earth for that long.
When I farmed my first Lich I hated it. It's now one of my favorite things to do when I'm bored. Especially with the changes to Magnetic, Mesa makes light work of them already, but now rolling a weapon to have Innate Magnetic and adding Viral Slash It's just hilarious.
EDIT: Don't be afraid to guess your first set of Requiem Mods. I've guessed my lich on the first try one time, and guessed the first two correctly on the first try more than 4 times. I've only hunted 6 Liches. Say them in your head when you put them on if it flows off the tongue it could very easily be the right order.
you forgot about the second most important aspect of farming liches: cosmetic:ephemeras
thanks all of the other guide were not as much complete as this one !
Some things to note about Liches:
Oull is an RNG drop from completing your lich fight, so it won't help with your first lich unless you buy it from someone.
There is a max of 10 Thralls in one mission, unless a Lich spawns in, where the Lich can create up to 10 more Thralls
You should always fight Lich even if you think it's the wrong Requiem, for 2 reasons: If it is wrong, and you haven't tried that Requiem in that slot before, you get 30 Thralls worth or progress immediately, which if combined with getting all 20 Thralls, means you can get 5x as much progress in one mission. And 2, you might learn your Requiem was actually correct, and then you can finish your Lich faster.
Atop that, your Lich has rewards for failing the Requiem check, so there are several reason to just stab and fail rather than to leave them. The only reason you should leave them, is if you struggle at that level on content, or bragging about killing level 1 Liches, but I can assure you no one is going to give a damn about that unless it was your first time doing that.
HI Blacky! I see you're very busy with the guides, but I wonder whether you're going to be continuing your beginner play-through series. While it's not particularly useful for the players like me who already completed all the quests, it's still very fun to watch. :)
Well I came across getting my first Lich last night and I already screwed up by using Rhino 😩 no idea it showed which gun I’d get…didn’t even know it gave me a gun if I kill the guy
do you have a video like this about those Parvos sisters? im MR16 and no clue what they are or is it like the case of i have to figure it out alone cause people dont wana spoil the fun like not talking about Archon shards?
I'll start working on that as soon as I'm done with my Kuva Weapon Tier List ;)
@@MHBlacky_ENG nice. Thanks dude. I'll definitely keep an eye out!
I remember when I was farming sisters of parvos for my hound.
21 in 3-4 days.
I love my hound.
good tip: Banshee with high strength - at least 243% - then Gloom (90% slow). Use silence near Liches or Sisters and watch them helpless slowed down in their own animations. At this point, any weapon will be fine. Makes these fights trivial honestly
Use Hek Kuva with that setup and aim for head. Takes 80-100% of their health even at 5 Lich rank.
Hey blacky awesome video as always, was just thinking would it be possible to make us learn about demolisher I struggle a lot about how to kill them fast and can’t find a proper tutorial
I would never recommend people buying Oulls. No joke those things drops so often I can't get rid of them just taking out liches/sisters, I have 6 atm. I do my runs the same pretty much everytime I put the Oull in the middle then the two I learned first and last.
My lich has been robbing me for probably 6 months now. I never felt like dealing with all this. I should probably get on that lol. Ty for the guide
my lich has been robbing me since 2020...
I've had my kuva lich for at least 3 years, and still haven't taken him down yet. Since I watched this video, I might try and get started on requiem mod farming until I can go after him.
I love the timing this video come out as I'm having my Lich arc because I want to reach rank 30 to bless people
Edit: I'm currently loving my Kuva Karak Obama, buuut I want to make it stronger it takes too much to kill the enemies sadly, also I might change the element to fire instead of toxin
Happy you liked it
What is your favorite/most used ephemra😅
So I did the math, if you do the stabs correctly you can defeat a lich in 3 hits at most and 2 hits 50% of the time
Also by the time I get to the last stab I have all 3 requiem mods and usually I like to replace my Oull with an actual requiem mod unless I'm missing one and don't feel like grinding it :P
I absolutely hate farming for litches. One of the most boring elements of the game aside from deimos
Just get the bubonico 8 forma that beast and never worry about any weapon again
But it’s still unique 🎉
i like deimos :(
and it used to be harder to farm too
@@Cultwavethat is the most boring advice i've ever seen lmao
totally not me grinding for a maxed out arca plasmor for mag

POR QUE VÁS A HACER LA TIER LIST DE LAS ARMA KUVA, JUNTO A SUS MEJORES BUILDS ACTUALIZADAS EN 2024/2025.
Y ESPERO QUE, SIN PRESIÓN ALGUNA, PUEDAS HACER LO MISMO PARA LAS ARMAS TENET, Y LUEGO LAS INFESTADAS.
RESPECT TO YOU, MAN. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK. 💪💪
my tactic is like that too. first one allways oull . and for example if second is khra and third is fass. if i parazon and learn that khra is not the second one change the order to khra oull and fass. if new parazon khra is not the true one, then new order is oull fass khra ,or fass oull khra (if i detect the third one before last parazon i change the oull) and if i want kuva lich (with a good weapon with a nice percentage element ) on my railjack i level up him to level 5
This is really useful thanks. I have my first lich, but I've not attempted to hunt him yet.
Is it a viable strategy to grind out 3 Oull mods from relics, then just win the lich fight first time?
Also do they get stronger when you kill the goons to find out the correct symbols?
You can only use one oull mod at one time
Edit: Spelling correction
As with other mods, you can only equip one requiem mod of the same name at a time. So you can only replace one mod with Oull. Also Oull always succeeds at moving the fight on to the next stage, but it doesn't reveal which mod should have been in the right place.
The liches only power up when you attempt to kill them with your parazon. So as long as you just hunt the goons and don't perform finishers on the lich, they're going to stay level 1.
Blueprints are permanent? Or do we have to farm them again after use?
Hmm this video would have been useful if it played in game after killing the Kuva queen, because as new player I accidently killed a Litch with Gauss, now I have sH*ty Kuva weapon with Impact damage, and I can't get rid of it without wasting my time.
What's great ab this game is you never waste time, you always gain something unless you fail a mission (and even then you at least get mastery or some loot in specific missions). Consider this, if anything, some extra MR, you will also get creds and resources by getting to it
blacky missed it, but during valence fusion you can choose which element you want to keep if its a different element
as for time, yeah, sadly you're boned
i agree with almost everything except i would strongly recommend at least downing them 3 times to get them to instantly leave. so many people when I was lich hunting would just pass their lich leaving it just standing in the mission preventing other liches from spawning unless a teammate goes to kill it. when this would happen and the lich would also bug to be gone but not despawned would kill my motivation to do any of it public. there was also the problem of people waiting on all 3 requiems before even touching the lich just to end up at a level 5 anyway.
I know what you mean. And I agree. I think it's about striking the right balance. Waiting for all 3 Requiems before even attempting is not only bad for the team but also slower because you'll still have to run for ages after that to start figuring out the order. I think the best mix is as I showed it in the vid. Wait for the 1st Requiem and start attacking from that point on. This way you won't drive up the level too high but you also have a more efficient time management and the Team doesn't loose out on too many opportunities ;)
Can you make a kullervo syam build vid?
Is the nukor a good kuva weapon? I made a lich b4 i knew what they were and been stuck with it for probably a year now. But once i do beat it, is that worth it?
nukor is the best secondary in the whole game
Personally not the best secondary but definitely one of! It's pretty much low budget Torid
While I wouldn't say its the best secondary weapon in the game, the Kuva Nukor is extremely strong. Definitely in the top 5.
Very strong. You can build it either to spread a ton of status, or outright damage enemies.
@@gerkadasa gaze kitgun easily replaced the nukor for me.
And its mostly because of pax charge.
I'm at 5:32-21:32, and so far, he hasn't explained kuva weapon overleveling, weapon valence fusion, element percentages, time commitments, requiem mod sequences, and proper planning with target elements.
It's up to the individual player ultimately to commit to taking on a kuva lich, and they will require you to make the correct requiem sequence on your parazon, so it's important to get 2 of each requiem mod before you start. Lohk, xata, khra, ris, netra, and vome. Each of these has a phrase or poem attached to them that, when paired together, forms a poem, and one can use the revealed requiems to form a poem that makes sense to aid in finding the sequence the lich is weak to.
Prepare first before you commit to getting a kuva lich.
So if I want a specific fire weapon I just have to use any fire frame correct? Or does the projector count
Real good way to just kick your lich in the nuts and laugh is genuinely just use Revenant. Rev can use Thrall on liches and boost Reave, which does increased percentile damage to anything thralled.
It usually lasts long enough for you to do two passes and annihilate their health bar.
That is unless they've nerfed it since the last time i tried.
When coda liches come out how long will it take to drop a vid on them?
Just when I first encountered a Kuva Larvling
I mean, I want to convert my current sister of Parvos because of the 29% fire (I don't know how low that is), and I think the sister with the weirdo personality can be a good clash for my Railjack crew. Not to mention, I think once the Technocyte Coda are out there will be people selling them, don't tell me that won't happen lol.
Blacky mentioned the "Progenitor Bonus" of the element capping at 60%, but he didn't mention the lowest number it can generate with, that being at 25%. So the Sister you have is towards that lower end. He also didn't mention just what a converted Lich or Sister can do on your railjack, or rather, what they *can't* do, which is almost everything. The only thing a converted Lich or Sister can do on your ship is run security, protecting you from any boarders. If you've got a good railjack with gunners, and are able to keep the ramsleds from even hitting you in the first place, that makes security crew almost useless. So in my opinion, you're better off leaving any converted Liches or Sisters off your crew and just running two gunners and an engineer.
However! There is one more thing a converted Lich or Sister can do for you in game. If you're in a mission and go down and revive yourself, losing one of those self-revive attempts, one of your new friends can show up later in the mission and start blasting enemies for being rude enough to hurt their buddy. For this reason, I'd say converting at least one Lich/Sister is fine.
Finally, there's one last thing you can do with converted Liches/Sisters: Sell them. Sorta. You can trade a converted Lich/Sister to another player, just like anything else you can trade. Why would you do this? Because if you trade a Lich/Sister to someone, they can then kill that lich and take their weapon, which they might want in case they're having trouble getting a certain weapon to drop, or some other reason. Personally, I don't think this is a very economical way to make platinum, since you have to go through the entire process and effectively defeat the lich yourself, using up those requiem mod charges, only to gain maybe a small amount of plat for your efforts. But it is something that can be done.
For completeness's sake, in order to trade a lich, either you or the person you're trading with needs to be in a clan with a Crimson Branch room built in their dojo.
@@maikocat That's a lot of useful info, thank you.
I’ve had one for a month and kept executing him and he kept moving planets
@MHBlacky will you do one for the tenet weapons?
Sure, this will come a few weeks after the Kuva one ;)
@@MHBlacky_ENG Better make one for the Technocyte Coda too.
You forgot the mention the ephemeras. I am on like my tenth electric lich
for ephemeras its just rng, so theres no specific way to target farm
Getting one is rng, but you can pick what on you want by using a warframe that matches the element of the ephemera. Side note if you convert linchs with ephemeras you can trade them
Phenmor clears , ya welcome
It clears as soon as you’re MR14. You can’t get it before
I absolutely hate the lich system. I got stuck with my first lich without knowing anything about it and it was, of course the brakk.
Kuva Brakk is a Fantastic Secondary
@lookalike4805 I can't get mine to work. I'm not used to the new damage rework yet (just came back to prep for 1999). Not sure what mods to be using anymore I guess.
@@ghostblainetcg Brakk wants uncombined heat, crit, status and status damage is nice. Faction mods if you're feeling like it but not everyone likes them... Projectile speed in the Exilus to make your shots go further is nice too.
😂😂
Warframe wiki is your friend. Recommend bookmarking it.
Did u leave the walkthrough ? I was enjoying it, tbh but it's ok if u dont want to continue it .
"It's very unlikely to be under MR 5"
A man just completed end game content at MR 0 and made a video about it o-o
1 guy did it... not the average joe lol
Wasn’t a certain planet is locked for MR?
Parazon is why i stopped even trying rto do mine
i use a viral/slash build on valkyr and then tank with hysteria, lots of damage and you take none.
very beginner friendly
Ah my first lich during the first update... German suplex me and kill me instantly.... Also failed to stab him about uh 15 times.... Also back then the lich would expands itself to the whole star chart and the satisfaction my friend, exquisite.
15 times o.O... Man, I can't even begin to imagine how satisfying it must've felt to finally take 'em out xD
@@MHBlacky_ENG The instant kill suplex when got a wrong combination though, still felt until now.
Can’t get the FASS mod to drop! So frustrating and just getting the relics in the first place is painful enough.
Maybe you can trade one of your duplicates for it ;)
@ yeah, I’m a new player and really haven’t tried trading yet. It’s a little daunting. Probably going to have to just do it.
Funny enough the dropout during the Kuva execute can actually be abused by making sure you change your Warframe to get better progenitor
just means better chance to get what you what, unless you mean something else im not understanding
I currently have one Lich still squatting on Mars for a month now because I don't want the weapon and I'm bored of them already
You can still convert them if you don't want them, they can be your Railjack pal or sit on your inventory forever. It's never a good idea to leave them be considering that they steal resources from you.
So if an OULL parazon mod always gets it right, cant i basically have 3 OULLS so i will have no problem guessing the right order?
No, you can only equip one Oull, sadly.
No u can’t have 2 same mods
On avg i think its something like 10-20 kills after the flicker
Very noice guide
Now do Sister one >:)
Thanks a lot!
What about an Onslaught guide?
It would be nice if you could just put three Oull mods...
Haha yeah, the capitalist way of doing it :D
The Lich Obliterator
I don’t know if he mentioned it, but you have to have all railjack intrinsics at 5 to be able to access the railjack mission without getting farried there
