"Kuva is an exceedingly rare red fluid coveted by the Grineer Queens. It can be obtained in Kuva Missions, and is used to Cycle Givens or build rare blueprints." -Tooltip for Kuva, Warframe
Properties and types:
In the story of warframe, Kuva's physical form is a blackened liquid with Crimson hues, while being a part of a process known as "
Continuity".
Applications and history (WARNING: SPOILERS included):
Beginning with the primary usage known as
Continuity, Kuva is used to take one person's conscious, and establish it into another person's body, essentially a form of "ceremonial bodysnatching".
There are currently two known forms of Kuva: Blue Kuva, and Crimson Kuva. The former is mentioned only in an event known as Naberus. Blue Kuva, as described in-game, will allow a being to take a body, but only for a short time, before returning to their own.
Crimson Kuva is used in a lot of lore aside from Continuity. Here is a list of all uses and
possibilities:
·Continuity
·Textile creation, such as a "Kuva Cord". (See fandom)
·Weapon making, such as a "Slaytra" or "Aegrit". (See fandom)
·Cycling Riven Mods (See Fandom)
·Specific
Resurrection processes (See "Voruna Leverian" in fandom or youtube)
·Kuva Liches (See Fandom)
·Possibly (SPOILERS) Narmer Veils (See Kuva in fandom)
