"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)

door, that she was not supposed to know about, and drew forth A Flask that she would've been glasses for even looking at. A Flask of Crimson Kuva, the
scarlet seal of continuity. Permanent." -Grandmother, Naberus Mobile sourced Story, Warframe.
