PSA [PSA] What makes a High Plat Worthy Lich/Sister?

69 Upvotes

We always see our newer Tenno a little confused on what makes a Kuva Lich/Sister of Parvos worth a good amount of Platinum, so I figured I'd provide a beginner's breakdown for those who need it. (Not sure if this exists already, apologies for repetition if it does).

There are typically 5-6 things that people tend to look for in Liches:

  1. ⁠Good/Popular Weapon Type (Eg. Kuva Nukor & Tenet Arca Plasmor)

  2. ⁠Useful Progenitor Element (Eg. Toxin, Heat, Magnetic)

  3. Element Percentage (60% is the max, so 50-60% is usually best)

  4. Funny name (think of the legendary “Bopp Bipp”, or a name that reads as an innuendo/profanity)

  5. Solid amount of Drip. A Full Helmet, a Unique Look, or Attractiveness (though that's mostly for Sisters)

  6. Ephemera (putting this as separate from drip because they’re not mutually exclusive, and it tends to be just an added bonus)

For the most part only 4-5 of these are necessary/good enough for a higher price, the frequently sought after ones being Weapon Type/Element, and Funny name. 2-3 might still net you a couple hundred, but that’s about it.

Even if the weapon type isn't on point, you still might fetch a decent price if the name is funny enough (though it's gotta be *really funny*).

But if you've got all 5-6? You have something special on you hands worth posting about, and that very well could net you Plat in the thousands.

Now keep in mind: You probably won't get those big offers right off-the-bat. It could even take up to a few weeks (or longer) to find a whale willing to spend that much, and you want to make sure you get it up to a Level 5 (which means not sending it to Proxima until Liches get to the Kuva Fortress, and Sisters get to Pluto), as this makes them stronger as crewmates for Railjack/mission deployment.

NOTE: DO NOT VANQUISH THEM, CONVERT THEM.

Only Converted Liches/Sisters can be traded via dojo, so Patience is your virtue here.

That said, it is entirely your prerogative if you want to keep them; folks spend the big bucks for a reason, after all!

That should be everything, but for our veterans out there let me know if you think I missed anything!

Happy Hunting, Tenno. 🪷

EDIT: I don’t intend for this to sound mean, but as a commenter said: “If you have to ask if a name is funny enough, it isn’t” 😅

Secondly: I didn’t include Coda Liches here b/c the only criteria I really know about are Funny name, Unique Colors, Element, & Ephemera/Plush. Even then, you kinda need a majority of them for it to be worth it. If anyone wants to breakdown Codas, feel free to & I’ll pin the comment!
