Kuva and Tenet weapons are one of the more sought-after weapon types in Warframe. These weapons are tied to the Kuva Lich and Sisters of Parvos system where you need to hunt down your adversary Grineer or Corpus super soldier respectively, to get your hands on them.
All of these Kuva and Tenet weapons come with a special bonus– an additional base Elemental damage, which depends on the particular Warframe you use to hunt down and Mercy Kill the Larvling (in case of Kuva Liches) and the Candidate (in case of Sisters of Parvos). The Warframes, in this case, are called Progenitors and based on their category, you’ll get specific Elements tied to the weapon you’ll get upon the completion of the entire hunt.
