Warframe Abilities
Spectral Scream
Exhale a deep breath of elemental destruction. Tap to cycle through elements, hold to cast. The chosen element applies to all of Chroma's abilities.
Elemental Ward
Depending on Chroma's elemental alignment, an offensive area-of-effect is created. Chroma and its nearby allies are imbued with defensive energy.
Vex Armor
Chroma fortifies squad Armor when his Shields are damaged or he kills an enemy with a melee weapon. He increases squad Weapon Damage when he loses Health or he kills an enemy with a ranged weapon, double the effect on weak point kills.
Effigy
Chroma turns his pelt into a massive sentry that strengthens nearby allies and engulfs enemies in elemental attacks.

The Primed variants offer improved stats over the base versions, and most importantly better armor which is what we call truly end-game.

3 Source RelicsChroma Prime Farming Strategy and Radshare Tips
Optimal Approach:
- Go for the Neuroptics Blueprint first. It has the lowest item drop rate in the Chroma Prime set and will be the hardest to farm, when comparing to other parts.
- Best relic to focus: Lith C3 (currently vaulted - trade with a player for the relic or wait for Prime Resurgence access).
- In full radiant relic squad, you have a 34.39% chance per run vs 10.00% when running solo.
- After that: Systems Blueprint from Meso C4 (10.00% per-player for Radiant).
Refinement Tips:
- Use Radiant (100 Traces) on Lith C3 while going for the Neuroptics Blueprint; always run radshares in groups.
- At current rates, you can expect roughly 2 Radshare runs for 50% odds for the required prime part, compared with about 7 solo runs.
- Run Intact/Exceptional Relics only when farming for common or uncommon primes (these are great for ducat farming), use Void Traces for the relics with hard to farm parts. Especially Axi Relics.
