Some Warframes were Prime from the start. Others ascended. Lavos, the master of transmutation, bowed to no one as he forged his own path to valor.

Warframe Abilities
Ophidian Bite
Lash out with a toxic serpentine strike, consuming the target to heal Lavos. Hold to imbue all abilities with <DT_POISON_COLOR>Toxin.
Vial Rush
Dash forward, crashing through enemies and leaving an icy trail of broken vials. Hold to imbue the next ability cast with <DT_FREEZE_COLOR>Cold.
Transmutation Probe
Launch a probe that converts Health and Energy Orbs into Universal Orbs that provide both, and ammo pickups into Universal Ammo Pickups. The probe shocks enemies in close proximity. Each electrocuted foe reduces other ability cooldowns by 1.5s. Hold to imbue the next ability cast with <DT_ELECTRICITY_COLOR>Electricity.
Catalyze
Catalyst Probes erupt from Lavos and douse combatants in a fiery gel. Damage is doubled for each element afflicting an enemy. Hold to imbue the next ability cast with <DT_FIRE_COLOR>Heat.

Optimal Approach:
- Go for the Systems Blueprint first. It has the lowest item drop rate in the Lavos Prime set and will be the hardest to farm, when comparing to other parts.
- Best relic to focus: Lith L7.
- In full radiant relic squad, you have a 34.39% chance per run vs 10.00% when running solo.
- After that: Chassis Blueprint from Lith G14 (16.67% per-player for Radiant).
Refinement Tips:
- Use Radiant (100 Traces) on Lith L7 while going for the Systems 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.
