Lavos Prime

Active: its relics drop in missions right now.

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.

How To Farm Lavos Prime

Optimal approach

  • Go for the Systems Blueprint first. Getting the required prime part takes the most runs at the given refinement making it the hardest to farm. Even then the part is not guaranteed (Pray to RNGesus!).
  • Best Relic to focus on is Lith L8.
  • With all four players opening Lith L8 at Radiant, you have a 34.39% chance per run vs 10.00% when running solo. So opening the same relic as a squad is always better.
  • After that: Neuroptics Blueprint from Neo V13 (20.00% per-player at Radiant). Repeat farming and opening the relic until you have everything you need.

Refinement and radshares

  • Use Radiant (100 Traces) on Lith L8 while going for the Systems Blueprint. For squad odds, all four players must open that relic at Radiant. This increases your chances of getting the part.
  • As per the game odds, you can expect roughly 2 Radshare runs for 50% odds of getting the required prime part, compared with about 7 solo runs.
  • Keep relics Intact for Common rewards. Radiant gives the highest chance for Uncommon and Rare rewards; use the refinement listed for each part in the farming plan. Never open Axi relics for rare parts solo, it's not worth it.
