How To Farm Orthos Prime

Optimal approach

  • Go for the Blade first. Getting all 2 required copies 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 Axi D6.
  • With all four players opening Axi D6 at Radiant, you have a 59.04% chance per run vs 20.00% when running solo. So opening the same relic as a squad is always better.
  • After that: Blueprint from Lith S19 (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 Axi D6 while going for the Blade. 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 3 Radshare runs for 50% odds of getting all 2 required copies, compared with about 9 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.
