Take to the skies with this golden bird of destruction.
Zephyr Prime is currently vaulted. It moved into the vault on December 17, 2019. You can still acquire relics through player trading and Prime Resurgence windows, then run coordinated Radiant shares for better rare-part odds.

Tail Wind
Hold while airborne to hover Zephyr with reduced movement. From the air, tap to dash forward, or aim down to dive bomb enemies below.
Airburst
Launch a burst of massively dense air. Hold to send enemies flying, tap to pull them toward the burst. Damage increases per enemy hit.
Turbulence
Creates a wind shield around Zephyr, redirecting all incoming projectiles.
Tornado
Create deadly tornadoes that seek out and engulf enemies. Tornadoes deal the elemental Damage Type they absorb the most. Shoot engulfed enemies to inflict extra damage. Hold for stationary tornadoes or tap for wandering ones.

| Armor | 105 | 135 | +30 |

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

Optimal Approach:
- Go for the Blueprint first. It has the lowest item drop rate in the Zephyr Prime set and will be the hardest to farm, when comparing to other parts.
- Best relic to focus: Meso Z1 (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 Lith Z1 (10.00% per-player for Radiant).
Refinement Tips:
- Use Radiant (100 Traces) on Meso Z1 while going for the 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.
