Tenno artistry. Ancient craft. A weapon of surgical precision and devastating effect. Each bolt fired by Zhuge Prime explodes shortly after embedding.
Zhuge Prime is currently vaulted. It moved into the vault on May 25, 2021. You can still acquire relics through player trading and Prime Resurgence windows, then run coordinated Radiant shares for better rare-part odds.

4 Source RelicsZhuge Prime Farming Strategy and Radshare Tips
Optimal Approach:
- Go for the Barrel first. It has the lowest item drop rate in the Zhuge Prime set and will be the hardest to farm, when comparing to other parts.
- Best relic to focus: Neo Z3 (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: Grip from Lith N6 (16.67% per-player for Radiant).
Refinement Tips:
- Use Radiant (100 Traces) on Neo Z3 while going for the Barrel; 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.
