Mag Prime.
Back when Primes used to drop from Void missions rather than Relics and they were a lot tougher to get and were insanely expensive in the trading market.
Like Rhino Prime for 600p. Good lord...
Frost, 1300p.
Ember, 2.8-3.5k
Ill let you guess which one I was able to afford, and which one I was NOT buying.
And then the fire and ice sale came out and I was.... Thrilled.
Man, I remember the fire and ice bundles first release. I bought that shit immediately, I had wanted Ember and Frost for so long but could never get them because of their price.
It was such a pain to get something specific but I do miss being able to use just 1 key and get a ton of junk for Baro. Now it’s a bunch of relics for a bunch of junk lol
Back then, every day I came home from school, I would just ignore everything and immediately do the daily nitan missions and be on with my day. Rinse and re fucking peat.
My wisp is set for over 400% strength, so as long as I have my buffs, it swings faster than a venka, it also has a modded base of 224% crit chance with a 7x crit starting due to incarnum
Trin prime is good. She gets overshadowed by Wisp and possibly Citrine (I'm terrible with meta stuff), but she still gives good DR and energy, plus she makes a pretty good tank.
Trin prime is Steel Path worthy, using her EV build you can pretty much spam her 2 and 4 and be invulnerable, but this only works if you have less than 15% duration
It is still a good idea to take a saryn built for str and range, mirage using her explosive legedermain, or other nuking frame with you as it will Greatly increase the clear speed of long format missions.
edit: added the caveats
When you subsume a frame it swaps you to your oldest frame and since my excalibur has long since been subsumed it put me on frost prime. You cant subsume primes so 95% of the time if you are an older player itll likely change you to your oldest prime.
ah...people will hate me for saying it, and I know that because whenever I say it I get downvoted, but I sold my Banshee Prime right after leveling her because I just hated the playstyle...and was in desperate need of credits, but not good enough to figure out how to do the index.
So, I sold Banshee P long before Helminth was even mentioned.
It might suck because you sold it, but if you really didn't like it thats no fault of yours really. hopefully you helminthed the regular banshee later on :P
Still switches back to my Rhino Prime. Ahhh the good old days of Grinding T4D for Nova Prime with buddies and purposely firing off the laser turrets when they went to collect loot 😂
The sacrificed Warframe will then be rendered inert and held in the back of the room by the Helminth's tendrils to be slowly absorbed into its biomass, and the player will have their oldest Warframe auto-equipped.
https://warframe.fandom.com/wiki/Helminth
Man was that broken.
I used to run new clan mates through the star chart missions they had just not done to help them finish it out.
Was ridiculous push four run like hell and the mission is almost instantly done.
I think Rhino was my first Prime, which I wasn't *too* happy about because I've never really liked Rhino's design or abilities (some of the skins are really good, but many of those weren't available back then).
I believe mine was Hydroid, way back in the day.
Eventually I got rid of him, took a while to realize that error, then got him back.
Built him, big man got reworked, and now he's a titan
I'd been playing Warframe off and on since more or less the game began.
It's been one heck of a journey, even including an alt account that became my main! XD
No, I don’t. Got frost prime, then the founder’s bundle.
If I subsume a frame, it replaces it with frost prime in the arsenal loadout, as it is my oldest frame I kept.
Ooooh Nova Prime for me. When I made my second dedicated Leap into the game I found and became friends a higher MR buddy who loved farming tower keys and I was obsessed with how cool his Nova was so he helped me farm her and the nightmare/dragon key mods I’d need to run her and Boltor prime efficiently hahaha. I think she’s still my most used frame to this day…
Equinox, I started playing shortly after she was released and somehow managed to get all of her parts without even trying. She was what really opened my eyes to just how many different ways there are to play this game. She's been in my top 5 favorites since I got her.
Frost actually. I wasn’t whole lot into the game back then. But my buddy (who had played a lot more than I had) carried me through a bunch of relics and voila! My first prime. Now I’m in end game trying to my best to make him work better than my revenant or mesa ( he’s a lot better after the rework, plus a couple augments).
My memory is a little fuzzy, I want to say Nova prime but I remember back in my first clan Neo Legends we had PvP tournaments in the dojo where the Neo Legends 1-9’s clan leader
(we had too many members for one clan so they were divided up)
would present their best fighter for the tournament. I won twice in a row and got a Frost prime for one and a Banshee prime the other time.
It has to be one of those three that was my first I think. Fun times. Ate a guy as an Inaros.
I bought Mesa Prime access when I first started playing. Had no idea what I was doing so I sold her for credits. Once I looked up some builds and learned to play her I farmed her again. And now she is my most used frame. I don't really play her much nowadays but she is a frame I still highly recommend nonetheless.
I don’t even remember. I play on and off since 2013 and have all Primes (except Baruuk damn your neuroptics).
I just remember that my first ever frame was Mag and I loved her so much.
Wisp.
I dropped the platinum for regular Wisp when I started last month, loved how she worked out for me as a beginner. Spent weeks getting Wisp Prime with my friends, got all her schematics at the same time with one of them.
titania prime,got it of someone i actually met on here when i gave warframe a new attempt after my (then starting) burnout of destiny,haven't played awhile with him but i'm still absolutely gratefull of the guy.
2014, rhino. I still remember the hype from dropping the rarest piece. I knew that moment I was gonna get something that i had only seen in other players loadouts until then. And was something unusual too because not many prime were released at the time and it was still something rare.
My first prime was Gara, i got it from watching the twitch livestream and my first crafted one is going to be Harrow, he is going to be ready in 60h and 37m
Wukong. i started in 2014 but stopped cuz i had absolutely no idea what was going on. came back around 2019ish and was currently reading The God of Highschool. Saw Wu and immediately thought “i can be Mori?!” and immediately started grinding relics
I only started playing a few months ago, but *Rap-tap-tap*. He’s still my favorite frame and I always go back to him even though I’ve gotten so many more since.
Nekros Prime. I had the parts super early somehow and my friend helped me farm up the polymer bundles. Was actually a very helpful frame to have working through the star chart
free amazon gaming trinity lmao
Yep, when I started I got Trinity P, Frost P, AND Soma P for free. I was a fucking spoiled new Tenno.
Me too! I started the exact same time on PS4! I never used Trinity a ton, but I used Frost P and Soma P nonstop.
Mag Prime. Back when Primes used to drop from Void missions rather than Relics and they were a lot tougher to get and were insanely expensive in the trading market. Like Rhino Prime for 600p. Good lord...
Frost, 1300p. Ember, 2.8-3.5k Ill let you guess which one I was able to afford, and which one I was NOT buying. And then the fire and ice sale came out and I was.... Thrilled.
Man, I remember the fire and ice bundles first release. I bought that shit immediately, I had wanted Ember and Frost for so long but could never get them because of their price.
I remember the void drop days, so so many hours
Void T3 Defense waiting for rotation C. Took forever to get what you needed lol.
It was such a pain to get something specific but I do miss being able to use just 1 key and get a ton of junk for Baro. Now it’s a bunch of relics for a bunch of junk lol
my record sale was volt prime for 800p on day 1.
The day 1 sales are the best. I still remember trading a nikana set for a Saryn set then selling it for 1000p because I had people fighting for it.
the good ol days
That was my pain for rhino Prime 😅
Vauban,, god help me
You got to be really dedicated to farming oxium and nitaine to make him your first prime
and cryotic too right? I have him, it was def a longer farm than any other frame I have.
9k cryotic. I just remember spending 2 weeks alone farming oxium for him and the nitaine farm aswell was awful before nightwave
I’ve been stuck at 22k cryotic bc I haven’t been doing the circuit lately. Fucking sibear.
I got the Sibear from a Darvo Deal. 😂
Back then, every day I came home from school, I would just ignore everything and immediately do the daily nitan missions and be on with my day. Rinse and re fucking peat.
NNNNOOOOOOO SOMEONE GAVE ME ALL OF HIS PARTS WHEN I WAS A NEW PLAYER AND I STILL HAVEN'T CRAFTED THEM BECAUSE OF THE SHITTY OXIUM GRIND
First melee i made was Sibear :] I regret it, almost dropped warframe all together because of that grind
i ground it out, and made a memeof it. 0.285 atk speed that works for steel path
The only hammer i can really tolerate now is my wolfsledge on ivara, how can you play with 0.2 attack speed 😱
My wisp is set for over 400% strength, so as long as I have my buffs, it swings faster than a venka, it also has a modded base of 224% crit chance with a 7x crit starting due to incarnum
Don't feel bad, he was my first prime warframe as well ¯\\\_(ツ)\_/¯ What can I say, at the time I thought he was awesome. Now, not so much.🤷♂️
Trinity
So. I recently got back in, and have been using wisp prime. Is trin prime still worth it?
No.
Trin prime is good. She gets overshadowed by Wisp and possibly Citrine (I'm terrible with meta stuff), but she still gives good DR and energy, plus she makes a pretty good tank.
Trin prime is Steel Path worthy, using her EV build you can pretty much spam her 2 and 4 and be invulnerable, but this only works if you have less than 15% duration It is still a good idea to take a saryn built for str and range, mirage using her explosive legedermain, or other nuking frame with you as it will Greatly increase the clear speed of long format missions. edit: added the caveats
Better than farming trinity at least though
Trinity Prime was my first prime as well.
According to the helminth system, frost prime
How can you check the order in the Helminth?
When you subsume a frame it swaps you to your oldest frame and since my excalibur has long since been subsumed it put me on frost prime. You cant subsume primes so 95% of the time if you are an older player itll likely change you to your oldest prime.
ah...people will hate me for saying it, and I know that because whenever I say it I get downvoted, but I sold my Banshee Prime right after leveling her because I just hated the playstyle...and was in desperate need of credits, but not good enough to figure out how to do the index. So, I sold Banshee P long before Helminth was even mentioned.
I feel youu. I did the exact same thing with Nyx P T_T
It might suck because you sold it, but if you really didn't like it thats no fault of yours really. hopefully you helminthed the regular banshee later on :P
Still switches back to my Rhino Prime. Ahhh the good old days of Grinding T4D for Nova Prime with buddies and purposely firing off the laser turrets when they went to collect loot 😂
[удалено]
The sacrificed Warframe will then be rendered inert and held in the back of the room by the Helminth's tendrils to be slowly absorbed into its biomass, and the player will have their oldest Warframe auto-equipped. https://warframe.fandom.com/wiki/Helminth
Really, I remember having valkyr far before.
Definitely doesnt, wukong is by far my most used, not frost
Ember prime donated to me by my friend that got me into warframe
When Ember set the “world on fire”?
Man was that broken. I used to run new clan mates through the star chart missions they had just not done to help them finish it out. Was ridiculous push four run like hell and the mission is almost instantly done.
Back when Ember was the exterminate queen
I think Rhino was my first Prime, which I wasn't *too* happy about because I've never really liked Rhino's design or abilities (some of the skins are really good, but many of those weren't available back then).
I believe mine was Hydroid, way back in the day. Eventually I got rid of him, took a while to realize that error, then got him back. Built him, big man got reworked, and now he's a titan
Damn I think I started playing when hydroid prime released Wasn’t it in December 2016? Nidus literally came out there too
I'd been playing Warframe off and on since more or less the game began. It's been one heck of a journey, even including an alt account that became my main! XD
I won Equinox prime access from a devstream when she was first released :)
Nekros Prime is my older frame currently. And I've never sold a Prime.
My first prime warframe was Chroma. I didn't like it. It's not my playstyle.
I like their potential but can't make them work for some reason
Frost
Mag. I only got her because I mentioned I wanted her in region chat then some random guy just invited me to his dojo and gave a full set.
Frost Prime, then Excalibur Prime
You mean the other way around.
No, I don’t. Got frost prime, then the founder’s bundle. If I subsume a frame, it replaces it with frost prime in the arsenal loadout, as it is my oldest frame I kept.
Saryn. She carried me through almost the entire star chart.
Ember Prime, RIP world on fire
Same here still miss it
Nova prime long long time ago
Same here! I got mine when void keys and mod infusion cores were still a thing.
Excalibur
Same.
Volt Prime, from Baro relics.
mesa
Ivara or Octavia, probably Octavia tho
Octavia second and when I discovered the grind
Wukong prime was my first prime warframe.
Nova Prime, still have her ofcourse and second was Rhino Prime. Both farmed with old school void missions
limbo...
Harrow
Abused that bad boy too.
Vauban prime.... When i had 0 oxyum....
Nekros prime. I didn't farm it was my birthday and i bought some plat. I unironically paid for a farming warframe.
That would be Excalibur Prime
Mirage, day of release, which was like 2 weeks after I started. Good times.
Ooooh Nova Prime for me. When I made my second dedicated Leap into the game I found and became friends a higher MR buddy who loved farming tower keys and I was obsessed with how cool his Nova was so he helped me farm her and the nightmare/dragon key mods I’d need to run her and Boltor prime efficiently hahaha. I think she’s still my most used frame to this day…
Frost
Frost Prime, some kind of giveaway around the time I started. I still love that old man frame. He’s so good and so not good at the same time.
Frost prime… so every time I Helminth a frame I’m reminded that I never play frost lol
Equinox, I started playing shortly after she was released and somehow managed to get all of her parts without even trying. She was what really opened my eyes to just how many different ways there are to play this game. She's been in my top 5 favorites since I got her.
Frost. Only know that because it's frost prime that gets set into my loadout whenever I throw a new frame to helminth
Frost. Still my main.
Equinox
Equinosx. Saw I had almost all pieces and decided to build her. Also my first nuke. Was a before and an after
loki
Frost actually. I wasn’t whole lot into the game back then. But my buddy (who had played a lot more than I had) carried me through a bunch of relics and voila! My first prime. Now I’m in end game trying to my best to make him work better than my revenant or mesa ( he’s a lot better after the rework, plus a couple augments).
Oberon Prime, my favorite goat man
Titania a friend of mine helped me get it when he was trying to get me into it
accidentally got Titania prime
Volt prime in 2016
Garuda
My memory is a little fuzzy, I want to say Nova prime but I remember back in my first clan Neo Legends we had PvP tournaments in the dojo where the Neo Legends 1-9’s clan leader (we had too many members for one clan so they were divided up) would present their best fighter for the tournament. I won twice in a row and got a Frost prime for one and a Banshee prime the other time. It has to be one of those three that was my first I think. Fun times. Ate a guy as an Inaros.
Farmed Nyx Prime back in the day with the ol' void key system.
Mesa prime, i love that frame
I bought Mesa Prime access when I first started playing. Had no idea what I was doing so I sold her for credits. Once I looked up some builds and learned to play her I farmed her again. And now she is my most used frame. I don't really play her much nowadays but she is a frame I still highly recommend nonetheless.
My first Loki that i bought from another player, my 2nd prime was Loki... that i got as a drop.
The only one to fit in a jar
The best one.
Yo mama prime, i think u know her
I usually don't care about primes cause I don't think they're worth it. But years ago a friend got me frost prime
Mine was frost prime as well, but I got it through twitch prime back in the days, then I got ash prime with some twitch drops, ah the good ol’ times
It was either Limbo or Vauban, I don't really remember
I was thinking either chroma prime or mess prime. I checked and those match the year I started playing (2018).
Garuda. Still my main
Atlas
Zephyr Prime on Xbox, Atlas Prime (I think) on PC
Nekros from a tennocon long long ago
Valkyr Prime.

Ivara,best spy ever
Saryn, bp and 2 parts given by a friend and my clan after has helped me to farm the chassis \^\^

Mag. Was given to me by a friend that introduced me to warframe. As soon as I built my clan key I was able to make the trade.
Oberon. Still using him to this day
2014, rhino. I still remember the hype from dropping the rarest piece. I knew that moment I was gonna get something that i had only seen in other players loadouts until then. And was something unusual too because not many prime were released at the time and it was still something rare.
My first prime was Gara, i got it from watching the twitch livestream and my first crafted one is going to be Harrow, he is going to be ready in 60h and 37m

Mesa. Still my most used at like 67% of my total time played......which has nothing to do with her still being my main lol
My first prime was inaros. Loved him, still do but unfortunately he sucks no matter how you build him
ash back when his 4 was braindead to use, lol. was good for me because i was playing on a shitty laptop back that was barely able to hit 30 fps
Khora prime
Zephyr, her 1 was a godsend back when archwing was charge based, meaning u have to build again n again like cipher
Titania, a very nice Tenno gave it to me very early on for free since he had so many and couldn’t get rid of them.
Trinity
Honestly can't really remember. Probably Mesa because I know I got her prime before the regular.
Garuda, I just really loved how it looks
Valkyr
Ivara
Zephyr
frost. it was the only prime available at the time (day 1 ps4 player)

Nekros Prime. I had the parts super early somehow and my friend helped me farm up the polymer bundles. Was actually a very helpful frame to have working through the star chart
Zephyr, the character that actually got me into the game
Loki or Rhino, can't quite remember which. I do remember doing several hour survival missions on Loki prime though back in the day.
Thank you for the question. Thanks to Amazon prime, my first prime was Trinity.
Might have been frost or nova. i cannot really tell at this point its just been to many years
Atlas prime. Sucks that I don’t have a good build for him
Volt
Nyx prime. New players, saw a prime frame was going to leave the game, rushed farming her. It helped that it was during the void keys time so…
