Time really flies. I can still remember the launch of Veilbreaker back in the day and how cool Styanax’s launch was in Warframe. His trailer is still really cool and shows how much reverence Digital Extremes has for their 50th warframe. So much so, when he was announced with getting a prime, the artwork and design of Styanax Prime exceeded my expectations. While his prime version is just “Styanax, but better”. There have been a lot of new mods and arcanes to play around with his kit from 2022. With that in mind, below will be our recommended build!
Recommended Build for Styanax Prime
Below will be our recommended build for Styanax Prime, which you will need only 1 forma for:
Yes, this is another Intrepid Stand build, sorry. But the combination of stuff like Arcane Energize works hand in hand with the power efficiency to keep your energy capped off to keep spamming his 4th ability. The mixture of range and a base 175% power strength makes the first 3 abilities (which I subsumed Roar onto the first one) useful alongside the 4th, which is helped even further with Precision Intensify. Arcane Concentration also makes up for the “on paper” power duration to make this a well-rounded build for him.
Below will be the Archon Shards I picked out for him.These are purely for flavor and can be swapped for what you feel is better:
Updated Review for Styanax Prime in Warframe
Back when he was released in 2022, Styanax was a powerhouse and needed a bit of a nerf. But the one they gave him did not ruin his kit over the years, thankfully. He is still a big staple in endgame content and is really fun to use. My only complaint after all this time is that I wish you could speed up the cast time for his 4th. I like to spam it everywhere, but I would like to still make it a little faster. But as he stands now? Styanax Prime is absolutely worth grinding (or trading) for in Warframe.
