Best Epitaph Prime build in Warframe

The big highlight of the latest Warframe update, The Lotus Eaters, is Sevagoth Prime. He was already a great frame in his base form, but having the Prime version soars him to new heights and makes him a well-designed crowd-clearing frame thanks to some strong abilities.

Alongside his release are a few other pieces of gear getting the Prime treatment, including a powerful priming pistol. Here’s the best build for the new Epitaph Prime in Warframe.

The best mods for the Epitaph Prime in Warframe

The Epitaph Prime may seem like it’s good for DPS, but it’s better built as a primer secondary. This is a secondary weapon that’s meant to dish out status procs, before using your abilities or other weapons to deal major damage off those status procs. As such, this build may seem a little unconventional but works wonders. Here’s what we suggest you run:

• Lethal Momentum (Exilus)
• Amalagam Barrel Diffusion
• Accelerated Isotopes
• Sure Shot
• Pistol Pestilence
• Augur Seeker
• Frostbite
• Convulsion
• Heated Charge

As you can see, we have a weapon that primarily deals Viral, Radiation, and Heat damage to the enemy. This applies a confusion debuff to enemies, increases damage to pure health, and reduces armor by up to 50%. All of this together makes your main weapon essentially delete whatever it’s firing at. Along with these status effects, we’re also throwing in some Multishot and Projectile Speed so you’re covering the arena in debuffs much faster.

If you’re looking to swap out some mods here, Primed Fulmination can be a great mod for giving your shots some extra blast radius. This will apply the debuffs to more enemies, and make your job a bit easier. You could also swap out Heated Charge for Jolt if you want to have Electricity as a status effect instead of Heat.

Which Arcane is best for the Epitaph Prime?

The Arcane you choose will depend on whether you build for Heat or Electricity. For the former, you’ll want to snag yourself Cascadia Flare. This gives extra secondary weapon damage for 10 seconds on Heat procs, which can be nice when applying your debuffs. Otherwise, an Electricity build should use Conjunction Voltage as it gives reload speed and Multishot on Electricity procs.
