How to get Koumei in Warframe

To get Koumei in Warframe, you must complete the new Shrine Defense mission and earn her as a mission reward or by collecting Fate Pearls. This mission is unlocked after talking to Saya about her Visions in Cetus. After the small cutscene, you can now visit Koumeiā€™s Shrine in Cetus or via the Star Chart on Earth.

Itā€™s a straightforward mission where you must offer an initial item to the Shrine. After that, you have to defend one of the two points five times to summon the Infested Oni. Defeating it will conclude the mission.

You will earn between 14 to 18 Fate Pearls on the normal difficulty and 20 to 24 on Steel Path. Additionally, all of Koumeiā€™s parts have a 4.09% chance of dropping at the end of the mission. Itā€™s low, but still possible.

If luck is not on your side, you can accumulate enough Pearls to buy Koumeiā€™s parts from the Shrine on Cetus instead. These are the amounts you need for each:

  • Koumei Blueprint – 165 Fate Pearls
  • Koumei Neuroptics Blueprint – 55 Fate Pearls
  • Koumei Systems Blueprint – 55 Fate Pearls
  • Koumei Chassis Blueprint – 55 Fate Pearls

If you want to skip all the grinding, you can buy her fully built at the market as a standalone Warframe or in a bundle for Platinum.
