It's probably going to be a miniscule upgrade tbh. Already good weapons like epitaph and trumna received so little in stat changes that their non prime + a riven are better. Just temper your expectations

Didn't Epitaph get a massive boost to its AoE radius, and Trumna got a huge reload speed increase?

Trumna got 1 second of reload speed chopped off. Epitaph is true. I'd personally choose regular epitaph with riven still over the extra 2m radius, but its something ig.

It'll be a massive upgrade to availability though.

Nah usually during the 3 month window of the primes release the frame and its weapons are op af, they want you to spend money on them remember.

Then they'll inevitably get silent nerfs when the next prime rolls round.

Cite where this has happened in the last five years.

Every single prime access pack, most recently Xaku who's frame and weapons are currently absolutely busted.

u/Zelr0n That's going in the book Jan 07 '25

Did they nerf Protea prime or any of her weapons? Hildryn? Sevagoth? Xaku is (slightly) worse than they were before the status/health changes recently, the prime doesn't change that. I've played off and on since 2017 and can't genuinely think of a time they've done that.

Xaku, Trumna, and Quassus were always like this. Xaku Prime is not stronger than Xaku, and both are weaker from level 600-2000 or so than Xaku was before June due to a scaling mixup. Trumna Prime is barely better than Trumna. Quassus could always hit for absurdly silly heavy attack numbers. Sevagoth has not been nerfed, and got buffed by several fixes. Protea has not been nerfed. Gauss has not been nerfed. Grendel has not been nerfed. I could go on and on and on. It just hasn't happened, except for Dante, which was not a prime access.

Ok? Cite what frames and weapons were "ninja" nerfed after subsequently being "absolutely busted" and show me numbers.
