Notes

• With maxed rank dual-stat event mods  Virulent Scourge,  Voltaic Strike,  Volcanic Edge, and  Vicious Frost the Bo Prime can achieve a status chance of 85%. Adding  Melee Prowess increases this to 88.75%.
  • Combining the above with  Enduring Strike will result in an 103.75% status chance during channeling.
• Its generous status chance makes it useful for slowing down enemies with  North Wind.
• Due to its lack of damage, mods such as  Jagged Edge and  Buzz Kill have no effect on it.

Tips

• Due to its high status chance, the Bo Prime is a viable candidate for Elemental damage.
• With proper mods installed, coupled with its large range and moderate attack speed, the Bo Prime can be an effective tool for dealing with large crowds.

Trivia

• This is the first staff to have a primed variant.
• The Bo Prime was first seen as an accidentally leaked Codex entry in Update 13.0 (2014-04-09), along with the Serro and the Venka, before any of the weapons were released.
• Bo Prime's ornaments protract when in use.
• The Bo Prime briefly appeared on the Market for 65 Platinum 65 following Update 17.1 (2015-08-12). This error was quickly corrected with Hotfix 17.1.1 (2015-08-12).
