Notes

Frost Prime, compared to Frost:
- Higher Shields (175/525 vs. 150/450)
- Different Polarities ( vs. )
As a Prime Warframe, Frost Prime possesses a special passive ability where contact with an Orokin Void Death Orb will make them release an energy pulse that grants 250 Energy to all nearby allies. This effect can only occur once per Death Orb, and can occur even if the Death Orb has been previously destroyed.

Trivia

Frost Prime, along with Hydroid Prime, can achieve the fourth highest total shield value out of all Warframes at 3,195 by combining Redirection, Primed Vigor, Augur Accord, and their maximum Overshields (+1200). Hildryn currently holds the highest possible shield value of 4,545. These numbers can potentially be higher with other buffs that increase shield capacity (such as Shield Charger and Sequence).
Frost Prime is the second Prime version of a Warframe and the first to be craftable.
- The Blueprint for Frost Prime was given out as a reward for participating in the Fusion Moa Event which lasted from May 3, 2013 to May 5, 2013.
Like all primes, it can use Frost's alternate helmets (Squall Frost Helmet & Aurora Frost Helmet).
- Additionally, Frost Prime can also use all of Frost's Warframe skins.
Frost Prime's Ice Wave has an additional visual effect, leaving behind small, golden icicles in its wake.
