Notes

  • Nova Prime, compared to NovaIcon272 Nova:
    • Higher Shields (100/300 vs. 75/225)
    • Higher Energy (175/262 vs. 150/225)
    • Different Polarities (Script error: The function "Pol" does not exist.Script error: The function "Pol" does not exist.Script error: The function "Pol" does not exist. vs. Script error: The function "Pol" does not exist.Script error: The function "Pol" does not exist.)
  • As a Prime Warframe, Nova 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.
  • Nova Prime, along with Banshee PrimeIcon272 Banshee Prime, Loki PrimeIcon272 Loki Prime, Mag PrimeIcon272 Mag PrimeOberon PrimeIcon272 Oberon Prime and IvaraIcon272 Ivara, has the second highest amount of energy of any Warframe (175 base, with 262.5 at max rank) with Volt PrimeIcon272 Volt PrimeSaryn PrimeIcon272 Saryn Prime, Chroma PrimeIcon272 Chroma Prime and BaruukIcon272 Baruuk having the highest (200 base, with 300 at max rank).

Trivia

  • Nova Prime is the second prime Warframe after Nyx Prime to have two enhanced stats, in this case, increased Shields and Energy over her normal version.
    • She is also the second prime Warframe with a boost to shields, the first being Frost PrimeIcon272 Frost Prime.
  • Nova Prime marks the first time that an Open Beta Warframe – NovaIcon272 Nova – has received a prime variant. The previous seven prime Warframes (ExcaliburIcon272 Excalibur, FrostIcon272 Frost, MagIcon272 Mag, EmberIcon272 Ember, RhinoIcon272 Rhino, LokiIcon272 Loki, NyxIcon272 Nyx) are based on designs from the Closed Beta period.
  • Unlike previous prime Warframes, Nova Prime's gold parts can be recolored, which was made possible with the new Physical Based Rendering (PBR) techniques utilized in updates of the graphics engine first introduced at the time of her release. The SomaPrime Soma Prime, VastoPrime Vasto Prime and the Pyra Syandana Prime that came with Update 15.7 (2014-12-17) share the same feature.
  • Nova Prime's NullStar130xWhite Null Star and AntimatterDrop130xWhite Antimatter Drop both feature opaque gold spheres instead of the translucent spheres of the regular version.
  • Nova Prime's long ring neck design resembles the neck rings from the Kayan Tribe in Burma.
  • Nova Prime is the second prime Warframe to have a non-static model, the first being Rhino Prime, as her helmet and back have casings that open with advanced movement, channeling, and activation of abilities, causing her energy coils to glow more intensely.

Bugs

  • Her moving parts will often become reversed, staying open even when the player is standing still with no powers currently active, and zooming in with a weapon will close them, with them re-opening when exiting zoom. The only way to fix this issue (although it will continue to happen) is to use a power.

Vaultings

  • On November 15, 2016, it was announced that Nova Prime would enter the Prime Vault and be retired from the reward tables on November 22, 2016. Any preexisting components or fully-built frames will remain as is.
