Notes[]
- Valkyr Prime, compared to Valkyr:
- As with any other Prime Warframe, moving close to the location of an Orokin Void Death Orb will restore a pulse of 250 Energy to nearby allies, even if that Death Orb is inactive, destroyed, or non-present. This effect can only occur once per orb.
- Valkyr Prime has the second highest base Armor at 735, with Qorvex surpassing her at 875.
- Valkyr Prime's Rip Line shoots out multiple lines when targeting enemies. This effect is purely cosmetic, and does not impact the damage of the ability.
- Valkyr Prime's Hysteria emits an additional rolling energy circle on her gauntlets.
Trivia[]
- Building Valkyr Prime will also grant players a Chordalla Prime auxiliary attachment specifically for her. This makes Valkyr Prime the first Warframe to feature an auxiliary Prime cosmetic item free of charge upon construction.
- The design for Valkyr Prime, along with the Cernos Prime and Venka Prime, was unintentionally leaked in Update 19.0 (2016-11-11), visible as a preview from chat item linking.
- Valkyr Prime initially did not have a fully narrated and animated introduction video on release, unlike the three previous Primes before her (Saryn, Vauban, Nekros). A full introduction video with narration was only released for Valkyr Prime after the release of Banshee Prime.
- Valkyr Prime's introduction video is the only one that does not mention Valkyr by name.
- When seen from above, the metal crown and horns on Valkyr Prime's head resembles the outline of a Void Key, a suitably gilded variation of the horns on Gersemi.
- Valkyr Prime, along with Nyx Prime, are the first Prime Warframes to be permanently unvaulted and become available with no time limit to acquire.
