What Is The Difference/buff Between Prime And Normal Warframe?

[Kaiser_Suoh]

- Excalibur Prime - fast shield recharge

 

- Rhino Prime - is more fast than original

 

- Mag Prime - i dont know

 

- Frost Prime - is very important but i dont know (?)

 

- Ember Prime - i dont know

 

- Loki Prime - i dont know

 

I dont know if every prime have a "battle buff" or a "polarity bonus" or "an exclusive decoration".

 

Can someone complete this information? I really want know the buff on Frost Prime.

Loki prime has more energy.
Frost Prime doesn't have any stat boosts

[(PSN)Folkeye]

Frost Prime is the same. Loki has more energy, Nyx has more shields now.

they also got swag

Wow. I had no idea the differences were small to non-existent. That's great since I never liked the Prime look anyway.

they are literally a non issue, so yea the only reason to get the prime is if you want the gold trim (the reason i get them)

OP already mentioned that

[LordOfScrugging]

i think frames having additional polarities would be considered a buff

not really, as that can be done on normal frames it just saves forma

[(PSN)Zeylon]

They also get free energy from orbs in the void.  The mostly cosmetic bit is preferable really, as it doesn't invalidate time/forma-ing of frames done prior to grabbing the frames.

 

The prime weapons are more problematic - being mostly just better in every possible way.
