Kunai Prime Or Spira Prime?

According to Rebecca, it's Kunai Prime.

 

Rebecca also thought that the frame that we were seeing in those Changyou pics was Excalibur Umbra. Turns out it was Excalibur Umbra Prime, so Rebecca was wrong about that. Chances are, she was wrong about the name of the throwing weapons as well. Either way, the visual design is much more like the Spira than the Kunai. And the name in the Chinese version isn't Spira anyway. It's Spiral Kunai Sanctary, just like the Spira is called the LiDagger in the Chinese version. So, it's really a prime version of the Spira. If they call it Kunai Prime, then that's what they call it, but I'm betting that they'll call it the Spira Prime.

I'd think kunai since spira JUST came out to us. it wouldn't really make sense to have a prime version of something we just got

 

It's not a Prime version of what we just got. It's a Prime version of what the Chinese have had for a while.

 

Not only that, but Excalibur Prime, Skana Prime, and Lato Prime were released while Excalibur, Skana, and Lato were still relatively new...

The stats are much more in favour of it being Kunai Prime. It has a low crit rating, and is objectively inferior to Spira.

 

Also, Umbra Exalibur Prime is a somewhat recent concept, and the distinction between the two frames is *still* unclear. It might be a bit of an overstatement to say she was incorrect.

It's still Spira. Regular Spira may have been buffed when it entered our game, or it may be a new item created after the Spira Prime, without the Prime's stats being adjusted to match.

isn't the dragon nikana somewhat new? and we are getting a nikana prime already. melee weapons that haven't been primed: kogake, dual zorens, galatine, gram?, dual kama, etc.

Well for the shake of argument, if both of those weapons aren't farmable and are paid exclusive like lato and skana prime , would that justify spria and nikana prime being release quickly than normal?

the shake of argument sounds delicious. and it's most likely not going to be paid only. the only thing i can see being paid only is umbra through a kind of darvo deal-esque way

That frame was always called Excalibur Umbra Prime in the ChangYou version (literally "Shadow Sanctuary Sword" in Chinese). That was never unclear. So yes, she was wrong about those pictures being of Excalibur Umbra. The only thing that is unclear is what differences, if any, will be present in the regular Excalibur Umbra. But it was never unclear that those pictures we saw on the ChangYou website were of Excalibur Umbra Prime and not Excalibur Umbra.
