How Would You Like Valkyr Prime? Patched Up Regular Or Gilded Gersemi?

[Othergrunty]

Valkyr.

A Warframe, a backstory, a lot of debate and speculation.

Ever since Valkyr's concept art was shown back in 2013, there had been several interpretations and theories about her original form and powers. This also raised the question if a Prime variant of her could even be possible, since her original form could have different powers.

With the release of the Gersemi skin this year, a lot of this speculation has been answered.

We now can see what she looked like and it pretty much says that her powers had been the same as they are now.

This also means that there is nothing standing in the way of a Prime variant, which would have the same powers.

However there is still the question what the Prime variant should look like?

Now the obvious answer would be for her to look like a "bling bling" version of the Gersemi skin. Since the entire selling point is that it's what Valkyr original looked like.

However this would create 2 problems.

1. It would devalue the Gersemi skin as unique appearance (premium skin) for Valkyr.

2. It would waste the unique appearance of the regular Valkyr.

Why buy the Gersemi skin when Valkyr Prime allready looks like that?

Now this however depends on the idea that Prime Warframes are the "original" or "super prototype" versions of Warframes.

A common interpretation i can't however find any clear evidence for!

In the various descriptions, lore bits and other hints, i can't remember ever reading that Prime Warframe are supposed to be the very first versions or even that they were all made during the Orokin age.

We only have such informations about Prime weapons ala the Burston Prime.

With that in mind, there is actualy still the possebility that a Valkyr Prime could not actualy be a gilded version of the Gersemi skin, but a version of the present day Valkyr patched up with recovered Orokin tech.

So what would you prefer?

It's more than likely going to be a different version of the gersemi skin, considering that is the 'pre corpus' skin.

Gersemi is so ugly. I would want a whole new model. And you should be able to use gersemi if you have it.

As long as there's no tail or cat ears.

[vrdwrst]

Golden tail physics.

/(0-0)/

[(XBOX)EternalDrk Mako]

a variant of 

GERSEMI 

 

as that is the "original" form...

[Hecro]

As long as there's no tail or cat ears.

Exactly. I hate cats. Animals as well.

[Kinetos]

Something completely different like Trinity. More than just gold bits on top of the original and a different helmet like Volt or Ash

[Kuestenjung]

Hopefully Valkyr P will base upon the regular Valkyr. Although the Germesi skin is advertised as pre corpus appearance it doesn´t feel so.

[Deshiel]

Well Valkyr is a mysterious one because every other frame recieves a prime version of thier base skin but garsemi was introduced as the true form.

[-Eru-Iluvatar]

I think it'd be better if Valkyr Prime has her own unique Prime body rather than one that (too closely) resembles Gersemi. Though I don't see a problem if the Prime body would hint to several traits of the Gersemi skin; like those energy wings (I think they're something resembling wings) on her back.

 

Just no cat tail, please.

I'm a bit confused about valkyr after the Second Dream, honestly, so I don't really know how things truly are in the lore.

Though, the Prime variant is supposed to be the true original warframe from which the standard frames were copied; now, if the skin is her real aspect(post Orokin) I suppose the Prime should be close to that rather than the post experiments version.

I like the tail.  But I do think it should have been made an Auxiliary attachment since that slot is going to waste as the Bonds don't really work with Gersemi.  Then it could be removed if people don't want it.

[Syln]

Golden kitty with armored ears and tail !

[Lindsrhyl]

Actually rhe "regular" form is the gersemi one with some external parts taken off, give it a look and you'll see: the shapes etc match.

Also, this NEEDS a tail and cat's ears. It just needs em. And no hooks on the tail, it ain't a fishing tool. Maybe spikes, or even short razor blades, bonus point if they're imbued with energy during channel/hysteria.

And maybe get rid of the blades ok her elbows, they look so wrong, esp with the bonds accessory.

You could consider her Gersemi skin to be a Reproduction of her Prime variant just like every other Regular Warframe.

 

The Gersemi is what valkry's Mass production variant is. the Prime would be the Orokin variant Prototype of gersemi.

 

Basically Valkyr Prime would have the most drastic change out of all the Warframes, This isnt a hard issue.

 

The real issue would be Valkyr Umbra.

Yup, that's what I thought too, my confusion is more about the standard Valkyr after the Second Dream reveal...

Well, Valkyr is a bit of a anomaly for Warframe, since she has two forms.

 

However, since Valkyr Prime will be from the Orokin Era, she'll have to be based on the Gersemi skin. If she follows the path blazed by other female prime warframes, she will be somewhat different than the garden variety Gersemi. What we'll probably see is a very elaborate, baroque Valkyr. Think Trinity Prime. Like Nyx, Nova, and Trin, her prime helmet will have design elements from all the previous helmets, except for the Kara (nothing to do with the Orokin). So, elements from the stock, Bastet, and Gersemi should all be present to greater or lesser degree.

 

I'm thinking we'll really have something special with this one. Oh, and there'll be gold claws. Lots of gold claws. Bit, long, sharp, golden claws. Claws. Sharp. Pointy. Golden. Claws. And a golden ripline. And a transparent Liset. You know you want this.

You and your gifs

it coveys my emotion best xD

A completely new model (so those that bought the skin won't feel cheated) but one that contains elements of the default value (kinda like a premonition of what would happen to valkyr)

[WERElektro]

If I understood the lore correctly, then the "gilded gersemi" is the only option.

 

Which I find sad, cuz personally I think gersemi valkyr is..... not as impressive as the "Normal" Valkyr ...design wise. Don't wanna say ugly.... but I don't think gersemi looks nice.

But unfortunately a primed "tortured" valkyr wouldn't make any sense.

I'd rather have them stick with the lore and make a primed gersemi.
