Are the new primes worth?

[DarkAspec]

Throughout the forums, all I've seen is how bad the Cernos Prime. I've also seen a post about how Valkyr's priming wasn't that good either. Should I even try building the new stuff or just sell it for a profit?

[CaptainPepeg]

Valkyr prime is good. Problem is it doesn't fit the valkyr's lore. Cernos prime is completely diffirent bow style and you might not like it if you like rakta version. Venka prime is pretty solid. Buy or craft them if you like.

Its up to you. Some people will sell the new stuff for the first month to make the most profit from it and then get it for themselves. If you're not a Valkyr fan then I'd suggest that. I'm not a fan of her either but I am a fan of Mastery Rank and being caught up when new stuff comes out so I can go back to being on break from Warframe to finish up my other games I'm playing. If you're only mainly playing Warframe though then take your time and go after the Plat and then maybe use that plat to buy what you really want.

Cernos prime its actually pretty good and Valkyr prime rants are mostly about her visual, why is looking like regular Valkyr and not Gersemi skin

[Weidro]

the venka prime is fun but i wouldn't say its usefull

but to answer the question you really want to ask but didn't wrote down:
yes all the new primes give mastery points
3k each weapon and 6k for the frame

for the profit thing id say sell it all right now and farm it again or buy it in 2 or 3 month if you are not in a hurry
the price will eventually go down

The mastery is always worth it even if the Prime gear are not good enough.

 

Also, if you ask me, Valkyr Prime seems amazing especially its increased energy pool.

 

I actually never played as Valkyr very much but I am willing to try her since her Prime version is out. :)

Valkyr Prime with another helmet skin, because...

@DarkAspec

I took some screenshots for you about the aesthetics. I use the Tennogen Cheetah Helmet and the "Lunaro" shoulder armor.

Definitely worth it in my opinion!

Is it power creep good? Or does the innate multishot gimmick have enough of a downside to relegate it to pretty good?

It's balanced. You can't do sh1t at long range with it, even mid-range is not that spectacular. However, it really shines at close range [<15m].

Was the first thing I bought too when my Valkyr was ready  Some of the Tennogen stuff just looks incredibly good.

Sell it for profit now, buy it cheap later if you're after affinity for Mastery Rank. Valkyr is the best part of the pack and rather easy to get. Cernos is not too hard to get too, but disappoints. Venka is nothing special but the hardest to collect as you kinda need 4x rare parts.

valkyr is worth who is fun of that frame... big energy boost+ 100 more rmor...wen maxed is big deal...venka prime is also nice.. cernos prime is pretty bad..

This, and a few other, er... design features:

Valkyr Prime is nothing special but that's the fault of the frame. Cernos doesn't know what it wants to be.

Venka on the other hand is the #1 Dual sword "type" weapon and by far the most powerful item of the three. It beats Prisma Cleavers, Broken War, Atterax, Dual Ichor.... The only weapon that really competes with Venka Prime is Galantine Prime.

EDIT: Oh and Zenistar but that's using stealth multiplier double dips.

You forgot about the Atterrax, Nikana prime, Dark Split Sword (dual sword version), and a few others.  It is the most powerful of all the Claw/fist type weapons.

I mentioned Atterax but I avoided Nikana Prime cuz some fanboy will come in a talk about counter attack finishers and I'd just rather avoid that.

Prisma Cleavers / Dual Ichor are already better than Split Swords so that's a given. Split Swords have a mean slide but that's about it.
