How to Get Sevagoth Prime Warframe

Here’s where you can find each part:

|---|---|
| Sevagoth Blueprint | Neo A13 |
| Sevagoth Chassis Blueprint | Axi S17 |
| Sevagoth Systems Blueprint | Lith C12 |

Among these, the Axi S17 Relic is the rarest, so stock up on those. If farming isn’t your thing, you can trade for the full Sevagoth Prime set on Warframe market. Prices currently hover around 140+ Platinum, but they may drop as more players farm for him.
Now that you have Sevagoth Prime, let’s get into the best build for him.
Best Sevagoth Prime Build in Warframe
Here’s a detailed look at the best mods to use for your Sevagoth Prime build:
| Mod Name | Effect | Alternative |
|---|---|---|
| Brief Respite (Aura) | Squad converts 150% of Energy spent to Shields while Overshields are inactive | Growing Power if you use Rolling Guard or Adaptation |
| Primed Sure Footed | +100% Chance to Resist Knockdown | Cunning Drift |
| Primed Continuity | +55% Ability Duration | Regular Continuity (weaker) |
| Primed Flow | +185% Energy Max | Regular Flow (weaker) |
| Catalyzing Shields | x0.20 Max Shield Capacity; 1.33s Full Shield Gate immunity duration | Rolling Guard or Adaptation |
| Shadow Haze | Reap Augment: Increase Critical Chance by 50% on enemies with Death Harvest | None, you need this to sustain DPS |
| Dark Propagation | Sow Augment: Enemies killed with Sow spread its effect in a 15m radius | None, you need this to sustain DPS |
| Transient Fortitude | +55% Ability Strength; -27.5% Ability Duration | Blind Rage if you can manage higher Energy drain |
| Stretch | +45% Ability Range | None |
| Equilibrium | Health pickups give +110% Energy, Energy pickups give +110% Health | Streamline if using Blind Rage instead of Transient Fortitude |
This setup usually requires around 2-4 Formas, but Sevagoth Prime’s polarized slots help reduce the need for more. You might also consider using Streamline instead of Equilibrium, especially if you don’t use Blind Rage, but be aware that Equilibrium can be costly.
To make up for any shortcomings, use Amber Archon Shards to balance things out, as Sevagoth Prime can be quite energy-hungry.
Arcanes for the Best Sevagoth Prime Build
To make this Sevagoth Prime build even more effective, you’ll want to add the right Arcanes. Here are the recommended ones:
- Molt Augmented: This boosts Ability Strength and is essential for this build.
- Arcane Reaper: This is flexible; you can switch it out with Arcane Guardian, Energize, or Strike depending on your needs.
Archon Shards for Sevagoth Prime
For this build, the recommended Archon Shards are:
- 2x Amber Archon Shards: Boost Casting Speed and Energy Orb Efficiency.
- 2x/3x Crimson Archon Shards: Increase Ability Strength.
- 1x/2x Azure Archon Shards: Boost Energy Max.
If you use Primed Flow instead of Equilibrium, you might skip the Azure Shards and focus on Ability Strength to ensure your Gloom has a stronger Slow effect, boosting both your survivability and damage.
