Build it if you have the parts. Seventy-five percent Slash with 25 percent status makes the Dual Kamas Prime a clean Condition Overload weapon; 20 percent crit is the ceiling. It is vaulted, so it is a trade or a Resurgence wait.
The Dual Kamas Prime are the Prime variant of the Dual Kamas, offering enhanced base damage, critical chance, critical multiplier, and status chance. This weapon was introduced alongside Trinity Prime and the Kavasa Prime Collar.
It features a primary Slash damage distribution, making it effective against unarmored targets and for proc-based damage. The weapon has a Naramon polarity for its stance slot and an innate Madurai polarity.
The Dual Kamas Prime was the first Prime dual swords to be introduced in Warframe. Its unique visual characteristic involves the blades folding into the weapon when not in use, deploying only during attacks.
How to get the Dual Kamas Prime
- The Dual Kamas Prime is vaulted: its relics no longer drop in missions. Open relics you already own, buy them for Aya when Prime Resurgence lists it, or buy the parts for platinum.
- Blueprint: Lith K4, Lith L3, Lith S6, Neo T1, Neo V1 and 3 more (vaulted relics).
- Blade: Meso D1, Meso D5, Axi D3 (vaulted relics; the rare slot in Meso D1, Meso D5).
- Handle: Meso F1, Meso N1, Neo D4, Neo N12, Axi A1 (vaulted relics).
- Run the fissure tier that matches each relic, refine the rare part’s relic to Radiant, and pick the best of the four results with a squad.
- Build the parts, then the weapon: 12 hours each, or rush with platinum.
