Build it. The Galariak Prime is the Old Peace scythe: 32 percent status feeds its own crit, ten percent per status type on the target, and Blood Rush stacks on top. It is a standalone Prime with no base version; the parts come from The Perita Rebellion or Roathe for Maphica.
Gains a flat 10 percent critical chance for every different status type on the target, so a target carrying Viral, Heat, Slash and Puncture takes the scythe from 19 to 59 percent crit before Blood Rush.
The Galariak Prime is a scythe-category melee weapon, introduced in Update 41.0, that brings a unique scaling critical chance mechanic to the battlefield. Its Orokin-era Grineer design reflects a dedication to their Golden Lords, a theme echoed in its signature trait.
This weapon’s core strength lies in its ability to significantly boost its critical chance based on the number of unique status effects applied to an enemy. This encourages a status-heavy build approach to maximize its damage potential.
With a Mastery Rank requirement of 14, the Galariak Prime is accessible to a wide range of players looking for a powerful and distinctive melee option.
How to get the Galariak Prime
- Finish The Old Peace to open the Dark Refractory in Sanctum Anatomica.
- Run The Perita Rebellion (Recall: Dactolyst, Recall: Hunhullus, Recall: Vanguard, The Guilty): the blueprint, blade and handle are Rotation A drops at about 5.7 percent each.
- Or buy the blueprint and both parts from Roathe in La Cathedrale with Maphica earned in The Descendia; that is the faster route.
- Build the parts, then the scythe: 12 hours each, or rush with platinum.
Not a relic weapon and not vaulted: it is farmed or bought in the Dark Refractory whenever you like.
