The best Trumna Prime build in Warframe – Destructoid
Xaku Prime is the latest Prime Warframe to come to the game, but alongside Xaku, we also got Trumna Prime and Quassus Prime. The Trumna is a particularly powerful weapon, capable of clearing entire rooms of enemies with the press of a single button. If you build it right, that is.
You’ll need to get your Xaku relics, your Quassus relics, and your Trumna relics sorted out before you can start playing around with these new additions, but if you’re ready for some explosively serious DPS, keep reading for our take on a low-cost Trumna Prime build.
How to build Trumna Prime in Warframe
Trumna Prime comes with solid critical chance and critical damage stats as well as an excellent status chance, so we’ll be building it around scaling status damage with Galvanized Aptitude and getting critical hits. A weapons platform frame like Gauss is a perfect pairing with the Trumna.
The playstyle here is simple, sure, but satisfying. Simply charge up your Trumna’s alternate fire by getting five kills, then activate your alternate fire for a room-clearing explosion courtesy of a bouncing grenade. If you’ve got a solid Riven, this weapon can get mind-bogglingly powerful.
The best Trumna Prime mods in Warframe
The name of the game with mods is mitigating the Trumna’s intense recoil with Stabilizer, boosting critical chance and damage with Vital Sense and Critical Delay, adding in viral damage, and then scaling that with Galvanized Aptitude. The last mod here is flexible, so feel free to add in a Riven.
Arcane: Primary Merciless
Exilus: Stabilizer
Mods:
- Primed Cryo Rounds (Can swap with Rime Rounds)
- Malignant Force
- Galvanized Aptitude
- Galvanized Chamber
- Critical Delay
- Vital Sense
- Vile Acceleration
- Radiated Reload (Can swap with Hammer Shot, Primed Firestorm, or a Riven)
On its own, the Trumna deals heat and impact damage, while we’re modding for viral and radiation damage. Together, this gives you quite a few elements to scale Galvanized Aptitude’s damage off. If you’d prefer a higher status chance over extra viral damage, Rime Rounds works fine, too.
The flex mod slot here is Radiated Reload. The Trumna’s reload speed is rather slow, so this mod is nice to have, but Hammer Shot is a reliable pick, increasing status chance and critical damage. With Hammer Shot, you won’t need to swap Primed Cryo Rounds for Rime Rounds, either.
Primed Firestorm is another option, but keep in mind that it’ll only work with the Trumna’s alternate fire. And the alternate fire grenade bounces around, already dealing damage in a fairly large range. Ideally, if you’ve got the currency for it, a good Riven is perfect for this particular build.
