Understand Primed Vigor
Useful when…
- Increasing both shield capacity and health with one standard Warframe mod.
- Matching a Vazarin-polarity Warframe slot.
What it provides
At rank 10, Primed Vigor grants +75% Shield Capacity and +75% Health. Rank 0 grants +7% to each, and rank 5 grants +41% to each. It has Vazarin polarity, base drain 6, and is incompatible with Vigor.
Ranking and capacity
Primed Vigor has ten ranks. The rank 5-to-6 step costs 1,280 Endo and 61,824 Credits; the rank 9-to-10 step costs 20,480 Endo and 989,184 Credits. Each step is a separate rank-up cost.
How it differs from other defenses
Vigor is incompatible with Primed Vigor. At its rank-5 ceiling, Vigor grants +50% Shield Capacity and +50% Health; Primed Vigor reaches +75% to each at rank 10. Adaptation instead grants 10% resistance to the damage type that hit the user for 20 seconds per stack, up to 90%. Adept Surge is a Conclave Exilus mod that adds mobility and reduces health, so it has a different variant, slot, and effect.
Limitations and tradeoffs
- Rank 10 requires a large Endo and Credit investment.
- Uses a standard Warframe slot and has base drain 6.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Do not equip Primed Vigor together with Vigor; they are incompatible.
- Do not treat shield and health increases as a replacement for other defensive effects.
