Valkyr/Prime

CODEX
A proud fighter emerges unscarred by time or malice.

> Our long deathless winter has left us numb. Our wasted animal within, ugly and gaunt, hibernates beneath our shimmering beauty. Why do these Warframes stir us so? They burn with our lost desires, lost instincts. Tenno tamed, but only just. Cast and hunted as game. Trapped and tortured, yet they remain... animals.

> Less than their human seed, gnawing their limbs from the snare, devouring a banquet of suffering, obese with heat and acid... and rage.

**Release date:** November 22nd, 2016

**Valkyr Prime** is the Primed variant of **Valkyr**, possessing higher armor and energy capacity, as well as an additional ไฟล์:Madurai Pol.svg polarity. Valkyr Prime was released alongside Cernos Prime and Venka Prime.

### Vaultings

* On September 11th, 2018, it was announced that Valkyr Prime, alongside Cernos Prime and Venka Prime, would enter the Prime Vault and be retired from the reward tables on September 25th, 2018. Any preexisting components or fully-built frames will remain as is.
* Valkyr Prime, alongside Cernos Prime, Venka Prime, Saryn/Prime, Spira Prime, and Nikana Prime, were again available from September 3rd, 2019 to November 19th, 2019.
* Valkyr Prime's relics were permanently unvaulted as of Update 29.10 (2021-03-19), being only obtainable through Abandoned Derelict Caches in Corpus Railjack missions.

## Notes

* Valkyr Prime, compared to Valkyr:
	+ Higher Armor (700 vs. 600)
	+ Higher Energy (150/225 vs. 100/150)
	+ Different Polarities (ไฟล์:Madurai Pol.svgไฟล์:Madurai Pol.svgไฟล์:Madurai Pol.svg vs. ไฟล์:Madurai Pol.svgไฟล์:Madurai Pol.svg)
* As a Prime Warframe, Valkyr Prime possesses a special passive ability where contact with an Orokin Void Death Orb will make them release an energy pulse that grants **250** Energy to all nearby allies. This effect can only occur once per Death Orb, and can occur even if the Death Orb has been previously destroyed.
* Valkyr Prime sports the highest base armor of all Warframes.
* Valkyr Prime's Rip Line shoots out multiple lines when targeting enemies. This effect is purely cosmetic, and does not impact the damage of the ability.
* Valkyr Prime's Hysteria emits an additional rolling energy circle on her gauntlets.

## Trivia

* Building Valkyr Prime will also grant players a **Chordalla Prime** auxiliary attachment specifically for her. This makes Valkyr Prime the first Warframe to feature an auxiliary Prime cosmetic item free of charge upon construction.
* The design for Valkyr Prime, along with the Cernos Prime and Venka Prime, was unintentionally leaked in Update 19.0 (2016-11-11), visible as a preview from chat item linking.
* Valkyr Prime initially did not have a fully narrated and animated introduction video on release, unlike the three previous Primes before her (Saryn, Vauban, Nekros). A full introduction video with narration was only released for Valkyr Prime after the release of Banshee Prime.
	+ Valkyr Prime's introduction video is the only one that does not mention Valkyr by name.
* When seen from above, the metal crown and horns on Valkyr Prime's head resembles the outline of an orokin void key.
* Valkyr Prime, along with Nyx/Prime, are the first Prime warframes to be permanently unvaulted and become available with no time limit to acquire.
