Xaku Prime is the newest Prime Warframe to appear in the game, but in addition to Xaku we also have Coffin Prime and Quassus Prime. The coffin is a particularly powerful weapon, capable of clearing entire rooms of enemies with the press of a button. If you build it right, that is.
Before you start playing around with these fresh additions, you’ll need to sort out your Xaku Relics, Quassus Relics, and Coffin Relics, but if you’re ready for some explosively grave DPS, read on for our affordable version of Coffin Prime.
How to build a Prime Coffin in Warframe
Coffin Prime has solid Critical Chance and Critical Damage stats, as well as excellent Status Chance, so we’ll be building it around status damage scaling with Galvanized Aptitude and getting Critical Hits. A weapons platform frame like the Gauss is a perfect fit for the Coffin.
The gameplay style here is straightforward but rewarding. Simply charge up the Coffin’s alt fire, killing five people, then activate the alt fire to create a room-clearing explosion thanks to the bouncing grenade. If you have a solid Riven, this weapon can become incredibly powerful.
The best Coffin Prime mods in Warframe
The name of the mod game is mitigating the intense recoil of the Coffin with Stabilizer, increasing critical hit chance and damage with Vital Sense and Critical Delay, adding viral damage, and then scaling it with Galvanized Aptitude. The last mod is malleable, so you can add Riven.
Secret: Originally Merciless
Exile: Stabilizer
Fashion: :
- Armed Cryo Rounds (can be swapped for Rime Rounds)
- A malicious force
- Galvanized capacity
- Galvanized chamber
- Critical delay
- Life sense
- Nasty acceleration
- Radiant Reload (Can be swapped for Hammer Shot, Armed Firestorm or Riven)
The Coffin itself deals heat and impact damage, while we mod for viral and radiation damage. Together, this adds up to a lot of elements that allow you to scale Galvanized Aptitude’s damage. If you prefer higher status chance over extra viral damage, Rhyme Rounds will also work.
The flex mod slot is Radiated Reload. The reload speed of the Coffin is rather tardy, so it’s worth having this mod, but Hammer Shot is a reliable choice for increasing status chance and critical damage. Thanks to Hammer Shot, you won’t have to replace Primed Cryo cartridges with Rime cartridges either.
Another option is Prepared Firestorm, but keep in mind that this will only work with the Coffin fire alternative. The alternative fire grenade bounces and deals damage over a fairly long range. Ideally, if you have the currency for it, a good Riven will be perfect for this particular build.
