Astilla Prime Build 2021 (Guide) - Phoning It In (Warframe Gameplay)

After quite the long wait, one of the most anticipated Prime Warframes has been released. Gara is here! And with Gara Prime come two of her three signature weapons in prime form. Today I have the pleasure of reviewing the Astilla Prime. A brand new Mastery Rank fourteen primary shotgun.

The buffs that the Astilla prime has received are minor. A four percent increase in the critical chance and status chance and roughly a twenty percent increase in the damage. The last mechanical improvement worth mentioning is the magazine capacity that has been increased to twenty four.

These increases are not fantastic but not to be discarded either. It's safe buff that does the job without standing out from the crowd. Sadly, this also means that the performance of the Astilla Prime will be decent at best for a prime weapon.

The weapon performs well with a standard cheap build and it will also respond nicely to prime mods. The usual Hunter Munitions and Viral affair with a single option slot that does have various possibilities. Including but not limited to Vigilante Armaments, Motus Setup, A third sixty-sixty depending on taste and the situation, Blaze, Blunderbuss etc.

Riven mods are out of the question considering the starting disposition of the Astilla Prime of only one out of five.
