All Afentis Prime Relics in Warframe and How to Get Them

Afentis Prime is Styanax Prime’s signature speargun in Warframe, and it pins enemies in place, buffs nearby allies when thrown, and deals powerful Blast damage. Digital Extremes added it to the game as part of the Jade Shadows: Constellations update alongside Styanax Prime himself. If you want it without spending real money, you need four specific relics, two of which carry Rare drops. This guide covers every relic, the fastest farm nodes for each tier, and the matchmaking strategy that cuts your grind time down significantly.

All Afentis Prime Relics in Warframe

Afentis Prime splits across four components, each tied to a different relic tier. Here is the full breakdown:

Component	Relic	Rarity
Blueprint	Axi A22	Rare
Blade	Meso A12	Rare
Barrel	Neo C8	Uncommon
Handle	Lith Q3	Common

Two Rare components make this one of the more demanding Prime weapon grinds in recent memory. The Blueprint sits inside Axi A22 and the Blade drops from Meso A12, so those two relics deserve most of your Void Traces and farm time. The Barrel and Handle will likely complete themselves while you chase the Rare pieces.

Where to Farm Afentis Prime Relics

Lith Q3 (Handle): Hepit, Void

Hepit in the Void is the fastest Lith farm in the game. It is a Capture mission that most speed-focused builds finish in under a minute, and every completed run drops a guaranteed Lith Relic. Stack up several Lith Q3 copies here before moving on to the higher-tier nodes. The turnaround is so fast that you can build a solid relic stockpile in a short session.

Meso A12 (Blade): Ukko or Olympus

Two reliable options cover this tier. The Ukko Capture node in the Void drops Meso Relics consistently and runs quickly. If you prefer Disruption content, head to Olympus on Mars instead for comparable drop rates. Both nodes work well, so pick whichever fits your loadout and preferred mission type.

Neo C8 (Barrel): Ur, Uranus

The Ur Disruption mission on Uranus runs three rotations, and it drops a guaranteed Neo Relic on both the B and C rotations. Stay through all three rotations rather than extracting early. Leaving after rotation A means leaving guaranteed drops behind. Bring a frame that handles Disruption well since Uranus enemies push back harder than a standard Void Capture.

Axi A22 (Blueprint): Apollo, Lua

Apollo on Lua runs a Disruption mission with the same three-rotation structure as Ur. You get guaranteed Axi Relics on the B and C rotations. Lua enemies deal more damage than Uranus, so bring a survivable build or a frame with solid crowd control. The Axi A22 holds the Rare Blueprint, which makes Apollo your highest-priority farm node in the entire Afentis Prime grind.

How Void Fissures Work

Void Fissures are the missions you run to crack open relics and reveal their rewards. The process works like this:

Equip the relic you want to open before entering a Void Fissure mission.
Kill Corrupted enemies during the mission to collect Reactant.
Gather 10 Reactant to crack your relic when the mission ends.
At the end screen, choose one reward from the revealed pool. With a full squad, you see up to four different rewards and can pick any of them, including rewards from teammates’ relics.

That last point is where multiplayer becomes your biggest advantage. Running solo limits you to one reward option per crack. Running with a full squad gives you four chances to see the Rare component per run.

Radshare Strategy for Rare Components

A Radshare squad is four players who each refine the same relic to Radiant before running a matching Void Fissure together. This is the most efficient way to farm Rare drops, including the Afentis Prime Blueprint and Blade.

You refine relics using Void Traces, which drop from completing Void Fissure missions. Radiant refinement costs 100 Void Traces per relic and pushes the Rare drop rate from around 2% on an unrefined relic up to roughly 10%. With four Radiant relics cracked in one squad run, you see four Rare-weighted reward options at the end screen, which dramatically improves your odds of landing what you need.

Here is how to find Radshare groups:

Open the Recruiting tab in the in-game chat and search for the relic name such as Axi A22 or Meso A12.
Post your own Radshare request and specify the relic tier, the node you plan to run, and that you want Radiant copies.
Check Warframe communities on Discord and Reddit, as players organize coordinated Radshare sessions regularly around new Prime releases.

Use Radshare for Axi A22 and Meso A12 only. Run standard unrefined relics for Neo C8 and Lith Q3 to conserve Void Traces, since the Barrel and Handle have lower rarity and drop far more easily without spending resources.

Is Prime Access Worth It?

Prime Access gives you immediate access to Afentis Prime without farming a single relic. The Styanax Weapons Prime Access pack is the cheapest entry point and grants the weapon outright. The trade-off is real money instead of time, but with two Rare components in the drop table, this weapon takes noticeably longer to farm than most Prime weapons in the game.

If you already picked up Styanax Prime through a Prime Resurgence event, the weapon grind is the remaining piece. In that case, weigh your available play time and current Void Trace stockpile before deciding whether the relic route is worth it for you.

Recommended Farming Order

Follow this sequence if you are starting from zero:

Farm Lith Q3 at Hepit (Void) and build up a stockpile of relics before cracking anything.
Farm Meso A12 at Ukko (Void) or Olympus (Mars) until you have several copies on hand.
Farm Neo C8 at Ur (Uranus) by running full Disruption rotations instead of extracting early.
Farm Axi A22 at Apollo (Lua) through full Disruption rotations, staying for B and C.
Refine Axi A22 and Meso A12 to Radiant using your accumulated Void Traces.
Join Radshare squads and run coordinated sessions for the two Rare components.

The Handle and Barrel drop frequently enough that they complete themselves in the background while you focus on the Blueprint and Blade. Play Now!
