Styanax is the spearman: Axios Javelin pins the crowd, Final Stand fans javelins across the room, Rally Point hands the squad shields and energy. The first frame ever given away for free on an anniversary.
Can you buy Styanax for platinum
Buying is simple here, yes, Styanax costs 175 platinum in the Market and arrives fully built with a free slot.
- Price. 175 platinum for a built Styanax with a slot for it.
- Mastery. It ticks the same whether the frame was bought or built, so buying saves time, not rank.
There is a second route people forget about. A full Styanax Prime set on warframe.market goes for around 39 platinum as of 29 August 2026, which is 4.5 times cheaper than the 175 the shop wants for the regular version. The difference is what you get: 175 buys a finished frame with a slot, while a market set is blueprints that you still have to build and feed with resources. Platinum but no time, use the shop. Time but little platinum, buy the Prime set, which is the stronger frame anyway.
Is there a Styanax Prime
Yes, Styanax Prime exists and is available right now. Parts drop from Void relics the usual way: farm relics, crack them in a fissure, collect four blueprints. Trading works too, built parts sell for platinum.
The Prime recipe is its own thing and noticeably heavier: it eats 3 700 Ferrite instead of 3 000. Components cost 15,000 credits and 12 hours each, the final build costs 25,000 and sits for 72 h. The regular version takes exactly as long for its final build. Do not toss the spare parts, Baro Ki'Teer takes them for ducats, prices are in the table.
| Blueprint | Relics it drops from | Ducats | Resources per build |
|---|---|---|---|
| Main blueprint | Axi A21 Relic | 15 | Styanax Prime Neuroptics x1, Styanax Prime Chassis x1, Styanax Prime Systems x1, Orokin Cell x5 |
| Chassis | Meso Y2 Relic | 45 | Nitain Extract x2, Alloy Plate x4 700, Circuits x1 450, Morphics x8 |
| Neuroptics | Lith S18 Relic | 100 | Gallium x8, Neural Sensors x10, Oxium x255, Ferrite x3 700 |
| Systems | Neo Y1 Relic | 45 | Tellurium x3, Control Module x10, Circuits x1 450, Salvage x4 300 |
Where the blueprints come from
Blueprints come from Chipper in Kahl's Garrison for Stock, earned in the weekly Break Narmer missions that open after Veilbreaker. The ranks differ: Systems at Rank 2 Encampment, Neuroptics at Rank 3 Fort, Chassis at Rank 4 Settlement, the main blueprint at Rank 5 Home. A component costs 60 Stock, the main one 90, the whole set 270. Since the missions are weekly, Styanax stretches across several weeks.
What it is built from
It builds like every other frame: three parts, then the main blueprint over them. Components run in the Foundry at the same time, so from the first click to a finished frame it is roughly 84 h: twelve for the parts and 72 for the Warframe itself.
| Blueprint | Credits | Time | Resources per build |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chassis | 15 000 | 12 h | Entrati Lanthorn x5, Hespazym Alloy x60, Star Crimzian x20, Oxium x1 200 |
| Neuroptics | 15 000 | 12 h | Argon Crystal x2, Ferrite x3 000, Purged Dagonic x40, Norg Brain x5 |
| Systems | 15 000 | 12 h | Rubedo x1 200, Radian Sentirum x5, Thrax Plasm x400, Voidplume Quill x15 |
| Styanax | 25 000 | 72 h | Styanax Neuroptics x1, Styanax Chassis x1, Styanax Systems x1, Orokin Cell x12 |
Where to farm the resources
Look at Thrax Plasm first. The recipe asks for 400, and you will have to go and get it deliberately. Zariman missions, from Thrax units. Void Cascade gives the most of them per run. Second heaviest is Voidplume Quill at 15. Zariman, from collectible plumes scattered around the tileset. Bring a loot radar mod. Everything else accumulates while you play and needs no special trip.
| Resource | Where it drops |
|---|---|
| Orokin Cell | Ceres, Saturn, and Deimos |
| Entrati Lanthorn | Albrecht's Laboratories (Deimos) and Zariman |
| Hespazym Alloy | built from Hesperon ore, blueprint from Smokefinger for 4,000 standing at Rapscallion |
| Star Crimzian | built from the Crimzian gem, blueprint from Old Man Suumbaat for 7,500 standing |
| Oxium | Venus, Jupiter, Mars, Neptune, Pluto, Eris, Europa, and Lua |
| Argon Crystal | Missions in the Void |
| Ferrite | Mercury, Earth, Lua, Neptune, and the Void |
| Purged Dagonic | built from the Dagonic gem mined on Deimos |
| Norg Brain | Norg fish, caught at night in the big lake near Cetus, then filleted |
| Rubedo | Earth, Lua, Phobos, Europa, Pluto, Sedna, and the Void |
| Radian Sentirum | built from the Sentirum gem, blueprint from Old Man Suumbaat for 10,000 standing |
| Thrax Plasm | Zariman |
| Voidplume Quill | Zariman |
Is Styanax worth building
Styanax throws a spear and never runs out of shields: Final Stand rains javelins while Tharros Strike strips armour and refills him.
The numbers look like this: no mastery rank requirement, roughly 84 hours from the first foundry press to a finished frame, and 70 000 credits across all the builds together. A finished Prime set on the market runs about 39 platinum.
Free during his release event and strong ever after. The build cost is the highest tier in the game.
Every other frame is broken down the same way, the full list lives in the guide to all Warframes.
