Here's how to get Sirius & Orion: finish the Jade Shadows: Constellations quest to get the main blueprint, then farm the three parts in two new Railjack missions on Uranus Proxima, The Kuva Wytch and Scoria's Angel. Each part drops at 14.29 percent, and collecting all three takes about 13 runs on average. After that it's 84 hours of building and 70,000 credits. The finished frame costs 370 platinum in the market, according to the wiki.

The catch with this frame isn't the parts. It's the five Nullstones the Neuroptics need, and if you have none in stock, the farm stretches into weeks. Below, in order: what you need before the quest, where the parts drop and how often, how to buy them with Talents, what everything costs and where to get Nullstones. All recipe numbers come from Digital Extremes' official Public Export and drop tables as of October 14, 2026.
Who Sirius & Orion are, and why build them
It's one frame for two brothers. They share a body, and only one of them is active at a time. Each has three abilities of his own, and the fourth is shared. The swap is the clever part: hold an ability button and the frame switches sons and immediately casts the other brother's ability in that same slot. The passive gives +45 percent ability efficiency on your next two casts after a swap, and when energy drops below 50 the brothers pull it from each other.
- Sirius: Coronal Ejection. Throws a glowing scythe for Heat damage and picks up loot on the way.
- Sirius: Jade Stars. Motes of light gather around you and launch at enemies you attack, dealing Heat damage and status.
- Sirius: Light's Sanctuary. A well of light heals and revives allies, cuts incoming damage and grows over time.
- Orion: Gravitic Slash. A scythe strike that knocks enemies back, deals Slash and strips shields and armor.
- Orion: Astral Shell. A shell that turns into a decoy when you take damage and draws fire.
- Orion: Event Horizon. A drifting black hole that pulls enemies in. Orion can bat it away, Sirius can drag it back with a throw.
- Shared: Celestial Clash. The brothers fly up and fight in the sky, and each strike spends a Constellation Star, which you build up by using abilities.
Sirius is tankier on health and shields (475 and 355 at rank 0), Orion on armor (300 against 160). Both have 200 energy. There's no mastery rank requirement, and there's no Prime, nor will there be for years: the frame launched on June 17, 2026.
The Jade Shadows: Constellations quest is where it starts
The quest arrived in Update 43 and continues Jade Shadows, so you need the first quest done. Digital Extremes says Constellations itself takes 30-40 minutes. It rewards the main Sirius & Orion blueprint and two syandanas, and finishing it opens Uranus Proxima with two new Railjack missions plus the Pontis Tower hub and its secret vendor.

Where the parts drop: two missions on Uranus Proxima
The parts are mission completion rewards, with no rotations. Each mission's table has seven entries at the same chance, so every run gives you one item out of seven:
| Item | The Kuva Wytch | Scoria's Angel |
|---|---|---|
| Sirius & Orion Blueprint | 14.29% | 14.29% |
| Chassis | 14.29% | 14.29% |
| Neuroptics | 14.29% | 14.29% |
| Systems | 14.29% | 14.29% |
| Scythe blueprint, blade and handle | Pride, 14.29% each | Wrath, 14.29% each |
The frame parts drop equally in both missions, so run whichever is faster for you. The scythes are split: Pride only drops in The Kuva Wytch, Wrath only in Scoria's Angel, and each scythe needs a blade from the other one. If you want both, you'll be running both missions.
How many runs for three parts? From those chances I get about 13 on average. You'll already have the main blueprint from the quest, so its repeat drops are wasted. You might get everything in five runs or get stuck at twenty, that's just how drop math goes.
Talents and Hunhow: buying parts without luck
If the drops won't cooperate, you can buy the parts. Hunhow sits in Pontis Tower and sells the frame blueprints for Talents: Emerald Talents come from The Kuva Wytch, Crimson from Scoria's Angel, and either one works for the blueprints. A run gives 12-16 Talents on normal and 18-22 on Steel Path, plus a few during the Railjack flight.
According to the wiki, the prices are 90 per part and 275 for the main blueprint. The wiki flags its own price list as disputed and the official material doesn't list prices, so check them in game before you plan around them. With the blueprint from the quest, three parts cost 270 Talents, roughly 17-23 normal runs or 13-15 on Steel Path. The nice thing is that Talents pile up while you farm drops, so the last missing part you simply buy.
Building: 84 hours and 70,000 credits
The recipe from the official export:
| Part | Time | Credits | Resources |
|---|---|---|---|
| Neuroptics | 12 h | 15,000 | 250 Circuits, 5 Gallium, 5 Nullstones, 75 Asterite |
| Chassis | 12 h | 15,000 | 600 Rubedo, 400 Alloy Plate, 600 Carbides, 500 Ticor Plate |
| Systems | 12 h | 15,000 | 500 Polymer Bundle, 30 Morphics, 20 Control Module, 100 Isos |
| Warframe | 72 h | 25,000 | the three parts and 3 Orokin Cells |
Queue the three parts at once and it's 84 hours from the first click to a finished frame, three and a half days. Rushing everything with platinum costs 125: 25 per part and 50 for the final build.
Carbides, Ticor Plate, Isos and Asterite are Railjack resources. Since you're flying to Uranus Proxima anyway, some of them will pile up on their own, as the drop tables list them from Railjack enemies.
Nullstones are the real bottleneck
The five Nullstones for the Neuroptics are the slowest part of the whole process. In the official tables they only appear as a bonus reward in Proxima missions, at 7.14 percent and one at a time: Earth, Saturn, Venus, Neptune, Pluto and Veil Proxima. Uranus Proxima doesn't have them at all. From rewards alone, that's around 70 runs.
In practice it goes faster: the wiki says Nullstones also come from asteroids, barrels and rifts in Empyrean, but the official tables give no chance for those, so there's no honest way to calculate it. My advice is simple: before the quest, open your inventory and check your Nullstones. If you have fewer than five, start farming Veil Proxima alongside, while the Talents build up.
Which son to make primary, and what to feed the Helminth
The video loads from YouTube (Google) when you press play. Privacy policyTwo abilities can be fed to the Helminth: Jade Stars from Sirius and Astral Shell from Orion. You can only infuse an ability onto the primary son, and in that slot the hold-to-swap stops working. So infusing something into Sirius costs you one of Orion's abilities.
Jade Stars quickly became the most popular Helminth pick, because it combined so well with damage over time like Saryn's Spores. In Update 43.5 Digital Extremes named that as the reason and added a line-of-sight check. They still work, just not through walls anymore.
What changed since launch
The video loads from YouTube (Google) when you press play. Privacy policyThe frame has been tuned noticeably in four months. The main changes from the official patch notes:
| Patch | Date | What changed |
|---|---|---|
| 43.0.2 | 18.06.2026 | closed infinite Ability Strength scaling via Diriga |
| 43.0.5 | late June or July 2026 | buff: Jade Stars Heat status 30% -> 100%, Event Horizon radius 6 m -> 8 m |
| 43.5 | 12.08.2026 | Jade Stars need line of sight; Celestial Clash: guaranteed Heat for Sirius, guaranteed Slash for Orion |
| 44.0 | 23.09.2026 | the brothers join the Duviri pool, Arcane Concentration no longer stacks forever by swapping |
If you're reading older build guides, check the date: anything written before August 12 about Jade Stars hitting through walls no longer applies.
Platinum or farm
- You have platinum and no time. 370 platinum in the market, and the frame arrives built with a slot. Mastery counts the same as for one you built.
- You have Nullstones in stock. Farm it: the quest, about 13 runs and three and a half days of building. A week is realistic.
- You have no Nullstones. Farm the parts anyway, but run Veil Proxima alongside. That's what decides whether it's a week or a month.
- You want both scythes. Run both missions, since Pride and Wrath drop separately.
