Loki is pure invisibility and swapping places. Radial Disarm takes the guns off everyone in range and turns a firefight into a brawl. Old school, still taken into the nastiest spy runs.
Can you buy Loki for platinum
Short answer: yes, Loki costs 175 platinum in the Market and arrives fully built with a free slot.
- Price. 175 platinum for a built Loki 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 Loki Prime set on warframe.market goes for around 78 platinum as of 29 August 2026, which is 2.2 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 Loki Prime
Yes, Loki Prime exists, but it is vaulted: its relics left the drop tables on 17.05.2016. That leaves three ways in: trade the parts from other players, catch it in Prime Resurgence when Varzia offers it for Regal Aya, or wait for an unvaulting.
The Prime recipe is its own thing and noticeably heavier: it eats 1 000 Salvage instead of 500. 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 S2 Relic, Meso F3 Relic, Neo V8 Relic | 15 | Loki Prime Neuroptics x1, Loki Prime Chassis x1, Loki Prime Systems x1, Orokin Cell x1 |
| Chassis | Lith G2 Relic, Lith O2 Relic | 45 | Gallium x3, Nano Spores x1 000, Rubedo x400 |
| Neuroptics | Meso O3 Relic, Neo E1 Relic | 15 | Alloy Plate x150, Neural Sensors x2, Salvage x1 000, Rubedo x750 |
| Systems | Axi L1 Relic, Axi L4 Relic | 100 | Control Module x3, Orokin Cell x1, Ferrite x1 000, Circuits x500 |
Where the blueprints come from
The main blueprint is in the Market. Components drop from the Hyena Pack on Psamathe, Neptune: four robots with different habits, fought all at once. The Circuit after The Duviri Paradox collects them at tiers 2, 5, 8 and 10.
What it is built from
The build runs in four passes: three components at twelve hours each, then the frame itself. 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 | Morphics x1, Ferrite x1 000, Rubedo x300 |
| Neuroptics | 15 000 | 12 h | Alloy Plate x150, Neural Sensors x1, Polymer Bundle x150, Rubedo x500 |
| Systems | 15 000 | 12 h | Control Module x1, Morphics x1, Salvage x500, Plastids x220 |
| Loki | 25 000 | 72 h | Loki Chassis x1, Loki Neuroptics x1, Loki Systems x1, Orokin Cell x1 |
Where to farm the resources
Loki has no real resource bottleneck: everything on the list piles up while you play. The only item worth a deliberate trip is Morphics, and you need 2. Mercury and Earth. Apollodorus on Mercury is a short survival that keeps handing them out.
| Resource | Where it drops |
|---|---|
| Orokin Cell | Ceres, Saturn, and Deimos |
| Morphics | Mercury, Mars, Phobos, Europa, and Pluto |
| Ferrite | Mercury, Earth, Lua, Neptune, and the Void |
| Rubedo | Earth, Lua, Phobos, Europa, Pluto, Sedna, and the Void |
| Alloy Plate | Venus, Phobos, Ceres, Jupiter, Pluto, and Sedna |
| Neural Sensors | Jupiter |
| Polymer Bundle | Mercury, Venus, and Uranus |
| Control Module | Europa, Neptune, and the Void |
| Salvage | Mars, Jupiter, and Sedna |
| Plastids | Phobos, Saturn, Uranus, Pluto, and Eris |
Is Loki worth building
Loki is invisibility in its purest form: Switch Teleport and Radial Disarm turn whole rooms into a melee-only fight.
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 78 platinum.
Paper thin and completely safe at the same time. Veterans still bring him to Spy and to rescue runs.
Every other frame is broken down the same way, the full list lives in the guide to all Warframes.
