Warframe | BARO May 19th: Is Prisma Lenz Worth It?



Today is May 19th and Baro has returned once again to the Larunda Relay on Mercury.
He has brought a lot of AoE launcher related things, among Primed Cryo Rounds and Primed Firestorm. But the newest addition is Prisma Lenz. Is it worth it?

DROPS THIS WEEK:
Prisma Lenz is the new weapon and new item from this week.
If you want to know my thoughts on it, watch the second half of the video.
It isn’t meta, but it’s fun. Huge damage boost, but doesn’t solve main issue.

Viper Wraith is ok, but magazine size is garbage, and ammo economy is garbage.
MR Fodder unless you have a riven.

Vastilok is the best armor strip tool in the game that uses melee slot, outside of Latron Incarnon, which is hard to get. Vastilok is also tradable, Latron Incarnon is not.
Also has ridiculous slash on 12x builds (5M+ unbuffed), but is rarely used for that these days.

Primed Cryo Rounds and Primed Firestorm are standard AoE launcher mods.
Grab them, they are basically mandatory for a full build.
Remember that radius is squared on AoE.
Primed Pack Leader is useless. Grab for collection, but your melee instantly heals pets to full regardless even without the Prime version. Waste of capacity.

  2. The Lenz is one of my fav weapons on fashion and design alone and is super fun to use for star chart/entry level SP. I got spare Forma so ima build the Prisma version 😀

  3. From my initial thoughts when I first saw it, it's a 50% straight up damage increase over the base lenz. The damage bonus is roughly 11%-12% and with the crit multiplier going from 2x to 2.8x roughly evens out to an overal 50% boost. This is just a really nice bonus overall. Add in the fact of faster charge time and higher reserve ammo capacity and it helps usability greatly. I highly recommend this to everyone.

  4. You didnt mention the 2 best parts of the prisma version, 8 ammo capacity and a 0.8 charge instead of 1.2, it makes so much of a difference. Also this weapon with an epitaph primer and a grouping ability is insane damage

  5. Something I was noticing earlier, and you partially refer to it; the Frost Shock is gaining the benefit from the Firestorm mods, but the primary damage explosion doesn't appear to be gaining the benefit of the mods. The AoE appears to also have Line of Sight now

  6. I disagree. The weapon has build in ammo transmutation and if you are actively playing, it has no ammo issues. With my riven I get 180% CC and 11,5% CD. This one shots acolytes surprisingly well and I really think it is a interesting weapon. Still not sure of Merciless or Frostbite hits harder

  7. interesting thing about lenz, that it's aoe damage has actually 2 parts, frozen field, with only cold damage, and explosion itself with blast damage. And if we place 60/60 toxin mod, we will have frozen field with 25% status chance and viral damage, and force proc of cold, and blast which will have toxin damage to kill corpus, and slash from hunter munitions to kill grineer. Also because of force proc cold we can use primary frostbite for additional multishot so we almost always get viral+slash on enemies, besides prisma lenz has more ammo and ammo mutation. As for me prisma lenz outclasses bramma as weapon, especially because of design. Explosion delay can be serious problem for someone, but for me it's just additional style point

  8. Good for steelpath circuit, makes it more usable. Sadly a victim of DE's overdone blanket nerfs, that being said it's still entirely viable for MR12 players, and a solid AOE choice with the proper investment or build. Expect to run into ammo issues, even if you find a good go-between damage, aoe and ammo economy. Kind of have to treat it like a weaker bramma.

  9. It's weird having Baro bring anything new that's not a cosmetic, it's even weirder for Baro to bring an AOE weapon, and weirdest of all, I'm not sure it's worth picking up and would rather have gotten a booster lol.

  10. I was praying the lenz would get a sister varient or a incarn but with this coming out its probly going to go way to the back burner now :/ i have always prayed there would be a day we could use the prisma skin onto the non prisma varient because i just love the look and if we want to for a higher riven stat.
