Lavos Prime
Some Warframes were Prime from the start. Others ascended. Lavos, the master of transmutation, bowed to no one as he forged his own path to valor.

(Where it sits)
Across the 117 frames in the roster, Lavos Prime sits in the top fifteen per cent for armor (5th of 117) and health (10th of 117).
It is thin on energy (117th of 117), which is what a build has to answer for.
It ships with 3 polarities already installed, plus Naramon on the aura slot, so that much of the board costs no forma.

03 Transmutation Probe 10s cooldown

Augment: Lingering Transmutation

04 Catalyze 30s cooldown
Catalyst Probes erupt from Lavos and douse combatants in a fiery gel. Damage is doubled for each element afflicting an enemy. Hold to imbue the next ability cast with Heat.
Costs are base figures, before efficiency.
