Warframe Sevagoth Prime build guide: Easy 1-Forma mod setup and explanation

Building a Sevagoth is arguably the most resource-intensive task in Warframe. Sevagoth Prime skips the borderline absurd grind involved in farming the original frame but retains its resource-hungriness. This frame is infamously forma-hungry, and you have to set up not one but three separate elements of his kit: Sevagoth Prime himself, his Shadow, and his Claws.

However, once all is said and done, Sevagoth Prime reveals what a criminally underrated frame the original has been all this time. In this build guide, we will go over all the abilities of this void-bound helmsman, and how to best leverage it with good modding practices.

A simplified guide on the abilities of Sevagoth Prime and his Shadow in Warframe

Prime Warframes are the same as the regulars in terms of abilities. Although Sevagoth Prime's skillset might seem convoluted at first glance, the rotation is actually quite simple.

The main combo you need to know is - second ability (Sow) > first ability (Reap). If you have your Sevagoth Prime build properly set up, all affected enemies die from this combo alone: it's that simple. Still, it doesn't hurt to know about his other abilities, so here they are:

• Reap (First Ability): Cast a menacing projectile ahead of you, damaging all enemies in its path (250 Radiation) and afflicting them with 50% Damage Vulnerability. Hold down the button to make the projectile go faster.
• Sow (Second Ability): Mark enemies with a debuff and a 250 True Damage DoT. Casting Reap on these enemies will deal 25% of their Health as True Damage.
• Gloom (Third Ability): Slow all enemies in a wide area, and leech health as a percentage of all damage dealt.
• Exalted Shadow (Fourth Ability): Death Well is an exclusive gauge you can find on top of your ammo count to the right. This fills up when you score kills or your abilities connect successfully with enemies. When Death Well reaches 75%, you can cast Exalted Shadow to summon Sevagoth Prime's Shadow.

Sevagoth Prime's Shadow is a separately modded entity that can only use the Shadow Claws. It comes with the following abilities:

• Embrace (First Ability): Pull enemies into a clump ahead of you.
• Consume (Second Ability): Dash through all enemies, dealing Radiation damage and healing yourself for 25% of all damage dealt.
• Death's Harvest (Third Ability): Cast a 50% Damage Vulnerability Debuff to all enemies around you.
• Reunite (Fourth Ability): Despawn Shadow, returning to Sevagoth.

There are more nuances to Sevagoth, but this summarizes all the key points. Read along for a recommended build and loadout that synergizes with this.

1-Forma Sevagoth Prime build for Sow-Reap combo on Warframe (Steel Path viable)

With our Sevagoth Prime build, the goal is to simply leverage the Sow-Reap combo as far into Steel Path as possible. For this, we will replace Exalted Shadow with Roar as a Helminth ability. Additionally, you can pair it up with an all-purpose Nautilus Prime build that groups up and primes enemies with Viral for more damage.

For the basic Steel Path run, survival is not a problem if you have a Dante Specter at hand. However, if you want to reach the level cap, the two-second Shield gate will not be enough to sustain you. This is where our Sevagoth Prime build really struggles, and you may need to make use of Catalyzing Shields and Rolling Guard to abuse the old-school shield-gate refresh tech.
