Silva & Aegis Prime is Vaulted.
The Void Relics for this item have been removed from the drop tables and do not drop during missions at this time. Check the current Prime Resurgence rotation to see if Varzia offers relics for this item. Vaulted Void Relics already contained in player inventories are not affected and can still be either opened or traded between players.

A perfectly crafted pairing, this mace and shield combination is sculpted for exhibition but balanced for the battlefield.

The Silva & Aegis Prime are the Primed variants of the DmgFireSmall64 Heat-based sword and shield Silva&Aegis Silva & Aegis, with increased damage, critical chance, critical multiplier, and status chance, but with significantly slower attack speed. Just like the Silva & Aegis, it receives bonus critical and status chance when blocking enemy attacks. It was released alongside Oberon PrimeIcon272 Oberon Prime and SybarisPrime Sybaris Prime.

Notes[]

  • When adding elemental mods for combination, this weapon's DmgFireSmall64 Heat element is added last.
  • The Slam Radial Damage always deals DmgFireSmall64 Heat damage, even if the innate DmgFireSmall64 Heat has been combined into a different element.
    • Due to this, Slam Radial Damage always has a 30% chance to inflict the DmgFireSmall64 Heat status effect. This chance is unaffected by status chance mods.

Tips[]

  • Using the Silva & Aegis Prime with Mod TT 20px Final Harbinger and Mod TT 20px Weeping Wounds allows players to quickly gather hits for the Combo Counter, rapidly boosting the Silva & Aegis Prime's already high status chance.
  • The Mod TT 20px Final Harbinger stance's quick combos can offset the weapon's low attack speed.
  • (Corrupted) Bombard rockets can add up to two stacks, allowing players to collect stacks faster.

Trivia[]

  • The Silva & Aegis Prime is the first of DE's Community Melee Weapons Contest designs, which are comprised of fan-submitted weapons, to receive a Prime version.
  • On Silva & Aegis Prime, Silva Prime is a mace, while on the non-prime variant, Silva is a flaming sword.
  • Silva & Aegis Prime was likely released with Oberon PrimeIcon272 Oberon Prime, Fae King of the Forest, because Silvan means 'one who frequents glades and woods.'
