Pride and Wrath

Pride and Wrath are Update 43's signature heavy scythes—large melee weapons tied narratively and mechanically to Sirius and Orion. Unlike the Warframe itself, each scythe is a separate inventory item with its own mastery rank requirement, mod slots, and Foundry build chain. Pride channels Sirius's heat identity; Wrath channels Orion's slash identity. Both reward slam-attack gameplay through stacking buffs that mirror their respective first abilities: Coronal Ejection and Gravitic Slash.

Heavy Scythe Overview

Heavy scythes occupy the heavy melee category with wide sweeping attacks suited to crowd control during capital ship boarding. Update 43 positions them as endgame flex weapons rather than mandatory power picks—they shine when modded for status or critical builds aligned with their unique traits. Acquisition is strictly tied to Uranus Proxima: Pride blueprints drop or are sold from The Kuva Wytch/Emerald line; Wrath blueprints drop or are sold from Scoria's Angel/Crimson line.

Pride (Sirius)

Pride is described in-game as "the pride of one that knows their worth." It deals primarily Heat damage, matching Sirius's Heat progenitor element and Coronal Ejection ability theme. The unique trait Coronal Ejection triggers on slam attacks: each enemy hit grants fifteen percent Status Chance for ten seconds, stacking up to ten times for a potential one hundred fifty percent bonus before other mods apply. Against groups clustered in boarding corridors, a single slam can max stacks instantly, turning Pride into a status-delivery engine for Heat and slash procs depending on mod configuration.

Farm Pride by running The Kuva Wytch repeatedly for Emerald Talents, then exchange at Hunhow: ninety tokens for the main blueprint, forty-five for the Handle, forty-five for the Blade. Random blueprint drops from the same mission can skip token costs if RNG cooperates. Pride cannot be purchased with Crimson Talents under any circumstance.

Wrath (Orion)

Wrath embodies Orion's vengeful slash fantasy: "the wrath of one who knows revenge is all about timing." Its damage profile emphasizes Slash, aligning with Gravitic Slash and Orion's slash progenitor. The unique trait Gravitic Slash mirrors Pride's stacking structure but grants fifteen percent Critical Chance per enemy hit on slam attacks for ten seconds, stacking up to ten times. Critical-focused builds leverage Wrath in Steel Path content where armor scaling makes crit multipliers valuable.

Acquire Wrath from Scoria's Angel via Crimson Talents at identical price points: ninety main, forty-five Handle, forty-five Blade. Wrath blueprints never appear in Emerald vendor listings even though the mission drop table includes them as random rewards for Scoria's Angel runners.

Blueprint Token Costs

Blueprint Part	Pride (Emerald)	Wrath (Crimson)
Main Weapon Blueprint	90	90
Handle Blueprint	45	45
Blade Blueprint	45	45
Full set total	180	180

Weapon parts do not share the Warframe's either-token flexibility. Budget one hundred eighty tokens per scythe on top of Warframe part costs. A complete Update 43 gear set—Warframe components plus both weapons—requires running both mission lines extensively unless you buy Market bundles.

Build Synergy with Sons

Sirius and Orion share equipped weapons in mission but maintain separate mod configurations on the frame itself. Pride pairs naturally with Coronal Ejection builds using Heat dual stat mods, Thermite Rounds on primaries, and constellation star sequences favoring green Sirius stars before Celestial Clash bursts. Wrath complements Event Horizon and Gravitic Slash setups that strip armor and shields before heavy slams finish grouped enemies.

Both scythes benefit from Condition Overload–style play if you mod for status, or Blood Rush + Berserker Fury routes if leaning into Wrath crit stacks. Arcane Exodia Contagion or Melee Influence are classic synergies though Update 43 also introduces Melee Assimilation as a new Arcane option.

Pride vs Wrath Comparison

Attribute	Pride	Wrath
Associated Son	Sirius	Orion
Element Theme	Heat	Slash
Unique Trait	Coronal Ejection (Status)	Gravitic Slash (Critical)
Token Type	Emerald Talent	Crimson Talent
Mission Line	The Kuva Wytch	Scoria's Angel
Stacking Cap	10x (+150% Status Chance)	10x (+150% Critical Chance)

Most completionists craft both scythes for mastery and fashion. Speed farmers prioritize the scythe matching their preferred son build first, then return for the alternate token line.
