A base Nova Warframe can be purchased either from the in-game Market with Platinum, or built in one's Foundry using Blueprints earned from specific Missions. Nova's Blueprints can be found on Europa, where they are offered as Rewards for defeating the Raptors during the Assassination Mission located at the Naamah node.
To reach Naamah, you'll first need to unlock Europa on the Star Chart. You can do so by completing the following steps:
For more information on how to finish these Quests and unlock Junctions, see our Warframe Main Story Quest Guide.
You'll need to defeat the Raptors multiple times to earn all of the Blueprints necessary to build Nova. They are guaranteed to drop one of her Component Blueprints upon defeat:
Nova's Main Blueprint is available from the in-game Market for 35,000 Credits.
Please note: each Nova component (i.e. Neuroptics, Chassis, Systems) requires 12 real-world hours to craft. Nova herself requires 72 real-world hours to craft once you have all three of his Components in your Inventory. You can pay to speed up this process at any time with Platinum.
You can also obtain Nova Blueprints from The Circuit after completing The Duviri Paradox Quest. Nova Blueprints can appear as one of three available Rewards (found on a weekly rotation) after reaching the following Reward tiers:
Nova Prime can be purchased from Varzia on Maroo's Bazaar (located on Mars) during Prime Resurgence. You can either buy her directly with Regal Aya or use Aya to purchase Void Relics containing her Blueprints. Earn Aya by completing Bounties, Missions in The Void, and more.
You can also trade with other players for Void Relics and/or Blueprints. Check out the in-game Trading channel or ask your Clanmates to find and trade the items you need!
Prime Resurgence rotates every few weeks with a fresh slate of Prime Warframes, so be sure to check back often for the one you want!
