How to Get Narin in Warframe: Entropic Kuva, Blueprint Drops and Crafting

Narin, Warframe's 66th frame, arrived with Update 44: Iceblade of Narin in September, and she's still one of the most sought-after farms in the game. She's a fast, Cold-focused rapier dancer who restores her Shields by draining Cold status from enemies and ends fights with a sword-dance ultimate that shatters Armor and Shields. Her first ability, Neote, is also her Helminth ability, so even players who don't main her want a copy.

The good news is that you can get her completely free, and you don't have to rely on luck. This guide covers both routes, every crafting resource and the tricks for dealing with the Entropic Eximus that guard the currency you need. It's up to date for Update 44.1 and its hotfixes (late October 2026).

What you need

You can also buy Narin from the Market for Platinum, either on her own or in the Narin Bundle with her signature weapons, but everything below is about earning her in-game.

Route 1: Trade Entropic Kuva to Cephalon Melica

This is the reliable way to get Narin, because every Entropic Eximus kill gets you closer to your goal.

1. Finish the quests. Complete Angels of the Zariman and Whispers in the Walls. Yuvan Peak, the new hub on the dark side of Earth, unlocks after both.
2. Go to the Zariman. Entropic Eximus can show up in any Zariman Ten Zero mission, and they spawn more often than other Eximus types there.
3. Kill Entropic Eximus and grab the Entropic Kuva they drop. See the section below for how to actually crack them.
4. Visit Cephalon Melica. She stands at Yuvan Peak, and you can also talk to her near the entrance of the Chrysalith, the Zariman's hub. Open her Classroom Supplies.
5. Buy the blueprints. The Neuroptics, Chassis and Systems cost 130 Entropic Kuva each, and the main Narin blueprint costs 400. That's 790 in total.

If you're short on time, buy the three component blueprints first. They take 12 hours each to build, so you can get them cooking while you farm the last 400 for the main blueprint.

Route 2: Farm the blueprints in Zariman missions

Every part also drops as a mission reward on the Zariman. The rates come from Digital Extremes' official drop tables:

Digital Extremes doubled the main blueprint's drop weight in Hotfix 44.0.1, the day after launch, because Exterminate and Mobile Defense don't normally drop Warframe blueprints.

The smart move is to combine both routes. Run those exact missions while killing every Entropic Eximus you see. Any part that drops is 130 or 400 Entropic Kuva you don't have to spend.

How to kill Entropic Eximus

Entropic Eximus are the real wall in this farm, and Digital Extremes added a detailed explanation in Hotfix 44.0.1 after players struggled with them:

• They sit inside a bubble that blocks projectiles and stops Warframe abilities from hurting them, from both inside and outside.
• They take 90% less damage from anything that isn't melee. Operators deal a bit more, with a 75% reduction instead.
• Companions won't target them, so don't count on your pet.
• The answer is to step inside the bubble and use your melee weapon. Watch out for the orbs they slam down around themselves.
• A Tauron Strike breaks the bubble on contact.
• At Yuvan Peak, the Iceblade of Narin blessing from Narin's Crest lets your melee hits break the bubble. Only high-Mastery players can grant it, but it applies to everyone in that hub, so it's worth picking up if someone offers.
• Void Angels always bring a few Entropic Eximus with them, so don't skip the Angel encounters.

Bring a strong melee weapon and a frame that can survive close-range fights. The Eximus are the only source of Entropic Kuva, so speed in killing them is speed in getting Narin.

Crafting requirements

Once you have the blueprints, take them to the Foundry. Here's what each one costs:

You'll pick up plenty of Voidgel Orbs while farming the Zariman, but check your stock of Entrati Lanthorns, Thrax Plasm and Cryotic before you commit.

Tips and common mistakes

• Don't farm Argon Crystals too early. They decay over time, so collect the two you need just before you build the Systems.
• Don't shoot Entropic Eximus from range. It's tempting, but the bubble and 90% damage reduction make it a waste of ammo.
• Her weapons come from Melica too. Narin's signature bow, Nunchasa, and her pistols, Aksondol, are also bought from Melica with Entropic Kuva, so plan your spending if you want the full set.
• Neote for Helminth. If you only want Narin to feed her to the Helminth, remember you'll lose her once you do, so consider keeping a copy for Mastery or play.
• Recent Riven change. Since Hotfix 44.1.3, Riven dispositions are gone, so Nunchasa and Aksondol Rivens now roll at the same strength as any other weapon's.

Is Narin worth it?

Yes. She's free to earn, her farm doesn't depend on rare rotations if you go the Entropic Kuva route, and her Neote ability is useful on other frames through the Helminth. Plan for a few sessions of Zariman runs, start building the parts early, and remember that the final build alone takes three days.
