You just unlocked the Iceblade of Narin bundle in Warframe, and you want to know exactly how to get the most out of it. This guide walks you through everything — from equipping Narin to farming the new Entropic Eximus encounters in the Zariman. Let’s get straight to it.
Warframe Patch Overview
This drop adds Narin, the 66th Warframe to the roster, wrapped inside the Iceblade of Narin bundle. You get a full winter-storm aesthetic, two brand-new customization sets, and a return to the Zariman with a fresh enemy type: Entropic Eximus. If you picked up the bundle or already own Narin, here’s everything you need to operate effectively with your new cold-climate frame.

Narin — The 66th Warframe
Base Stats Overview
| Stat | Value |
|---|---|
| Role | New addition to the Warframe roster |
| Visual Theme | Blizzard / Frozen |
| Bundle Contents | Full Warframe + Iceblade cosmetic set |
| Availability | Purchasable from in-game Market |
Narin slots into Warframe’s ever-growing roster as the 66th unit, bringing a distinct cold-climate kit that stands apart from the fire-focused Inaros, the solar-powered Helios, and the rest of the elemental collection. The ice motif isn’t just visual — the Entropic Eximus encounters hint at a kinetic or crowd-control playstyle built around slowing, freezing, and managing space on the battlefield.
Iceblade of Narin Bundle — What You Get
The Iceblade of Narin Bundle is the primary vehicle for this patch content drop. Here’s what it delivers:
Item Breakdown
| Bundle Item | Description |
|---|---|
| Narin Warframe | Full 66th Warframe, complete with abilities and mods |
| Iceblade of Narin Skin Set | 66th Warframe skin collection |
| Customization Collection 1 | Winter-themed cosmetic set |
| Customization Collection 2 | Second chilling collection set |
| Bundle Cosmetic Pack | Additional visual enhancements |
Both customization collections are designed to work together, so you can mix and match pieces to build your own frozen Tenno look. There’s no restriction forcing you to pick one collection over the other — swap freely in the appearance editor.
How to Get Narin
There are two paths to bring Narin into your orbit:
Path 1: Purchase the Bundle
- Navigate to the Market from your Orbiter
- Search for “Iceblade of Narin” or “Narin”
- Complete the purchase using Platinum or in-game currency
- Items deliver to your Inventory > Mods & Accessories folder
Path 2: Build in the Foundry
- If you already own the base blueprint components
- Queue construction in your Foundry
- Wait for completion (standard build time applies)
Digital Extremes typically announces standalone blueprints months after a bundle launch, so keep an eye on the official forums if you want a free build path later.
Returning to the Zariman — Entropic Eximus Encounter
The Zariman has been a recurring location in Warframe lore, and this patch sends Tenno back with a new threat: Entropic Eximus enemies.
About Entropic Eximus
| Aspect | Detail |
|---|---|
| Location | Zariman missions |
| Enemy Tier | Eximus (elite variant) |
| Behavior | New entropic damage model |
| Drop Table | Likely contains Narin-related reward items |
These enemies represent a fresh challenge layer for the Zariman. Players who already have a meta strategy for those missions may need to adapt their loadouts and tactics. The entropic damage model introduces a new risk profile — pay attention to how these enemies react at range versus in tight corridors.

Pro Tips for New Narin Operators
-
Study the Entropic damage model first — before pushing hard into Zariman, learn how Entropic Eximus behaves at range and in close quarters. Your survival depends on reading their tells.
-
Use both customization collections together — the two chilling sets are designed to complement each other. Don’t stick to one; mix them for maximum visual impact and personal style.
-
Build your loadout around crowd control — an ice-themed Warframe paired with freezing or slowing abilities is a natural fit. Lean into that synergy and control space on the battlefield.
-
Check the Market after the first wave settles — bundle prices and related cosmetic items often shift in the days following a major drop. Some players report seeing discounts appear within a week.
-
Practice in lower-difficulty missions — the Zariman can be punishing on higher frequencies. Start simple and build up your confidence before tackling more intense waves.
FAQ
Q1: What is the Iceblade of Narin Bundle?
A: The Iceblade of Narin Bundle is the primary content drop for this patch. It includes the full Narin Warframe (the 66th Warframe), two winter-themed customization collections, and associated cosmetic sets. It’s available for purchase in the in-game Market.
Q2: Is Narin a frost or ice Warframe?
A: Narin carries a winter / ice-storm visual theme and is tied to the Entropic Eximus encounter in the Zariman. The exact ability kit reflects this cold-climate motif, differentiating Narin from existing fire or solar-themed Warframes in the roster.
Q3: What are Entropic Eximus enemies?
A: Entropic Eximus is a new elite enemy variant returning to the Zariman missions. They represent a fresh combat challenge with their own damage model and behavior patterns. Expect them to drop special rewards tied to the Narin bundle.
Q4: Can I customize both collections independently?
A: Yes. Both customization collections included in the bundle are fully mixable — you can swap pieces between them freely in the appearance editor. There’s no lock requiring you to use one collection over the other.
Q5: Do I need to buy the bundle to get Narin?
A: In most cases, yes. The Iceblade of Narin Bundle is the primary distribution method for Narin. If Digital Extremes later releases a standalone blueprint or construction path, that would be announced in a separate update.
Q6: Can I use Narin in co-op missions?
A: Yes. Narin, like all Warframes, functions fully in cooperative multiplayer. Tenno squads of up to four players can run together — including Zariman missions where Entropic Eximus appear.
