Warframe | The BEST Xaku Build You'll EVER SEE | Steel Path | 2023

Why does my gaze strip 99% and not 100%? Very weird, anyway nice vid as always!

Immediate sub, super well explained, simple enough to understand if you've never played the frame, informative enough to learn something new if you play them a lot. Keep doing good work

My xaku has around 240 ish strength with 250 range nd man he is op asf. I run vampiric grasp also but i play long sp survival md stuff so i use arcane blessing just to be on the safe side. With arcane blessing that’s when u can truly stand there and just tank shit. I run the regular build when im lazy but when i feel like using my main gun as well i use tharos strike just so i cant strip acolytes since xaku 3rd abilities plus my own gun does so much damage that i honestly dont need 24/7 armor strip. Ferlax and phenmor shreds everything especially with the 1st ability on.

This is me just thinking, but would running Diriga with the bond mod that clones itself be useful to proc electric for energy regen. Or just use diriga

Thanks for the video, the nourish + arcane avenger combo sounds like something i want to check out on different frames! On Xaku Im using Pillage instead of their 3, as I dont like using Gaze very much

I still don't have grendel to subsume and the hound and I can say your xaku build can melt omg I love it

Your brain has to be massive to even think of all these diffrent combinations makes my head hurt 😂

Bro you forgot to give us the link of your friend video about the ocucor

Noice!! Gonna try this build this week!! Thanks kyaii

An alternative companion option is Shade, whose Ghost mod can give you permanent invisibility, since your Grasp guns do not break it.

slick editing

I think this is my first time seeing Archon Intensify recommended in a build since it's release 😅
Are there any other frames that could utilize it in a build that isn't outclassed?

lil trick for xaku, you can cast all the powers of the lost to one enemy to create immortal lure that steals enemy attention. cant say it's game changing but it exists lol. thx for vid

Simply incredible, currently the best build videos in the community by far.

Been running nourish xaku for a long time now. Xaku is my fav frame and ocucor is my fav weapon. The problem with this build is (especially steel path) ocucor needs a riven to combat the higher steel path. And when u go to get a kill your grasp kills whatever before the ocucor wich forces the perk not to proc wich makes the ocucor bad. When it already struggles at higher levels. Fun for og star chart though. But still have the same prob with ocucor.

You really only have insane build

even xatas whisper is strong af, i was messing around for fun with it on Kullervo i replaced his 2 with it, with the new helios armor strip you just need to strip 1 enemy then curse a group, use 4 to strip all damaged from the ability, use 1 for 300% crit heavy attack with stropha, or if you have the polearm zaw use exodia contagion arcane with 12xcombo and just watch the entire screen fill with numbers

What about energy generation? Having to rely on vast untime to shieldgate and having limited energy to do so while also replacing xata's whisper leads to some unnecessary recasts? Decent build but not necessarily the best

i love the builds you make because you actually explain them well. it makes me feel like i actually get the game a bit more.

what the…WHAT THE.. i never found a xaku build that could me satisfy..but this..
oh boy .. he will be the 927382 Frame that i slap nourish on xD

I was wondering why nobody was actually using the archon intensity/ combat discipline / arcane avenger combo. I was planning on a Titania build with such setup but I need to decide which helminth ability to armor strip, since corrosive projection can’t be access anymore

if you use hunter adrelaine mode you wwill infinte energy infinte health as well becasue of the mode you using

I made a sevagoth build for a red crit phantasma with excellent energy regen

From all my experimenting, no matter what you do with Xaku if you do not run EVERY range mod on him he just doesn't do anything. And i get it, DE are trying not to have another "Ember WoF" frame and Xaku is more WoF plus Mesa's Peacemaker rolled into one. But imagine being new to the game, specifically making sure to experience everything you can before looking up anything, and your experience with playtesting Xaku leaves you confused as he seemingly doesn't do anything.

equinox when 😭

If anyone wants to do homework, research, or just watch a movie while playing xaku, then subsume on cloak arrow and a macro to refresh 1 and 4.

Does the Hound require any specific parts, or can it just be any Hound you acquire from Sisters of Parvos?

I am debating myself whether I should invest shards on Protea or Xaku, Protea is harder to kill with her 1, got more range with her turrents compare to the guns of xaku, and can use her 3 to support her squad, I know she doesnt have armor strip but that could easily fix by a subsume ability or Unairu.

I am confuse.

Theres just always that one thing in every build that ruins it for a casual player, like advising a build to use 2 archon strength shards. Theres not a lot of casual players out there with 2 free red archon shards floating around

Xaku babyyyy

er.. isn't Archon stretch energy restoration only works on warframe abilities only ? I don't think it works companions ability

If anyone wants another idea besides CD + Nourish, since you’re building max range anyways, Resonator over their 1 works quite well. As long as the enemies are stripped of defenses your 2 will kill them especially with 4 debuff since they’ll scale infinitely. Honestly the increased damage from Nourish is a bit overkill. Resonator turns off all the ai around you so now they can’t focus on hitting you let alone actually hitting you. Makes endurance/Duviri level cap a literal breeze. Love the video Kyai! Can’t wait for the next one^^

What would you replace Catalyzing Shields with if you dont want to use shield gating for survivability?

I know shield gating builds are good and with the 75% dodge you wont have to spam abilities as much but for content where you want to relax a bit I find them too tedious.

Do you have fun playing warframe or do you find making these videos as a job now
Because it would suck if you find no joy in making these videos which a lot of other warframe creators feel

Morning's khora build has a diriga build, though not skimping on forma for full build it does full priming and he goes pretty in depth on hiw it works

Could you do lvl cap builds please?

Hi kyaii hope covid over for u !! Glad to see my new fav frame here ! U can also take diriga with arc coil precept mod for archon stretch. Alternatively for running molt augmented when i do quick mission or for any other helminth u can run : Corrosive projection + umbral intensify + transient fortitude with 2 Red Shard; 1 Tauforged and 1 normal in order to reach 100% armor strip with Gaze. (For anyone who like terrify and xaku i recommend 2 red tauforged because u need 167 strength is this case)

They really dont require that much to build them to be pretty Godly. Xaku is my main frame, and i love them to death.

My build lately, is just:
- Aura: Corrosive Projection
- Exilis: Power Drift
- Primed Continuity
- Overextended
- Stretch
- Augur Secrets
- Equilbrium
- Umbral Vitality
- Umbral Intensify
- Umbral Fiber

- Arcane: Molt Efficiency
- Arcane: Molt Augmented

(I know the full Umbral set is distasteful, but its really fine on Xaku, and you can always mix around mods to fit what you want)

Armor - 408
Energy - 230
Health - 1,005
Shield - 329

Duration - 155%
Efficiency - 100%
Range - 235%
Strength - 156%

I'd recommend an Amber shard for +_% Maximum Energy on Spawn, so you dont have to build up your energy to get going.
Also, an Azure shard for HP/s, to keep yourself from dying from damage that passes your shields.

With 3 Crimson shards, or Tauforged Crimson shards, you can bring your Strength up to 186%-201%

At 186% Strength, you'll only need 150 kills for Molt Augmented to bring you to 200% Strength. In the meantime, lets make sure were doing some fine Armor Strip with:

Subsume Xaku's 1 with Pillage. Its a great Armor Strip ability while on the move, it can save your from statuses, and it gives you Overshield. Perfect for survivability, and for those missions where you cant sit still at your Gazed target.

Also, Molt Efficiency is able to be switched out, i just love being able to keep my abilities up as long as possible.

For Primary, you cant go wrong with Torid Incarnon, especially when your frame does all the work anyway.

Edit: A fast weapon is also perfect, like just a Fulmin Prime in Auto mode just to tear down Nullifier Corpus shields, so your Grasp can hit them

Edit: With Corrosive Projection, at 186% Strength, it's actually already at 100% Armor Strip, basically. You have 93% Strip with Gaze, plus -18% Armor with Projection

Tbh I think Xaku is just a better Wukong, but great video as always.

any alternatives for not having a hound companion?

I have been so excited for this video, did not disappoint!

you are a blessing on the community. thank you for your work kyai.

This build requires you to get 250 kills before gaining 100% armor strip. Somewhat limiting on many missions. If you sacrifice some range (2 weapons less) you can gain strength and have access to full strip from the start of any mission.

Could this combination work for any other frame like nekros, Frost, Kullervo, would nourish affect finisher damage?

I love her, and i love that she didn't get nerfed because of the whole AFK gameplay. She is one of the best characters in the game with her insane damage and comfortable gameplay.

A+ vid, theyre always so detailed
