This will get you the following stats. Duration 125 Efficiency 135 Range 280 Strength 208 Breach Surge over the 1 was a good tip, gonna steal that : ).
One thing that i was reading about Xaku's abilities, Deny damage also increase with weapons stolen, and it's multiplicative, so now i see why combining with Breach Surge could be a good idea...
Hell yea! Been wanting to invest into xaku as well! I have seen one other all positive stat xaku build with two of his augments that i’d like to try out as well! Also, one trick i have picked up that works for me: energy nexus in place of flow sometimes is my best friend. solves the no energy issue in a great ways Xaku may be a smidge too spammy for it to work but i’m definitely going to give this build a go!
Love the build it's really nice and creative ! But at this point aren't we just playing a worse Octavia version and even cutting the farm potential with new Pets mods/updates ?
Why not use the energy incantation on grimoire and use augur reach instead of fleeting expertise, you have equilibrium zenurik plus grimoir for energy, and by doing that you get max range and extra duration
We don’t need anymore duration we have way more then we need. Duration is only important for his 4th ability which has a 40 second timer. Hit it once and your other abilities timers freeze so duration is not really important. The reason for Fleeting Expertise is because of the cost of his 3rd ability specifically DENY which is crazy expensive and in order to get the huge radiation spark hits we blast enemies with deny while they are blinded. I’ve tested this over and over and to me this makes the gameplay fun and seem less. It’s a good point/question and appreciate it
@@ambruzinetoentregadordepiz3022 yes that’s kind of the highlight of this build. When enemies are affected by surge sparks they take up to 450% more damage and that crit multiplier goes up to 1.5x so Deny is now a serious damage dealer…it’s pretty awesome
@@ultrarunnagaming How? Sparks do not increase incoming damage, only the damage of released sparks. Blindness do, but it's a stealth bonus, and only applies to melee. Unless Deny counts as melee, like Phahd glaives?
Well are all your mods on your companion correct? That’s a common mistake and make sure you are using Gaze because that really ups your damage specially after you release the sparks. Also make sure all your mods on your Warframe are as in the video. Happy hunting :)
@ultrarunnagaming oh ok that makes sense. Even after the video I felt like shade was QOL as opposed to increased damage output, and how exactly do the sparks work, I send out breach surge and I feel like the sparks don't spread too much.
I like the build, kinda sad there isn't a way to just make the dodge chance 100% or like 99% that would be so sick. It's not like there aren't other frames in the game that are pretty much invincible.
@@pancakes7483They are not additive increases they are multipliers so if you have two 50% dodge chance sources you have an effective 75% dodge chance. Could be wrong but I’m pretty sure.
I kinda like this Setup - Will defenitly give it a shot. Right now hes kinda becoming my main Frame for all sorts of things. Iam really enjoying the Jade Subsume approach (over his 3) Which.. lets u play a tad more mobile. Xaku is such a lovely frame :).
@@ultrarunnagamingmy biggest challenge with Xaku has been toxin clouds and heat procs. I guess if I can maintain overguard that prevents status effects on the frame?
Currently I like using Terrify on Xaku on his 3rd ability for the quick armor strip aoe and having the enemies not shoot you acts as a form of ‘defense’. Also whats yours attachments on your Xaku skin and how do you get them?
@@redditforee Xaku with this build is already invisible with the way we have our companion setup. The build is 95% of the time using Xakus abilities and his 3 is incredibly strong. Use his 3 on the radiation sparks and you will start seeing some craziness:)
@@redditforeeYou might have figured this out in the 2 months since this comment but you can’t pick and choose the helminth ability from the Warframe it is already determined. Octavia’s subsume is her second ability Resonator not her 3rd ability Metronome.

This build… dropped a like and subscribed. This video made me start playing warframe.thank you for the great content. Could you please make a video for the path to get to this build for a beginner. Thank you again for the great content.
That’s awesome and glad you enjoy it :). I do plan on making those type of videos in the near future need to get through a few warframes I have on my list first.
having something in a negative catigory doesn't mean build = bad, for instance with nourish or brief respite you want to have loew efficiency and equilibrium so that you get big shields becausecast spells is expensive getting huge shield and energy back from nourish and equilibrium offsets that by acting as a efficiency mod by having better energy and health orb income
I'm still playing Xaku because i love her, but since the jade patch, she really took a hit. You can't just stay in a room with your 2 against SP infested, can sometimes get tough for grineer or mixed too. Only corpus still alright. Ofc it's playable but the gap with what she was before is tremendeous.
personally, i wouldnt run transient fortitude. all you need is 200% to max out gaze ability. might have to run an extra tau crimson shard but it gives you the ability to run augur reach or augur message in that slot for more shield gating.
@@ultrarunnagaming this comment was meant for those who do not have access to shade, shade prime, or huras kubrow. Since most would resolve to shield gating.
Great video. Xaku is not a he. They are made up of three different frames, ie a pluriform. You would use "they" because of this. Again, well made video!
All I have to do is run through the enemies and boom, they all disappear. Thank you for this awesome build. I hope you continue with your videos. ♥♥♥♥

ima try that build out

Something to note; you can use a Huras kubrow for the same purpose as the shade, it has a mod called stalk which does the exact same thing
Huras Kubrow is better, actually. The cloak is the same, but the kubrow has other nice things that shade cant do

Awesome! If you like XAKU you will LOVE this build my friend.
XAKU has always been one of my favorite warframes so it felt fitting to share my favorite build of XAKU on his 4th birthday :) Enjoy!
I am still new to building and just built Xaku according to this video, however I'd like to know what's the ideal rotation as in how to play
Always keep Gradp of Lohk and The Vast Uptime active at all times. Use the lost according and use breach surgery to blind and control enemies
If you are really going to use the grimore, archon stretch could have been the way to go unless i am missing something
Archon stretch triggers from abilities, not weapons
Love the build it's really nice and creative !

Do you mean the triangle looking attachment? If so, that’s from a sister of parvos
How much does overguard stand up hits from a level 9k enemy?
It doesn’t but overguard breaking gives you another damage gate and then your shields have another damage gate.

This is not viable if you dont have Primed Continuity, your duration goes really negative if you add both transient fortitude and fleeting expertise.
