You are seriously one of the best Build crafters/ warframe RUclipsrs. Most of them don’t even bothering mentioning how certain abilities max out/where you get diminishing returns. I have learned a lot more about the back end of modding from your videos then most of the top warframe creators.
Kyai!!!!! This is perfect for my +100% Range Invigoration on Xaku! Really needed a new build, can't wait to put this together, as i'm still using your recent Khora build daily because it's so fun and BUSTED as all hell! 🤣 Great work dude, always excited to see you upload! :)
That's the first video from this channel that RUclips recommended to me and it's an instant subscription! The most informative and easy to understand Warframe guide I've seen so far. No weird greeting at the beginning, straight to the point. Great video, definitely gonna try this build!
Don’t get your hopes up, this build doesn’t work very well. Look up Mornings build guide. He has a much better build and actually plays it. This build is interesting, but it’s clear to me that it wasn’t really play tested in any capacity.
how does this not work well exactly? my build out dps's mornings due to viral / more strength and is far more mobile due to not depending on dispensary
@kyaii The only problem I have now is (I want to have madurai instead zenurik for amp dmg) when I start a mission, I have no energy, so I can't use nourish and my hound doesn't charge enough energy to “start playing”
This build is really cool but has one fatal flaw: If someone else in your squad is also running combat discipline, you'll never proc vampirc and thus never get +30% strength, which breaks everything. My current build remains unchanged. I call it: Lazy Cozy Xaku. Featuring Full strip out the gate (with 0 str wasted), 265% range and a bunch of comfort. 1 red normal shard, Transient Fortitude, Umbral Intensify, Power Drift, Overextended's -60% str = 164% str + Corrosive Projection = Armor stripped out of the box. 265% range, you loose 1 gun and 1.2m range. You could go max range, but I'd rather have Primed flow and Primed Continuity for comfort. Arcane wise, Molt Reconstruct to basically health tank by giving you and your squad +600hp every vast untime cast. This is just my cozy pick. I find that I don't really need to shield gate, stuff is either dying or not hitting you due to 75% dodge. Second pick is Molt Efficiency, also for coziness. I'm also running a blue shard to bump my health up a little and lastly I've got some yellow shards for purely comfort, not practical usage. EDIT: some people asked me in dms for the build, so heres the overframe build ID: 618091 (youtube tends to not like links in comments)
@@hobartmagagula4649 it is nothing has changed much for xaku tbh it is now easier to strip armor now so just stick to the build and you will be fine.
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
Love this build. I prefer Repo Audit to Null Audit because the Frost Eximus bubble on your companion can block your shots, whereas Repo Audit's disarm can remove enemy guns and proc magnetic + Manifold. But I didn't know Archon Stretch worked with Synergized Prospectus!
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^^
Nice build but it forces you to play in a certain way (have to have combat discipline and nobody else in the group, need to use nourish too). I just like the fact that base xaku is flexible with his base spell. with archon shard you can pretty much reach 200% str, 280% range , good duration with primed continuity and a normal efficiency which already gives you one shot potential with 3's armor strip. That lets you play around with whatever aura/weapon you want, as well as give some flexibility on a mod or two. Dat why you could for example get the 12x infinite combo on melee using the right aura.
My dear friends who struggle to find energy.: This build in paper looks great for energy. But in reality, when you're in a mission that there are no 324823498 enemies around, you will struggle maintaining energy. But you can fix it. What I did is adding equilibrium and augur secrets for rolling guard and catalyzing. I sacrificed a lot of survivability I know. But when you're out of energy, you're done for. Your weapons kill enemies and decrease your hp until you're dead. You need to be mobile tho. Augur secrets with augur reach will give you more shield and with 2 archon shards, you can start with almost max energy and start chaining your cycle. And use your parazone mod that will give you guaranteed hp orb on mercy. So you can fill your energy with that way when needed. Eximus enemies mostly give you time to mercy them. Overall, good build but in reality, if you're not in a crowded area or you need to run high distances so enemy spawns are behind you, you can struggle to maintain your energy.
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
Love me some xaku, to me he is the single best frame when it comes to playing disruption due to just how potent his damage scaling is and wipes everything at level cap, but for that i recommend Tharros Strike instead of nourish since you should only bring just an epitaph primer especially in a fissure to get and maintain the double range and strength relic buff more often and as long as possible, and tharros strike acts as a super good shield gate since its such a quick cast and can be used for stripping enemies, acolytes, and demolishers that are outside the range of his gaze.
Oh okay I see. No, you didn't mention diriga. If you read my comment carefully I say "can proc archon stretch TOO" That "too" is in reference to the hound, it's an alternative. Don't ask if I "watched the video" if you didn't read my comment properly first
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 are correct. It dosent with armor strip. But grasp still kills way faster than ocucor at high level sp. wich causes me to reload wich makes the surge not proc. Any way to combat this?
@@skate2death770you can make a group of enemies as your ally with its 3. Its 2 won't target the converted enemies but you can still damage them with your weapon
I use 164 strength with corrosive projection to hit 100% armor strip Additionally I went for duration on xaku. Enough to get 62s on my vast untime. This allows me to loop my vast for free with the "passive from zenurik (1 free cast every 60 seconds) Doing this had freed up a bunch of mod slots. :)
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.
Note: If there's another frame in the team that can heal everyone, they'll likely be healing you instaad of your Grasp healing you, and thus never triggering Archon Intensify
you could also swap his 2 for nourish/airburst/energized munitions if you're going for a weapon buffer build swap his 3 for tharros strike and build for a health tank/armor strip (I've done 2 lvl cap runs with it it hits hard af)
Don't know if Nourish is enough for an 190 Energy pool that is depleted with 2 casts, and editing off every scene where it drops low sure isn't helping. Nice voice though.
I personally don't bother with duration. Only Nourish and Vast are duration dependent and with the rate at which I spam abilities, they're realistically only active for like 10-15 seconds before I activate them again. I even have negative duration with Transient Fortitude, I usually slot it over Primed Continuity. I also swap out Rolling guard with Augur Secrets for complete shield gate refresh with Nourish. It's a little more micro-managey but it works for me. Though I forgot that combat discipline synergizes with nourish so that's a plus for me.
As a xaku main i highly agree, but i love big damage numbers so i went for breach surge over his third ability and i run torid with its incarnon to amplify damage to high hell.
@@PrxncxHxrrydoes breach surge help compensate for the loss of your armor strip? I just subsumed wisp, was kind of thinking about replacing his 1 with something other than nourish.
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
Using terrify with max Efficiancy but you say this is vanilla... Lmao, its quite min maxed to perfection with synergy between companion and frame not just slapping on vulpaphyla.
@@kyaii vanilla as using a kit close to the original. Nourrish is a damage buff like Xata's Whisper and you keep the 3. It's not a bad thing to be vanilla lol.
how is Terrify less Vanilla? All that offers is a level of armor strip they already have while Nourish has far far more synergies and powerful qualities
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?
10:35 keep in mind that arcane avengers crit boost isn't a multipliers like creeping bullseye, it adds directly to your crit chances base amount before crit chance mods, so something with a cc of 20% before avenger will now have 65% cc, then mods apply
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
Am i doing something wrong? i lose health on kill but my vampiric grasp is not working and healing me even with my 4th ability active and my guns killing enemies... can someone help?
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)
Reason I opted off of Diriga was for Reinforced Bond but that means you also lose out on Tenacious so it's really up to the player. Terrify Xaku on the other hand is great aswell!
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
Cool build, but in practice I really don't understand how you are expected to shield gate with a 100 energy ability, when you have barely over 200 energy. No primed flow makes this build very inconsistent, and you will just die. Can't shield gate with this. I am really curious, do you actually play this build? I am not a bad player, and I am VERY skeptical about this build being playable at all. So far the only way I have been able to even get going in a steel path void cascade was to spam Squad Energy restores while trying to get all my buffs and armor strip and energy economy going. On paper, and the way you are explaining it, it seems like it would work, but 230 energy when you have to constantly use 100 energy for 4 and 75 energy to move your armor strip around just isnt reliable at all. Especially if you are relying on shield gate.
But you only have two casts of your 4 in the tank and you’re relying on it for shield gate. You’re telling me that moving around playing a mission, you never need to hit your 4 more than twice before you find a bunch of energy orbs? When you need to move for void cascade for example, and you have to reapply your 3 and 4, both of which cost 40% of your energy pool. Yes nourish helps with energy income, but if your bank only allows you to gate two times before needing to find orbs, I just don’t see how that’s reliable unless you’re holding a position so there’s orbs everywhere.
Yea pretty much. Not only do enemies get crowd controlled by the Nourish procs but they also are all fully armor stripped and die pretty much immediately when I can see them. Xaku also has that 75% dodge chance making them just not be hit most of the time. The Vast Untime also stuns enemies and slows them. So yea, Nourish manages upkeep just fine.
I loved this build. Just got Xaku and trying to put together these mods. In the final part of the video you said about the coalescent shards. Now that we already have, what are the suitables combinations for this build that you can think of?
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
accuse makes enemies into allies and thus able to be buffed by nourish i ended up cutting this from the video as while the priming was insane, it instantly killed my companion on multiple occasions due to the way accused enemies are coded
like... i've got problem with whole Xaku and precise, his armor strip wich is not working on bosses like, only i've got this problem? i just can't, it's just dosen't work with things like void angels or steel path mini bosses (yes, i have 200%, all other enemies are armor striped)
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.
youd probably wanna change arcane avenger to guardian or blessing and run either health or armor increases instead of catalyzing the heal from vampiric should make health tanking quite easy
for a health tanking setup you could go with: Arcane Blessing, Adaptation and Health Conversion. And then cut back on the range investment by dropping over extended, thus eleviating str investment requirement for full strip. This will net you less mimic guns, but thats just the nature of health tanking. Less minmax but more relaxed to play.
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.
Hello kyaii, dunno if you'll answer this after 11 months but, is Catalyzing shields really needed on Xaku? I just did a level cap run and I feel like I had more energy problems than survivability. It's also impossible to shield gate with almost 0 energy. Is it ok switching that to something like primed flow or equilibrium? or my energy problems were just from thrax mag procs and I shouldn't really have energy problems in the first place?
Actually ignore what I said. What you can actually do is remove molt augmented and get the remaining strength from both archon shards and void sling from madurai. Then use arcane energize instead of molt.
@@Alatyreon ok then just use more crimson shards. Idk how u are having energy problems at all, I ran this build on level cap and had no problems with energy.
Idk if this is a glitch but arcane power ramp is effecting how manny weapons I can take I’ve had up to 31 weapons with it idk if this is the game thinking I have zero and just adding 16 more each time idk
Why radiation on the companion weapon in this build? ocucor already does base radiation, so wouldn't you be better off giving the companion corrosive or gas?
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.
So to simplify for my smooth brain what is the core gameplay loop exactly. Imma def rewatch as i try and learn them but if u have any advice for new player to the frame i am getting cast 2 to proc guns cast 3 for armor stripping and cast 4 often whenever new crowd? And then do u just keep nurish constantly up. Havnt played in awhile so nurish is new to me
@@Tripleyou Xaku is a better version of Wukong because they are both designed with afk in mind, only Xaku does it better with scaling weapons and Wukong clone doesn’t. Not to mention their passives are designed to reduce the chance of death significantly.
after just briefly checking, Mornings Xaku is a weaker version of this this build goes to lvl cap and the amount of viral being spread increases damage far more than any other source
@@kyaii Yeah, no. Morning's build is specifically made for lvl cap, and it works really well. As you said, you don't do lvl cap so it's okay if his build is better for it.
@@kyaii a mobile armor strip is better for end game over a stationary one. And terrify is the best because a feared level 9999 can’t insta gib you. Gaze sucks in the higher ups
@@kyaii well duh lvl 9999 stolen guns are going to deal a ton of damage so on and so forth . but xakus issue is mobility and survivability. doesnt matter if one or two runs do fine with nourish terrify is objectively better than gaze. you can outdamage everyone and live longer in a 1000 exolizer run as xaku with terrify

What are you using as main and melee weapon or is it just the ocucor?
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?
Any frame that can heal themselves
I use it quite often as it's very strong.
Hydroid, Saryn, Wisp to name a few
@@kyaiiThank you, and thanks for the quality content!
Thank you for the Video😊
10:35 keep in mind that arcane avengers crit boost isn't a multipliers like creeping bullseye, it adds directly to your crit chances base amount before crit chance mods, so something with a cc of 20% before avenger will now have 65% cc, then mods apply
I'm aware lol
Is Nourish still good on Xaku post nerf ?
Yup!
@@kyaii what did they nerf in him? this build is still reliable?
@@boutrosmassaad6691not xaku, they nerfed nourish helminth
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
Oh dear
The lost is definitely the best ability in the game imo. Full armour strip is nuts in high level sp. Personally i subsume xatas whisper
Am i doing something wrong? i lose health on kill but my vampiric grasp is not working and healing me even with my 4th ability active and my guns killing enemies... can someone help?
wdym it's broken but it's healing you, that's meant to happen
@ no no i meant its not healing me, Vampiric grasp works with enemies effected by gaze but not when i kill enemies with my 4th ability and stolen guns
they have to be hit by your fourth, not just when it's active
Need to be hit by the wave on 4th, or within the range of gaze
Your brain has to be massive to even think of all these diffrent combinations makes my head hurt 😂
slick editing
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)
Reason I opted off of Diriga was for Reinforced Bond but that means you also lose out on Tenacious so it's really up to the player.
Terrify Xaku on the other hand is great aswell!
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
duplex bonds companions cannot use abilities
moreover, the reason i use a hound is for reinforced bond, which diriga cannot do
What do you use for a primary, what is your companion what is your companions weapon
I made a sevagoth build for a red crit phantasma with excellent energy regen
Cool build, but in practice I really don't understand how you are expected to shield gate with a 100 energy ability, when you have barely over 200 energy.
No primed flow makes this build very inconsistent, and you will just die. Can't shield gate with this.
I am really curious, do you actually play this build? I am not a bad player, and I am VERY skeptical about this build being playable at all. So far the only way I have been able to even get going in a steel path void cascade was to spam Squad Energy restores while trying to get all my buffs and armor strip and energy economy going.
On paper, and the way you are explaining it, it seems like it would work, but 230 energy when you have to constantly use 100 energy for 4 and 75 energy to move your armor strip around just isnt reliable at all. Especially if you are relying on shield gate.
I never run out of energy due to Nourish
But you only have two casts of your 4 in the tank and you’re relying on it for shield gate.
You’re telling me that moving around playing a mission, you never need to hit your 4 more than twice before you find a bunch of energy orbs?
When you need to move for void cascade for example, and you have to reapply your 3 and 4, both of which cost 40% of your energy pool.
Yes nourish helps with energy income, but if your bank only allows you to gate two times before needing to find orbs, I just don’t see how that’s reliable unless you’re holding a position so there’s orbs everywhere.
Yea pretty much. Not only do enemies get crowd controlled by the Nourish procs but they also are all fully armor stripped and die pretty much immediately when I can see them.
Xaku also has that 75% dodge chance making them just not be hit most of the time.
The Vast Untime also stuns enemies and slows them.
So yea, Nourish manages upkeep just fine.
er.. isn't Archon stretch energy restoration only works on warframe abilities only ? I don't think it works companions ability
why would i say it works when it doesnt lol
go try it for yourself and youll see it does
@@kyaii ok thanks
Does the Hound require any specific parts, or can it just be any Hound you acquire from Sisters of Parvos?
i think it does require a few specific parts to have enough base shields
i may be wrong so check yourself if you can
I loved this build. Just got Xaku and trying to put together these mods.
In the final part of the video you said about the coalescent shards. Now that we already have, what are the suitables combinations for this build that you can think of?
ability damage shards for rad and run a duplex bond helstrum companion
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
Terrify from nekros
We need a prime stretch before Xaku prime drops
Kyaii doesn’t miss
Good video but bad buikd
at 4:09 what causes the extra waves other then the main nourish explosion
accuse makes enemies into allies and thus able to be buffed by nourish
i ended up cutting this from the video as while the priming was insane, it instantly killed my companion on multiple occasions due to the way accused enemies are coded
@@kyaii thats pretty neat ty
what about second arcane slot?
Another banger as usual
Do you have your builds on Overframe?
Bro you forgot to give us the link of your friend video about the ocucor
its in the cards though ill add it to the description
Hello Kyaii. Considering the armor changes, how much strength would I need to full strip the armor?
still 200%
@@kyaii thanks
my archon stretch energy regen isnt multiplying with nourish, might just be me idk
Would love builds without shield gate, pretty tired of it
like... i've got problem with whole Xaku and precise, his armor strip wich is not working on bosses like, only i've got this problem? i just can't, it's just dosen't work with things like void angels or steel path mini bosses (yes, i have 200%, all other enemies are armor striped)
Xaku babyyyy
What arcane you use? Molt augmented and Avenger ?
yup
@@kyaii about to your hound did you craft it by parts ?
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.
youd probably wanna change arcane avenger to guardian or blessing and run either health or armor increases instead of catalyzing
the heal from vampiric should make health tanking quite easy
for a health tanking setup you could go with: Arcane Blessing, Adaptation and Health Conversion. And then cut back on the range investment by dropping over extended, thus eleviating str investment requirement for full strip. This will net you less mimic guns, but thats just the nature of health tanking. Less minmax but more relaxed to play.
i definitely wouldnt drop range... other mods are far less needed
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 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.
They, bro it ain't that hard
@@avalokiteshvara113 It's not, but I like calling her a she because her proportions are feminine 🥰
What bonus did you take from those golden archon shards?
It looks like casting speed, just going off the video
So he’s the same type of stand as silver chariot
What did you put on those amber archon shards?
How does this compare to a regular high strength build plus roar?
So you’re saying that doing void sling, I would only need to do it once? Or is it something I would have to do continuously?
only once until you need to recast your 2 and 3
Hello kyaii, dunno if you'll answer this after 11 months but, is Catalyzing shields really needed on Xaku? I just did a level cap run and I feel like I had more energy problems than survivability. It's also impossible to shield gate with almost 0 energy. Is it ok switching that to something like primed flow or equilibrium? or my energy problems were just from thrax mag procs and I shouldn't really have energy problems in the first place?
Remove the augment and use arcane grace. Slot flow or equilibrium there.
Actually ignore what I said. What you can actually do is remove molt augmented and get the remaining strength from both archon shards and void sling from madurai. Then use arcane energize instead of molt.
no thanks, I refuse to use void sling apart from min max survivals and arbitrations.
@@Alatyreon ok then just use more crimson shards. Idk how u are having energy problems at all, I ran this build on level cap and had no problems with energy.
@@Alatyreon also bro u just said ur doing level cap, thats min maxxing..
What parts did you use for the hound
You say use a sister’s hound but can you just take any one you get or does it have to be build with a certain configuration?
might be a certain config, it just cant have a negative shield modifier
Idk if this is a glitch but arcane power ramp is effecting how manny weapons I can take I’ve had up to 31 weapons with it idk if this is the game thinking I have zero and just adding 16 more each time idk
wait what? seriously? is it possible you had the fissure buff which doubled your range?
@@kyaii yea and this has only happened with arcane power ramp i think it’s a glitch cause it only happens sometimes
can you replicate this consistently at all? cause im attempting to right now
what are you doing that triggers it
@@kyaiiI’ve not found a consistent way to get more but if I find out I’ll let you know since xaku is the only frame I use
@@kyaii but you can’t alread have max guns grab or it doesn’t lets u pull agin
What are you using for your amber shards?
casting speed
I'm a xaku main, soo i know what u mean with this video, this frame with this build is insane 300IQ!
Why radiation on the companion weapon in this build? ocucor already does base radiation, so wouldn't you be better off giving the companion corrosive or gas?
what does ocucor having radiation have anything to do with companion? Ocucor doesn't have it for CC, it's damage purely
@@kyaii I was just assuming you would want another unique status type for gun CO, didn't think about CC from it.
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.
neither builds need the shards but protea doesnt need strength at all because of how her turrets scale, itd be better used on xaku imo
Protea actually armor strips quite well with her augment, but you have to use her 4, which I know many people don't like.
protea doesn't need armor strip she do big DMG and heat armor strips anyway
Good quality content
So to simplify for my smooth brain what is the core gameplay loop exactly. Imma def rewatch as i try and learn them but if u have any advice for new player to the frame i am getting cast 2 to proc guns cast 3 for armor stripping and cast 4 often whenever new crowd? And then do u just keep nurish constantly up. Havnt played in awhile so nurish is new to me
are the yellow archon shards for casting speed?
yea
Tbh I think Xaku is just a better Wukong, but great video as always.
In what ways do you feel those two frames are similar? To me they are about as opposit as it gets pretty much
@@Tripleyou Xaku is a better version of Wukong because they are both designed with afk in mind, only Xaku does it better with scaling weapons and Wukong clone doesn’t. Not to mention their passives are designed to reduce the chance of death significantly.
@@Sci-Fi_Freak_YT😂😂😂
any alternatives for not having a hound companion?
Diriga though you won't be able to use Reinforced Bond
What do you do to mitigate gas procs on you
Is this build still sufficient after the nourish nerf in the helminth?
yea
Could you do lvl cap builds please?
i dont do that and wont make content for it specifically though this build does work at lvl cap
Ok thank you though also I hope you feel better.
Morning has a good lvl cap build for Xaku.
after just briefly checking, Mornings Xaku is a weaker version of this
this build goes to lvl cap and the amount of viral being spread increases damage far more than any other source
@@kyaii Yeah, no. Morning's build is specifically made for lvl cap, and it works really well. As you said, you don't do lvl cap so it's okay if his build is better for it.
how about looking into terrify or pillage over xaku's 3 thank me later
Why exactly? On an ability DPS setup we don't need Xatas and their 3 already gives massive armor strip
@@kyaii a mobile armor strip is better for end game over a stationary one. And terrify is the best because a feared level 9999 can’t insta gib you. Gaze sucks in the higher ups
My level cap Xaku run with Nourish was just fine, quite easy
@@kyaii well duh lvl 9999 stolen guns are going to deal a ton of damage so on and so forth . but xakus issue is mobility and survivability. doesnt matter if one or two runs do fine with nourish terrify is objectively better than gaze. you can outdamage everyone and live longer in a 1000 exolizer run as xaku with terrify
Zenurik school does work for this right?
safe build but not all players have them shards ....yeah!
so they can use madurai instead
What exactly is the reflex denial for? its kinda annoying. can i just take it out or does that break something?
you can take it off
what's the build of the hound? I mean which parts
What are the yellow shards for?
