You’re truly an amazing content creator. Feel proud of yourself because you’re doing amazing man!! Keep up the great work and thank you for your hard work 👍❤️
I think my favorite thing with Xaku is running the Zariman incarnons- I prefer Felarx over Phenmor since Grasp's a great roomclearer anyway, and if there's something that can take more than a few seconds of Grasp fire, Felarx oneshots it. Void angels are an absolute laugh- Click their heads, healthbar is GONE. Also fun fact, the damage of Grasp scales faster than health and armor starting at lvl 80, so the higher you go, the easier it is. Also also, I recommend keeping Grasp, two massive AOEs of full armor strip are amazing. You can camp an area and anything that walks in just fucking dies lmao My build is similar, but also different to this, which is interesting- I go minus efficiency to get the strength I need, but I also run Energy Nexus, Primed Flow, and Zenurik, so I never have any energy problems. Range is 100% the most needed stat, Duration is nice so I have that around 150%, I believe, and Strength sits at 175% or so.
Xaku is my favourite frame! Although I prefer not giving up his 3rd ability. At higher levels shield gating burns through too much energy alone, so using accuse from his 3 to convert a bunch of enemies into allies is a great way to keep the heat off of you. If use use the Relentless lost Augment mod for his 3 it will give you +105% ability strength for his 3 meaning you only need 100% strength in order to full strip. That means that I have to swap out his 1 unfortunately but it doesnt synergise with his 2 or 3, all it does is add extra damage which you dont need anyway so I ditch his 1 in favour of dispensary. Rolling equilibrium with dispensary means you have unlimited energy and you can use his 1 in order to shield gate, while also getting energy back from his 1 to keep shield gating. I run Brief respite, Primed sure footed, overextended, primed continuity, equilibrium, relentless lost, catalyzing shields, stretch, umbral intensify, and augur secrets. this has around 140% duration (more but I havent been bothered to max my primed continuity mod as It'll get taken off so many builds...), 100% efficiency, 230+% range and 100% strength. For arcanes as I dont really need anything I still run energize, and a flex slot depending on what you're going against. I use arcane ice, but thats because I like to spend a few hours in steel path kuva survivals and the amount of flame procs in that area from eximus' suck. Without rolling guard you would normally have to switch to operator for a while so this arcane is really nice to just ignore them completely. Switching into operator mode isnt all that bad either as your weapons keep firing! Arcane resistance could be nice if you're going against toxin procs. I have 2 blue shards to increase max energy as well. At the start of the mission I drop an energy pad so I can afford to drop my 1 and get infinite energy, then Ill start cycling through my relentless lost casting it 3 times to build up the stacks and you're set. Find a nice room to stay in and use Gaze on an enemy on either side of that room (you can have 2 of them with around 57m range which is great) that will full strip armor AND shields which terrify doesnt, and it doesnt make everyone run away which is bad for KPM. Then you just cast 2 a few times to max out the guns and then keep your 4 up, spamming 1 when you need to for shield gating and energy. If you're getting overwhelmed by enemies or being forced to shield gate too much you cast accuse which will convert a bunch of enemies to your side for a while. These guys will draw fire away from you or whatever you're trying to protect (kuva life support) for a while until either you decide to kill them off or they die themselves. Bear in mind in your video you said you're 1 and 2 will never run out which is not quite true, when you recast your 4th its actually not active for 0.7seconds so your other abilities tick down for a bit meaning that eventually your 1, 2 and more importantly for me, my 3 will eventually decay. So every now and then you will need to re-setup but thats not hard to do. So yeah, thanks for coming to my Ted talk on why xaku is best frame.
Seems to be a fun and engaging build, But it also seems like normal Xaku with extra steps. I get that terrify is the new kid on block but putting terrify and having to constantly cast it as opposed to just using gaze on 2 targets in tandem with The Vast Untime to freeze all timers just seems a bit counter productive.

7:10 styanax helminth is better for armor strip imo, yea sure it needs some more ability strenght but you dont lose alot of energy every time you cast it (also that armor strip is permanent)
0:33 💛🤍💜🖤 That's honestly the entire reason why I main Xaku tbh. I started playing in early 2022 and the first thing I did after the tutorial was buy plat and buy Xaku.
Just wondering, gaze is good because with Xaku, you're already building for range and it armor strips the enemy it traps swell as enemies in a certain radius around it (12m base scales with range). Vast untime pauses it also, so why go with terrify when, it's on a duration and causes enemies to run away when you can have zones of basically permanent armor strip and not have to chase any enemies down? Even if energy is an issue go for the augment which can give the ability 105% additional strength and 45% additional efficiency. Again not trying to say the build is bad i'm just curious about why go for terrify when gaze and the other abilites offered by the lost are already great in Xaku's kit Just some other stuff i'm wondering why no flow as you said Xaku is energy hungry (replace augur message with it with good ability management you'll be fine). Also xata's whisper stacks on top of grasp of lohk so try so strength is also really good on him so why no strength?
All valid points you make! Terrify is mainly used because it has slightly wider range while also being good for shield gating. It is mainly used in non survival scenarios like exterminate where running through the mission fast is required and it does that better than Gaze. For survival purposes I actually do recommend Gaze though. Enemies running away is not a big deal since The Vast Untime slows enemies. This Xaku is energy hungry but if you keep the KPM up then you won't run out of energy. The low strength is counteracted by molt augmented which gives us another 60 and puts above the 138% strength needed to armor strip fully with Terrify. Again all great points you make here! This was just my take on a "Gun Runner" Xaku and I appreciate the critiques.
Finally, my people. I've built my xaku with the mentality of using adaptation and health instead of shieldgating because i just don't run shieldgate builds at all. I ended up with Growing Power upping my str to 200%+. I've used a variety of non-maxed mods(some i'm too lazy to forma and max but some are required to not drain as much cuz they're corrupted mods). I went with Growing Power, Power Drift(only half, too lazy to forma again), Overextended R5, Stretch, Flow, Blind Rage R5, Adaptation(R8, lazy), Umbral intensify R9, Archon Continuinty(R8,lazy), Augur Secrets. For arcanes i went with arcane guardian and arcane energyze. But for shards.... i needed to put 1 red +10% str shard and 3 blue +150 health shards. This is because i haven't used Vitality so adaptation doesn't have WHAT to defend. The last shard can not be there or just be another +150 health. This build has about 30m radius strip on The Lost. Coupled with running Magus Anomaly(basically mag's pull but on operator) for CC enemies really never get outside of its range. But the duration of Vast Uptime is only around 35 seconds. Also energyze is needed here due to negative efficiency of 70%.
I love Xaku as a frame but he seems weak compared to wisp and zephyr. I have 4 forma on him and zero on wisp and zephyr and they feel so much stronger, not to mention how energy hungry he is. He also isn’t the best in group play but I could say the same for zephyr. I want to main him so bad but can’t seem to get into a groove with him.

Great video, there are way too few videos about Xaku. I am not sure I would call them non-binary, after all Xaku is made of parts from Three different Warframes (males and females). The lost are great abilities really, sure Gaze may be the star of the group because yea defense strip is too good. But Accuse is a great CC scaling with range and Deny is awesome scaling directly with Grasp of Lohk (the number of stolen weapons). On my Xaku set up I usually replace Xata's Whisper. I like to play Xaku very mobile I only put down my Gazes fields when I need to deal with a beefier target, Grasp of Lokhs is usually more than enough to deal with the majority of ads (there are 15 of them after all)
Thank you! Xaku is confirmed as non-binary by DE and the representation is nice so I thought I would mention it! Replacing Xatas whisper is always good but I thought I would try something different with this Terrify approach. Thank you for the comment!
Vinalla xaku is fine I personally just built him around power strength and range use his gaze for a %100 armor strip but if you got the modes but terrify xaku is good to with less effort on power strength
Weird setup on your end, the build i currently use is 200+ on duration and range and 192% on strength for armor strip 55 efficiency but that doesnt bother me since i only spam 1 ability which is the 4, since every skill is paused all i need to do is either collect stuff or just move around excelus cause some can proc fire that will kill you un notice, but i replaced xatu whisper with harrow chains, so if i need shield instantly i use throw chains so everything else can focus on strength or range
Just to add on with or without the strip armor they die too fast before i can even cast an armor strip, my build is just thst annoyingly that good, too bad i forgot xatu whisper cant make auto headshots
HINT HINT none of Xakus abilities get rid of the invisibility from Huras Kubrows so you can be passively invisible while shredding everything in sight. Kinda busted if you ask me…
@@VitchAndVorty Huras kubrows have a mod called stalk that will turn you invisible if there’s an enemy within 30m, you lose the invisibility of you attack usually but xaku’s 2 doesn’t count as attacking you you can have passive invisibility while you recast the vast untime and terrify
He really is, until you realize you have to make half your build abt shield gating or other kinds of damage ignore because 75% evasion, hell 95% evasion, just don't cut it
Dang i was hoping they would stop turning Xaku into a stupid skeleton with his ability, at least for this skin. Its the only reason he's Helminth Fodder imo
@@kyaii I mean it looks better than original. but still youre running around like you're jonesing for a trick or treat and the skin you bought GONE during his otherwise most spectacular looking ability
With every duration mod (including ones that have two effects like Niras Hatred) with two red shards gets you over 60 seconds for vast untime. When combined with Inner Might it allows for a free ability cast every 60 seconds. So essentially it removes all energy problems instantly.
I thought of this build before ONLY because Xaku is a skeleton. Also, if you do have creeping terrify, and vast untime on an enemy, wouldn't that make enemies slowed to 100%?
@@kyaii although, the dodge chance is quite high, having enemies got proc when you get damaged kinda like Eye for an Eye, also the energy multiplier you can get with it so i don't rely to much on energize. Funny enough, i also use adaptation mods so my Xaku literally invincible lmao
If you count new as returning in August of this year then yea maybe I am! Although you can also probably assume that I have abit more knowledge on the game because of my videos!
Not being a nob or trying to ruin the video cery well presented im a xaku main ran it since it came out made hella builds for him that build you have physical dosnt and wont work for steel path… you need duration and u need strength again good build but you need more than 84% strength and dont need nekros ability for steel path
Confusing comment. Xaku doesn't need duration because Vast Untime pauses all ability timers and you'll be recasting it alot since it weakens enemies to void damage, which his turrets do. Strength at 84% is subset by molt augmented which brings us above the 138% needed to full strip with terrify. Having low strength doesn't matter since the guns damage scales off of enemy level so with a full strip, you will 1 shot them anyways.
@@kyaii fairs ye but with a build i have and can take 300-999 lvl enemies down in seconds i guess depending on how u play and what u play xaku with asin defense/ survival u need more duration as actually cast his 4th will cost every 20secs 🤷🏻♂️
I explain in the video. Gaze is the only version of The lost that Xaku uses. Terrify needs less power strength for full strip, isn't stationary, and has more range while allowing you to keep xatas whisper which is great with this build.
@@kyaii I will say, KnightmareFrame came up with this build and I have been using it for awhile now. This is also one of my favorite builds and as the comment below you said, it is also in theme of the spooky scary skeleton. It’s a perfect xaku build. 10/10 I just came here to see a different perspective and build style, not many of the mods are different, which is what I was expecting but I like to see what different people run. Only recently discovered your channel popping up in my recommended section. 10/10 personality 10/10 videos 10/10 quality👍🏻👌🏻🤌🏻
No. Gaze strip shield too. If you go on void on mot you prefer gaze.. terrify Is good for sure, but with j'accuse you increase your chance to survive and gaze strip armor and shield. Put terrify only to strip greneer armor and slow enemies make no sense. Another things. I play xaku with energize r5 and 45% efficiency without any problems of Energy. So streamline Is useless and blind rage give you enough strenght to put overextended and have 200 % Power strenght. This video, in my opinion, has a wrong view of xaku. You don t really understand how to use and mod him.
If you use cunning drift you get 16 which I explain 15 minutes in. Energy economy is fine if you use Zenurik or R5 Arcane Energize. Also not an AFK build at just meant to be some fun on this frame.
People that don't main xaku don't know how shit he is rn they nerfed his fire rate for grasp of lohk u killed those things slow af compared to b4 his tennogen skin update came
*they Personally I find Xaku to still be in a fantastic place. Remember not every enemy is a corrupted heavy gunner and while the lohk guns are shooting things, so are you.
@@kyaii he's alright just not as op as b4 I'd literally just stand in one place in steel path and he does all the work now he dies because the guns don't shoot as fast just sucks they did that and never mentioned it I guess because not many people use him
@@kyaii wisp's sex is female, xaku is fused with parts of multiple soldiers, both male and female. I don't understand your point here. Xaku is androgynous, stop pushing woke shit in the game please. This is both annoying and dissapointing. Great video btw! keep it up.
To much you need to do, to actually kill 120 lvl mobs, i can just grab fulmin, or any other gun, or melee weapon and kill them faster. Very weak warframe.
Ehhh you can kill enemies of any level pal (circuit lvl 2k+ in steel path are a joke with xaku) ..... seems you are just too stupid to understand how the frame (or warframe in general) works .
@@kyaii damn even got tried to make you a man yet here you are being a gender affirming RUclipsr. Bros def a pedo. Keep the gender out of video games you weirdo
what gender is Wisp? what gender is Excalibur? if you say male or female your literally just an asshole who hates representation and is actively making the world a worse place for minorities congrats also, a pedophile? like all the Christian pastors? sure, I'm 17 🤡
Why does something like the gender of the frame make it “really cool”? Guess we need a polyamorous asian wheelchair bound frame for even more “really cool” inclusivity. 😂
Because inclusiveness matters? Major props to DE for putting a non binary character in their game as it's a group of people I do not see represented often.
@@kyaii that’s the point, because it is ridiculous to focus on “representation”. If you can’t enjoy playing Ember without identifying as female, you have a seriously stunted outlook on the world that will limit everything you think and do. You’ve obviously been taught that you can’t/shouldn’t enjoy something unless it has someone with the same race, skin color, religion, economic status, sexuality, gender, physical status as you. It’s sad that you have to live and view life through such a limiting lens. But hey, it’s your channel and thank you for putting out Warframe content. It would just be nice to not have wokeness infecting every aspect of life including the games we play. The same side that pushes inclusivity is the same side that would love to ban games with guns in them so be careful what you wish for.
I think I can understand some of your animosity towards the “wokeness,” for example the scooby doo reboot that idk somehow thought that diversity or whatever was all you needed to be a good show, or a few other attempts in media where they replaced quality writing and acting with an attempted representation of diversity or wokeness or whatever, but I really like how DE did this. It’s not a focus. You can play xaku and not know they’re non binary. Their abilities have nothing to do with their gender. It looks like a good frame (idk cause I haven’t farmed for it yet), and it just happens to be in their backstory that they’re non binary. And even though I’m a cis white male who has never had an issue with not seeing anyone like me in movies or games I enjoy, it’s a really important thing for people. I remember when the new little mermaid movie came out and I saw videos of kids’ faces lighting up because they saw a character they liked that looked like them. Even though I’ve never experienced it for myself, I don’t find it hard to imagine the kind of effect that seeing people that are like you in some way only portrayed in a certain way (like criminals or slaves) or not being portrayed at all, and the fact that that can happen without it taking away from the quality of the frame, the story, or any other elements is really cool, and that’s why I think your frustration is misplaced.
@@IXITheJewFroIXI I 1000% agree that DE does it right. My frustration was not that DE made a non-binary frame, but that kyaii said it was “really cool” which is a phrase he says a lot in his videos so I doubt he really meant anything by it. But, when I asked why the gender of a game puppet mattered or was “really cool”, as if on cue, he predictably mentioned “representation”. That line of thinking is symptomatic of a bigger problem plaguing the gaming, movie and comic book industries (as well as society at large).
On demonstration you risk to die a lot of time. You don t use brief respite on a shield gate build (?) You Need to recast terrify two or three times but enemies in the room still Attack you. Enemies with shield are not vulnerable.. Grasp of lock with low Power strenght make no sense. You can kill faster using 200% Power strenght and gaze ( shield and armor strip) without xata wishper.. for sure. Then you miss you can increase dodge chance with a different configuration. Xaku can have 95% chance to dodge if you use mods and heavy Attack. I think you don t understand this warframe. Probably Is better if you delete this video cause can really create confusion if people use your configuration
they* No risk of death, and no need for brief respite as you get all your shield gating from the augur mods. You do not need to recast Terrify for the same enemy as fully build molt augmented stacks give you a full strip combined with Corrosive Projection Grasp of Lohks damage scales with enemy level, power strength is unnecessary. While I agree that Gaze is also a fantastic ability, this was a focus on a more mobile Xaku build and not the absolute end all be all of Xaku builds. Why would I want to increase dodge chance? When 1 bullet on Steel Path can completely wipe shields its better to just build into constant shield gating which this build does with Terrify/Augur set bonus. I would argue I understand the frame better than you do. Your point on Grasp of Lohk is just plain wrong terrify is another level of crowd control so as your guns are shooting them, they are not shooting you. In terms of shields, yea Gaze does take them away but watch the video.. they are not an issue with this when paired with Terrify. On the topic of your other comment. Calling streamline useless again backs up my point of you do not understand modding. This is a build meant around shield gating with Teriffy which means you cast it A LOT. Try playing any frame and spamming a 45% efficiency Terrify even with r5 energize... it does not work. Your comment, in my opinion, could have brought up some valid points but faltered. You don't seem to really understand how to mod them.
@@kyaii grasp of lock scales on Power strenght too. If you put 200% Power strenght and use gaze you kill enemies faster faster and faster than your useless configuration, without using xata wishper.. You don t Need terrify. You don t Need efficiency for a shield gaze build cause xaku stop abilities countdown. I can easily use shield gate with no efficiency. I use xaku against 9999 enemies in steel Path and i can say your way Is completly wrong. I dont know, It s Just for fun.. But if a new player look at your video could think that your way Is good so in my opinion Is Better if you delete the video. Xaku Is so strong that you can do everything you want and he works good but you don t understand the right configuration. Heavy Attack set to Dodge more bullets, Sly vulpaphila make you unvulnerable at 95% , if a bullet hit you, you cast the vast untime to use shield gate. Zero problems of efficiency with energize r5. Than you choose to delete gaze and j accuse .. It s illogical. Xata wishper Is the ability you delete if you want to change something. In the demonstration enemies hit you a lot of time and you use terrify all the time. With gaze and j accuse this things don t happen. You insta kill all the room and nobody touch you. Your way to use xaku with this build make no sense. That s for.sure. i use xaku to cap level since day One. Try with energize r5 and then we can talk about that.

@@kyaii farming Kuva fortress survival to get harrow neuro. Oh boy rng on rotation c 20 mins
Please tell me you found a better build than this. This was a trash build
@@DaddyStovepipe2442I did try it for a bit. Thought it was okay but yes went back to standard Xaku for most of the time.
This guide made me buy xaku and his skin and craft nekros because it looks so fun
Dude u nuts?
@@abrarabid3558I also bought the skin before I got the silly skeleton and I do not regret that
Just wondering, gaze is good because with Xaku, you're already building for range and it armor strips the enemy it traps swell as enemies in a certain radius around it (12m base scales with range). Vast untime pauses it also, so why go with terrify when, it's on a duration and causes enemies to run away when you can have zones of basically permanent armor strip and not have to chase any enemies down? Even if energy is an issue go for the augment which can give the ability 105% additional strength and 45% additional efficiency.
Again not trying to say the build is bad i'm just curious about why go for terrify when gaze and the other abilites offered by the lost are already great in Xaku's kit
Just some other stuff i'm wondering why no flow as you said Xaku is energy hungry (replace augur message with it with good ability management you'll be fine). Also xata's whisper stacks on top of grasp of lohk so try so strength is also really good on him so why no strength?
All valid points you make! Terrify is mainly used because it has slightly wider range while also being good for shield gating. It is mainly used in non survival scenarios like exterminate where running through the mission fast is required and it does that better than Gaze. For survival purposes I actually do recommend Gaze though. Enemies running away is not a big deal since The Vast Untime slows enemies. This Xaku is energy hungry but if you keep the KPM up then you won't run out of energy. The low strength is counteracted by molt augmented which gives us another 60 and puts above the 138% strength needed to armor strip fully with Terrify.
Again all great points you make here! This was just my take on a "Gun Runner" Xaku and I appreciate the critiques.
Finally, my people. I've built my xaku with the mentality of using adaptation and health instead of shieldgating because i just don't run shieldgate builds at all. I ended up with Growing Power upping my str to 200%+. I've used a variety of non-maxed mods(some i'm too lazy to forma and max but some are required to not drain as much cuz they're corrupted mods). I went with Growing Power, Power Drift(only half, too lazy to forma again), Overextended R5, Stretch, Flow, Blind Rage R5, Adaptation(R8, lazy), Umbral intensify R9, Archon Continuinty(R8,lazy), Augur Secrets. For arcanes i went with arcane guardian and arcane energyze. But for shards.... i needed to put 1 red +10% str shard and 3 blue +150 health shards. This is because i haven't used Vitality so adaptation doesn't have WHAT to defend. The last shard can not be there or just be another +150 health. This build has about 30m radius strip on The Lost. Coupled with running Magus Anomaly(basically mag's pull but on operator) for CC enemies really never get outside of its range. But the duration of Vast Uptime is only around 35 seconds. Also energyze is needed here due to negative efficiency of 70%.
I love Xaku as a frame but he seems weak compared to wisp and zephyr. I have 4 forma on him and zero on wisp and zephyr and they feel so much stronger, not to mention how energy hungry he is. He also isn’t the best in group play but I could say the same for zephyr. I want to main him so bad but can’t seem to get into a groove with him.
Watch my Nourish video on him
I always had energy problemas with him and solutioned It with 3 archon shards with energy efficency and a good nourish
love your vids
A frame just for me😊 im glad there is representation in the game. That alone will make me wanna play the game and get good with Xaku
agreed :)

DE really added payday dodge build into warframe
Great video, there are way too few videos about Xaku. I am not sure I would call them non-binary, after all Xaku is made of parts from Three different Warframes (males and females). The lost are great abilities really, sure Gaze may be the star of the group because yea defense strip is too good. But Accuse is a great CC scaling with range and Deny is awesome scaling directly with Grasp of Lohk (the number of stolen weapons). On my Xaku set up I usually replace Xata's Whisper. I like to play Xaku very mobile I only put down my Gazes fields when I need to deal with a beefier target, Grasp of Lokhs is usually more than enough to deal with the majority of ads (there are 15 of them after all)
Thank you! Xaku is confirmed as non-binary by DE and the representation is nice so I thought I would mention it! Replacing Xatas whisper is always good but I thought I would try something different with this Terrify approach. Thank you for the comment!
Activated Windows first before recording screen XD
Cant lie, i had to sub after watching this
Appreciate it bro
thank you!
Vinalla xaku is fine I personally just built him around power strength and range use his gaze for a %100 armor strip but if you got the modes but terrify xaku is good to with less effort on power strength
Hi Kyaii, your vids are great :D
hey bro! your support means alot to me :)
Weird setup on your end, the build i currently use is 200+ on duration and range and 192% on strength for armor strip 55 efficiency but that doesnt bother me since i only spam 1 ability which is the 4, since every skill is paused all i need to do is either collect stuff or just move around excelus cause some can proc fire that will kill you un notice, but i replaced xatu whisper with harrow chains, so if i need shield instantly i use throw chains so everything else can focus on strength or range
Just to add on with or without the strip armor they die too fast before i can even cast an armor strip, my build is just thst annoyingly that good, too bad i forgot xatu whisper cant make auto headshots
Using terrify and 55 efficiency will drain ridiculously fast. For base Xaku that could work
I died at New Quest: The Waverider
I ain't doing that shit
HINT HINT none of Xakus abilities get rid of the invisibility from Huras Kubrows so you can be passively invisible while shredding everything in sight. Kinda busted if you ask me…
The what now?
@@VitchAndVorty Huras kubrows have a mod called stalk that will turn you invisible if there’s an enemy within 30m, you lose the invisibility of you attack usually but xaku’s 2 doesn’t count as attacking you you can have passive invisibility while you recast the vast untime and terrify
@@noggin8216 That's neat.
Yeh he’s pretty good
He really is, until you realize you have to make half your build abt shield gating or other kinds of damage ignore because 75% evasion, hell 95% evasion, just don't cut it
Xaku is nonbinary
@@sentient5765 no one cares
@@sentient5765 it's not even alive
no you dont
u can health tank ya dummy shield gating isnt the only option
Dang i was hoping they would stop turning Xaku into a stupid skeleton with his ability, at least for this skin. Its the only reason he's Helminth Fodder imo
The skeleton on this skin looks really good IMO
@@kyaii I mean it looks better than original. but still youre running around like you're jonesing for a trick or treat and the skin you bought GONE during his otherwise most spectacular looking ability
Pillage instead of terrify?
Add red shards and push duration to over 40s
With every duration mod (including ones that have two effects like Niras Hatred) with two red shards gets you over 60 seconds for vast untime. When combined with Inner Might it allows for a free ability cast every 60 seconds. So essentially it removes all energy problems instantly.
How did he get terrified on it Xaku
Helminth
@@kyaii what????
@@mr.goodday3586 The Helminth system. If you don't know what that is, play more, it's a fairly advanced mechanic.
His third ability is better than terrify if you are staying in one area
Yup, but this is not a stationary build
I thought of this build before ONLY because Xaku is a skeleton. Also, if you do have creeping terrify, and vast untime on an enemy, wouldn't that make enemies slowed to 100%?
The slows are multiplicative not additive so it would be close, but not exactly 100%
Does Growing power aura mod proc when you have active both nourish and lohk?
Not sure! Test it yourself if you can
wut
I want to get him but I cant do hugh level deimos quests
My Xaku swap the Xata Whisper with Nourish. If you know you know
Certainly seems good although the dodge chance makes it so proccing the viral wave is less likely.
@@kyaii although, the dodge chance is quite high, having enemies got proc when you get damaged kinda like Eye for an Eye, also the energy multiplier you can get with it so i don't rely to much on energize.
Funny enough, i also use adaptation mods so my Xaku literally invincible lmao
Im going to try this ! I suscribe 💕✌🏻
Warframe content creator who is non binary positive? Be still my heart ❤️
What ability is that when the operator pulls enemies when transferring??
Its an operator arcane called Magus Anomaly. Really really good!
Is the build still good without molt augmented?
No, it needs it to hit full strip
How did you exit the warframe
If you press 5 and nothing happens, it's a spoiler
Are you new to the game, how come you keep saying you recently acquired them
If you count new as returning in August of this year then yea maybe I am! Although you can also probably assume that I have abit more knowledge on the game because of my videos!
Is this still worth makin ? Just Got xaku not gonna make him forma 8 u know 😂😂😂
Check my more recent Xaku video, it's better.
Not being a nob or trying to ruin the video cery well presented im a xaku main ran it since it came out made hella builds for him that build you have physical dosnt and wont work for steel path… you need duration and u need strength again good build but you need more than 84% strength and dont need nekros ability for steel path
Confusing comment. Xaku doesn't need duration because Vast Untime pauses all ability timers and you'll be recasting it alot since it weakens enemies to void damage, which his turrets do. Strength at 84% is subset by molt augmented which brings us above the 138% needed to full strip with terrify. Having low strength doesn't matter since the guns damage scales off of enemy level so with a full strip, you will 1 shot them anyways.
@@kyaii fairs ye but with a build i have and can take 300-999 lvl enemies down in seconds i guess depending on how u play and what u play xaku with asin defense/ survival u need more duration as actually cast his 4th will cost every 20secs 🤷🏻♂️
@@cammycarse2537 If your killing things then only needing to cast 1 ability every 20 seconds won't be an issue.
Whats the point in terrify when you have gaze??
I explain in the video. Gaze is the only version of The lost that Xaku uses. Terrify needs less power strength for full strip, isn't stationary, and has more range while allowing you to keep xatas whisper which is great with this build.
And Terrify has the added bonus of being in theme with the spooky scary skeleton frame
How bout watch the fucken video?
@@kyaii I will say, KnightmareFrame came up with this build and I have been using it for awhile now. This is also one of my favorite builds and as the comment below you said, it is also in theme of the spooky scary skeleton. It’s a perfect xaku build. 10/10 I just came here to see a different perspective and build style, not many of the mods are different, which is what I was expecting but I like to see what different people run. Only recently discovered your channel popping up in my recommended section. 10/10 personality 10/10 videos 10/10 quality👍🏻👌🏻🤌🏻
@@dragongod666sevagoth3 don’t have time
No. Gaze strip shield too. If you go on void on mot you prefer gaze.. terrify Is good for sure, but with j'accuse you increase your chance to survive and gaze strip armor and shield. Put terrify only to strip greneer armor and slow enemies make no sense.
Another things. I play xaku with energize r5 and 45% efficiency without any problems of Energy. So streamline Is useless and blind rage give you enough strenght to put overextended and have 200 % Power strenght.
This video, in my opinion, has a wrong view of xaku. You don t really understand how to use and mod him.
Xaku or Protea ?
Protea every day
for what
be pefific
Xatas doesn't buff guns? Dafuq that's why my build is trash
Xatas buffs actually weapons but not the ones from Grasp Of Lohk for whatever reason
i have a 7 forma xaku and is a monster it kills everything that is within his range
Awesome video! You got a sub from me
not good build, 15 guns, no energy. in SP you just using your primary to kill. with proper build you can sit semi afk for hours in SP.
If you use cunning drift you get 16 which I explain 15 minutes in. Energy economy is fine if you use Zenurik or R5 Arcane Energize. Also not an AFK build at just meant to be some fun on this frame.
Adore that you make a point of referring to Xaku by their correct pronouns, instant sub from me
representation is important
@@kyaii damn right!
People that don't main xaku don't know how shit he is rn they nerfed his fire rate for grasp of lohk u killed those things slow af compared to b4 his tennogen skin update came
*they
Personally I find Xaku to still be in a fantastic place. Remember not every enemy is a corrupted heavy gunner and while the lohk guns are shooting things, so are you.
@@kyaii he's alright just not as op as b4 I'd literally just stand in one place in steel path and he does all the work now he dies because the guns don't shoot as fast just sucks they did that and never mentioned it I guess because not many people use him

@@kyaii wisp's sex is female, xaku is fused with parts of multiple soldiers, both male and female. I don't understand your point here. Xaku is androgynous, stop pushing woke shit in the game please. This is both annoying and dissapointing. Great video btw! keep it up.
@@whoiscasi de has literally said xaku is neither he or she
To much you need to do, to actually kill 120 lvl mobs, i can just grab fulmin, or any other gun, or melee weapon and kill them faster. Very weak warframe.
You think Xaku is weak? Your insane bro
Ehhh you can kill enemies of any level pal (circuit lvl 2k+ in steel path are a joke with xaku) ..... seems you are just too stupid to understand how the frame (or warframe in general) works .

also, a pedophile? like all the Christian pastors? sure, I'm 17 🤡
Why does something like the gender of the frame make it “really cool”? Guess we need a polyamorous asian wheelchair bound frame for even more “really cool” inclusivity. 😂
Because inclusiveness matters? Major props to DE for putting a non binary character in their game as it's a group of people I do not see represented often.
@@kyaii that’s the point, because it is ridiculous to focus on “representation”. If you can’t enjoy playing Ember without identifying as female, you have a seriously stunted outlook on the world that will limit everything you think and do. You’ve obviously been taught that you can’t/shouldn’t enjoy something unless it has someone with the same race, skin color, religion, economic status, sexuality, gender, physical status as you. It’s sad that you have to live and view life through such a limiting lens. But hey, it’s your channel and thank you for putting out Warframe content. It would just be nice to not have wokeness infecting every aspect of life including the games we play. The same side that pushes inclusivity is the same side that would love to ban games with guns in them so be careful what you wish for.
I think I can understand some of your animosity towards the “wokeness,” for example the scooby doo reboot that idk somehow thought that diversity or whatever was all you needed to be a good show, or a few other attempts in media where they replaced quality writing and acting with an attempted representation of diversity or wokeness or whatever, but I really like how DE did this. It’s not a focus. You can play xaku and not know they’re non binary. Their abilities have nothing to do with their gender. It looks like a good frame (idk cause I haven’t farmed for it yet), and it just happens to be in their backstory that they’re non binary. And even though I’m a cis white male who has never had an issue with not seeing anyone like me in movies or games I enjoy, it’s a really important thing for people. I remember when the new little mermaid movie came out and I saw videos of kids’ faces lighting up because they saw a character they liked that looked like them. Even though I’ve never experienced it for myself, I don’t find it hard to imagine the kind of effect that seeing people that are like you in some way only portrayed in a certain way (like criminals or slaves) or not being portrayed at all, and the fact that that can happen without it taking away from the quality of the frame, the story, or any other elements is really cool, and that’s why I think your frustration is misplaced.
@@IXITheJewFroIXI I 1000% agree that DE does it right. My frustration was not that DE made a non-binary frame, but that kyaii said it was “really cool” which is a phrase he says a lot in his videos so I doubt he really meant anything by it. But, when I asked why the gender of a game puppet mattered or was “really cool”, as if on cue, he predictably mentioned “representation”. That line of thinking is symptomatic of a bigger problem plaguing the gaming, movie and comic book industries (as well as society at large).
On demonstration you risk to die a lot of time.
You don t use brief respite on a shield gate build (?)
You Need to recast terrify two or three times but enemies in the room still Attack you. Enemies with shield are not vulnerable..
Grasp of lock with low Power strenght make no sense.
You can kill faster using 200% Power strenght and gaze ( shield and armor strip) without xata wishper.. for sure.
Then you miss you can increase dodge chance with a different configuration. Xaku can have 95% chance to dodge if you use mods and heavy Attack.
I think you don t understand this warframe.
Probably Is better if you delete this video cause can really create confusion if people use your configuration
they*
No risk of death, and no need for brief respite as you get all your shield gating from the augur mods.
You do not need to recast Terrify for the same enemy as fully build molt augmented stacks give you a full strip combined with Corrosive Projection
Grasp of Lohks damage scales with enemy level, power strength is unnecessary.
While I agree that Gaze is also a fantastic ability, this was a focus on a more mobile Xaku build and not the absolute end all be all of Xaku builds.
Why would I want to increase dodge chance? When 1 bullet on Steel Path can completely wipe shields its better to just build into constant shield gating which this build does with Terrify/Augur set bonus.
I would argue I understand the frame better than you do. Your point on Grasp of Lohk is just plain wrong terrify is another level of crowd control so as your guns are shooting them, they are not shooting you. In terms of shields, yea Gaze does take them away but watch the video.. they are not an issue with this when paired with Terrify. On the topic of your other comment. Calling streamline useless again backs up my point of you do not understand modding. This is a build meant around shield gating with Teriffy which means you cast it A LOT. Try playing any frame and spamming a 45% efficiency Terrify even with r5 energize... it does not work.
Your comment, in my opinion, could have brought up some valid points but faltered. You don't seem to really understand how to mod them.
@@kyaii grasp of lock scales on Power strenght too. If you put 200% Power strenght and use gaze you kill enemies faster faster and faster than your useless configuration, without using xata wishper.. You don t Need terrify. You don t Need efficiency for a shield gaze build cause xaku stop abilities countdown. I can easily use shield gate with no efficiency. I use xaku against 9999 enemies in steel Path and i can say your way Is completly wrong. I dont know, It s Just for fun..
But if a new player look at your video could think that your way Is good so in my opinion Is Better if you delete the video.
Xaku Is so strong that you can do everything you want and he works good but you don t understand the right configuration.
Heavy Attack set to Dodge more bullets, Sly vulpaphila make you unvulnerable at 95% , if a bullet hit you, you cast the vast untime to use shield gate. Zero problems of efficiency with energize r5.
Than you choose to delete gaze and j accuse .. It s illogical. Xata wishper Is the ability you delete if you want to change something.
In the demonstration enemies hit you a lot of time and you use terrify all the time. With gaze and j accuse this things don t happen. You insta kill all the room and nobody touch you.
Your way to use xaku with this build make no sense. That s for.sure. i use xaku to cap level since day One.
Try with energize r5 and then we can talk about that.
I aint even gonna outline all the issues with your comment and how you just plain do not understand how many systems work in the game
