[@lanx3737]

just pointing something out mid-watch, augur mods of any kind don't have incredible stat increases, for example, 30% range isn't all that much compared to stretch or overextended, but the passive is incredibly good for survivability in higher end content. with augur mods of any kind, when your shield breaks, you can use an ability to refresh it quickly during the moment of time you are immune. it's very helpful, and even with one augur mod on your warframe, the augur passive functions somewhat well, but you can choose to run an augur weapon mod to boost the passive as well.

[@Sighuh]

This is just bad advice. The Augur set bonus by itself is useless, and can more often than not lead to you dying more than you would without them. The shields gained after the cast can interrupt your shield gate, leaving you with less i-frames to recover. Augur mods should only be used to shield gate when paired with Catalyzing Shields and very often Brief Respite for a consistent 1.33s of i-frames.

[@enseleno]

​@@Sighuh Sometimes augur mods can fully replenish shields themselves with catalyzing shields. Also, to OP, since range is distance (metres) augur reach unlike other mods in the augur set can actually make significant difference.

[@Sighuh]

@@enseleno Do you not know how to read, or just love paraphrasing? @‘ing me to tell me what I already said, glaze

[@enseleno]

@@Sighuh right

[@crushavg]

​@@Sighuh This is true for newer players who are less experienced with shield gating in endurance content. When you get more comfortable with endgame, a partial gate is fine a lot of the time and you can drop Catalyzing Shields for a better mod.

[@hockeystar39]

Been excited for this series to finally drop! Love the community aspect of it and really excited to try these out in some version!

[@kishan20101]

use Shade as your companion. 100% uptime on invisibility. Preparation in the exilus slot solves the starting energy issue

[@viol3nt123]

There is a Kubrow that offers that as well, I just prefer the Kubrow but I think they both do the same thing. When there is an enemy close enough then you get invisibility if you don't use your weapons. It works really nice on frames that use abilities for damage as they don't need weapons.

[@ryoougi9088]

why use shade when u have huras lmao, ppl just sleeping on retriever mod these days

[@Mr.SoulMusical]

​@@ryoougi9088 It's cause shade is being cycled through the market right now for cheap and is the most accessible

[@KillerWolf1324]

You could also just use cyt09s helminth ability

[@-CrySa-]

The fun thing about xaku is that the damage of your guns scales with enemy level linearly, but the enemy health scaling slows down after around level 70, which means after that point the higher the enemy levels are the faster your guns kill them.

[@jacobchristian1849]

The coolest thing is getting in YT and seeing your first warframe video. I can not tell you how awesome it is to see your first time trying out the game, to now acclaiming it as one of the best! I’ve always thought warframe is something special, and seeing more and more ppl realize it, is so heartwarming!

[@jeremyschmidt-he4nq]

So glad you're doing Will it Build Warframe edition! I learned a lot on how to properly play Xaku from this! Can't wait for the next one!

[@michelchaman6495]

As someone who survives off ur d2 builds i'm very excited for these.

[@argumentativetype3218]

I adore this type of content. Many of the moat popular buildcrafters for warframe end up using a bunch of supper end game mods to make a subpar build and they catch a lot of grief for it. Im glad someone is finally making builds for those just entering steel path with mods they'd have access to. It warms this old veteran's heart!

[@johnsonmartin1310]

Hey! there is a really interesting Xaku build I have been using that makes him twice as powerful as the build shown. Since he is not a weapons platform but instead a lazy caster frame, I would suggest swapping corrosive projection for Comabt Discipline and subsuming Nourish over his 1st ability, since his 1st is only useful for gun damage (which this build wont necessarily be prioritizing because his turrets would be doing crazy damage for us. How this interaction works is that with nourish, when you lose HP per kill with combat discipline you spread viral procs to enemies which increases the kill time exponentially. Additionally, if you use the Huras Kubrow or Shade (Huras kubrow is much better due to the pet rework) then you will be perma invis. To summarize, you will be killing much faster, be permanently invisible which basically means invulnerability, apply viral to your weapons with nourish and get more energy (equip a purple shard or equilibrium for the best effect). If you or anyone else is interested in the build, please reply and I will send it over!

[@AquaLady153]

interested! Thanks for explaining

[@Flair86_]

IMO it’s better to run corrosive projection with at least 170 str for full armor strip on gaze.

[@johnsonmartin1310]

@@Flair86_ your going to be running descently high str on xaku with this build regardless, which will still let u full strip with his 3

[@LazyFramePrime]

Yeah that initial build was stacked with too much efficiency at the cost of range/str which is why the damage was kind of meh in beginning. Xaku is not a spam heavy frame unless you subsume something else to spam or are spamming your 4 to break boxes thats why a neg efficiency build is fine

[@Biazyn]

I gotta say this is really cool stuff. Can't wait for your video on Warframe 1999 😊

[@K-dis_Boher]

One really underrated feature of Xata's Whisper is the fact that void status makes enemies shoot themselves making survival a bit better; so if you use a fast firing weapon with chaining like torid, or wide AOE with punch through like ignis, that means you can easily spread void status to tons of enemies and make them essentially even more harmless Add on Accuse making extra crowd control and distraction, and it helps survivability even more; ESPECIALLY when you Accuse eximuses and can abuse their abilities

[@gabrielfowler4963]

This is amazing seeing you already using decent builds but I’ll say xaku can do way more I hope to see you revisit this with a better build so you can see the growing room it has.

[@lolxd99]

If you wanna take xaku to SP you really just need to crank range to max, enough strength to armor strip 100% (can top off with augmented), rest to duration and tank your effic Also xaku's kit is really good so no helminth needed unless you really want like nourish for energy, but otherwise you're good

[@JesterMotley]

Just seeing this.... AWESOME! Stoked! Thanks for doing this!

Finally been waiting for this series in Warframe!!

[@dee8985]

yooo, so good to see you back with warframe vids

[@ChrisOnevia]

Im very much excited about this series!

[@KentuckyBullrat32]

Try Lavos with roar and his passive augment for guaranteed status procs. I like gas for single target weapons (I use the dera Incarnon a lot with this) or heat on aoe/ spray weapons. ALWAYS USE ELEMENTALIST MODS on this build, I also use primed continuity for extra roar uptime and duration also increases status duration on lavos so your gas clouds last 55% longer. I can go into more detail if you want

[@Thorks23]

Ive not finished the video, but for the guns to be effective in SP you really want Gaze to fully armor strip, so you want more strength. Archon shards fir more strength help with this a lot since you typically also wanna build xaku with max range

[@myfriendscallmejojo]

Watching magics try to make builds that we all already have is funny

[@Sensei_Amadeus]

This is what we've been waiting for.

[@XCanG]

I have a ton of builds that I make over the years (I play since 2014), although some of them I didn't touch for several years I can share some of them. For some frames like Chroma I even has 8 builds (I built 2 primed frames).

[@krakengaming4947]

Great video mactics keep it up bro👍🏻👍🏻

[@MrBodoFraggins]

Will it Build WARFRAME!?!?!?!?! I'm in. So excited for this.

[@badger7857]

Get rid of fleeting expertise and add blind rage. You'll benefit more from the augur mod having low efficiency and you'll gain 100% armour strip on Gaze. Then use 2 yellow shards for energy orb effectiveness and you'll never have an energy problem. Especially if your focus is zenurik.

[@samcrouch2429]

Favorite content right here, the goat

[@jfahr861]

Will it Build for D2 Remember that 10 second Titan build with Doom Fang and Ruinous. Oh yeah Is great for clearing adds in a focused area. Void Titan ofc Rally barricade, doesn't really matter tho Shield throw, Scatter Grenade or Suppressor Aspects: Bastion Offensive Bulwark Fragments: Vigilance, Persistence, Expulsion, Reprisal Helmet:Resil, Harmonic Siphon, Special Finder, Power Preservation Gloves: Strength, Heavy Handed, Mele Kickstart, Fastball Chest: Resil, Charged Up, Damage resist of your choice Legs:Resil, Void Surge, Recuperation, Void Holster Mark:Resil, Powerful Attraction, Outreach, Outreach Guns: -primary, you pick -special, Ruinous Effigy heavy, you pick I use Falling Guillotine then swap to hammerhead Play style: get a kill with Ruinous Effigy, grap ball, hold block with ball, use block and make enemies disabled, kill enemies with smash when you get to one. Repeat till super. Super: shield throw at a big group, kill with light attack, repeat. You have 2 shield throws. Hope you enjoy! Toonces007#6877 This is my first build that I brought to public and I would love to bring more, please comment if there is a way to optimize this build or if you want to see my other ones!

[@Sandro_de_Vega]

Arcane energize isnt optional. This is your main source of energy if you dont use Grendel ability. You need source of energy on this build. So you need grendels ability or arcane energize. Bc energy well isnt fast enough.(without grendels skill). No idea why someone would use sentiens wrath on this build. Cast speed is very good on this build bc every time when you cast 4, during casting time, you lost grip on rest of cooldowns. So you wanna cast ult very fast to hold those timers up. But i would go with one tau shard. Yes, so ditch out this sahasa. You dont need it if you have nourish. Just cast enegy well, cats nourish. Or drop energy pod to kick start this setup.

[@stlsaint1]

Man wtf this popped on my feed after I stopped watching and destiny. And your first is one of my mains. Nice.

[@Vectoris2]

I would say drop fleeting expertise and run blind rage instead. You're losing a ton of efficiency, but the strength payoff is way better. Nourish+grimoire w/ tome mod for energy regen, and i personally use umbral intensify instead of intensify. Add on cunning drift for more range. +Molt efficiency and Molt augmented for arcanes. +2 Amber shards for cast speed and 3 red shards for power strength. Any half-decent primary is fine tbh. Companion i run is nautilus prime w/ grouping mod.

[@ghostofdestiny3179]

I just got this character the problem is i dont have overextended or blind rage i really need those mods

ok fine. ill play warframe

[@mizuoh721]

so after going all the way to lr4 thanks to viewers, you then get your builds from viewers? can you do anything yourself? i can tell your from destiny

[@benaiahheise1325]

Ngl, this build is struggling in normal content. 3 formas and better mod selection like equilibrium and blind rage will go a long way. SP will be trivial with that build as that’s what I use along with either a shade or huras kubrow if u want the extra loot

[@KillerWolf1324]

Doesn't viral decrease armor?!

[@PPingas]

Corrosive is the element that decreases armor, viral increases damage done to health

[@ozvespinoza3655]

Hi guys i need a gaming advice, i want to comeback to this Game but i havent play seriously since maybe 2016 and only comeback for a couple of months, las time 2 years ago Every time i download the Game i get so overwheed and Lost of where i was and what should i do

[@AnymMusic]

I assume that you then quit around Plains Of Eidolon? Cause if so, I'd say work your way to and do Fortuna (Venus open world), Cambion Drift (Deimos open world), and see what you need for The New War quest. That should get you a long way there.

Forget gaze... useless and stationary... use Nekros's Terrify and be 300% more efficient. This dude (who submited the build) must be a starter player or a newby to recommend Gaze over Terrify in 2024........

[@Orion_44]

If you are doing endless missions, Gaze is 100% better than Terrify as you can choose another helminth (such as roar or nourish) and still get the benefit of armor strip, and the stationary part doesn't matter. You must be a new meta slave, as you seem to only care about things in the game that are efficient or powerful, and you don't understand that some people don't think like that. Some people like build variety, and not using the same type of armor strip on every single frame

[@egxxnn]

@@Orion_44 well, the series is about builds "building"... this one does simply does NOT build. struggles even in non SP content. in or out of the meta, its objectively a bad build. why struggle the way you would struggle in LVL cap against lvl 60 enemies? when you can just get a build that BUILDS instead. if the person who made it is happy playing like that, thats cool. but its a bad build and definetely does not work.

[@Orion_44]

@@egxxnn Tbh, I saw their comment before I watched the video. I can't believe they use Xaku at (including their archon shard setup) neutral strength, I've never done below 160% for Xaku and have it be effective in SP. The gameplay by Mac shows it really isn't good either. I agree about it being a bad build, but Gaze isn't the reason why it's bad

[@HowzitQc]

@@egxxnn Keep in mind that Mac comes from D2, and he must have a good portion of his twitch viewers who started warframe because of him. So yes, they're new, let them discover the game.

[@egxxnn]

@@Orion_44 yeah absolutely, its bad in general, not because of gaze, i do use gaze in my xaku and i have perma 100% armor strip, so yeah, gaze is a good skill, and it doesnt make the enemies alter their behaviour like terrify, thats why i prefer it

[@kaioken1632]

no hate but this build looks awful. like why are you running 60% efficiency AND energize? run equilibrium instead of fleeting expertise and then you’re getting more duration. do NOT trust overframe bro
