Warframe: Xaku got a Prime... so I BROKE it!

No

[@richardmontalvo9627]

​@@jesusgaming6538 plat for what?

[@greatkingbusa1542]

I’ll going after him tomorrow. Ignore them about nourish. I was thinking what if you used breach surge(which won’t break invisibility) like I did on Nekros combine that with the work around on archon stretch by putting coolant leak on shade and then put electric and viral on the companion’s weapon to help with energy. Then you would have the armor stripping, multiplicative damage of breach surge with some viral.

[@iFINNIX]

If I had a nickel for every time I saw a KZbinr video that said BROKEN I could quit my job

The broken jokes about Xaku are because they are “the broken warframe” so its mostly just a play on words

[@iFINNIX]

@ tho it can be a play on words it’s like 85% of warframe videos

As much as I like the ability to not be skeleton, it needs some better visual indicator to replace being a skeleton. It's now super easy to lose track of when Vast Untime runs out.

That's true. Maybe a bigger countdown in the corner of the screen near the end of the duration ;)

[@BastetMusic]

This was the first Prime Access that I actually bought because I really wanna support DE and, ngl, Xaku's a LOT more fun than I was expecting. A little confusing, but Xaku Prime is going in my main Frame list

[@samtaylor8612]

Okay I love this build and works really well it is now my Config 1, I would suggest however swapping out Nourish for Null Star with Neutron Star instead of his 3 and Corrosive Projection for Armour Reduction. Still using shade. You will need 2 Tau blues for energy and Energize cause it can get a little spammy but after over an hour testing in SP it works well and is just stupidly broken with Maduri for 40% more strength and 50% most cast speed. The full build being... same shards as in the video, Corrosive Projection for Armour reduction, Power Drift, Transient Fortitude, Blind Rage, Umbral Intensify, the 2 Tau Reds, Molt Augmented and Sling Strength (Optional) for at full stack 383% strength, Overextended and Stretch for 235% Range ( Can be swapped for Equilibium if energy becomes an issue, hasn't yet in my testing though ), Primed Continuity for 123% Duration, Archon Vitality for the double heat application from Null Star and more Health if your running a ranked up one, Neutron Star Augment and Arcane Energize with the 2 Tau Blues for Energy. Makes Xaku go just a little Beyond BROKEN imo.

I think if you want Xaku to go invisible and inflict Viral status on enemies without needing to be attacked or attack them, using Wyrd Scythes to replace Nourish would be a better option. This way, it would slow down enemies and apply the Viral status to them as well.

[@teddycuddleheart]

Just spent 30+ mins in the 180-200+ lvl steelpath conjuction survival with this Xaku build(Albeit minor tweeks)and I can say it for sure works. The highest I got to was about 217 or so enemies and could have easily kept going but I wanted to test Trumna Prime too and bailed lol. It may seem like Invis+Rolling guard+the vast untime is stupid when vast gives a 75% dodge chance but you have to understand that when it comes to abilities like that, DE usually makes sure that 25% to get hit is still pretty often because itd be a bit unfair otherwise. You can go without the invis because I have a base Xaku built without it but the invis is a very fun and easy tech to use. Rolling guard is mainly going to help with any D.O.T that gets procced on you. Infact, during my 30+ min run I got killed one time by an arsenic eximus playing like a dummy and the fire killed me near instantly because my rolling guard was on cooldown. You can just avoid stuff like that yes, but there are situations in which youll get hit no matter what and need a quick out to survive. I also highly suggest running an unupgraded combat discpline because I tried a maxed one with Med-ray and died instantly. Using an unupgraded one with Medi-ray felt so much better, had no issues with surviving at all. The mod I suggest switching out for Medi-ray would be the mod that gives shield recharge speed and reduces delay since you wont be seen often with invis, Shade should be fine and if it does die itll revive near instantly if you have primed regen with momentus bond active. Finally regarding Nourish, I know it sucks to have to use it on alot of builds but fellow players need to understand that its not content creators fault for using it so much. The issue is how bad the energy economy is in the game and Nourish just negates that issue completely. Sure you can make sure combination that can also get the same results, but why do that when you can just slap on Nourish and save space for other issues in the build that need solving. It sucks that this is how things are but until they fix the energy economy Nourish is here to stay. Overall I think this build is wonderful and just needs a slight bit of tweaking to make it super fun to use.

[@y00rek]

Hi, Wondering what are the other tweaks or ideas you mentiion to make the build better? Other than medi-ray on companion?

[@MHBlacky_ENG]

Uh this is a nice story. Wish you much fun with them :D

[@hoggy077]

Something to note that was glossed over with Xaku's 3rd & Nourish: - Xaku's 3rd can have each sub-ability active simultaneously (so you can use Accuse & Gaze at the same time). - Nourish gives 𝗔𝗟𝗟 allies the viral pulse on damage effect. This includes the shade clones (as mentioned in the video) but also includes the allies gained by using Accuse, allies which are considered neutral, meaning you or another enemy can attack them to cause a viral pulse as a way to do a more wide spread viral proc (the pulse can also hit another Accused, causing them to let out a pulse in a chain reaction)

[@MHBlacky_ENG]

Ooooh this is brilliant! :O Thank you so much for mentioniong it :D

[@adamin97]

There is also fun build with pacify and provoke from equinox. You speed up enemies and make them fight for You with Xaku's 3rd ability and since You can strip enemies they attack they could outlive other enemies. Fun fact! Most Amalgam enemies can't hack consoles on interception so if You leave ONLY amalgam usnits until enemy cap You can do interception on Archon hunt or random Gass city intercepion fissure without a problem. (Yes i do know You'll need reactant but it can be farmed quickly since corrupted portals spawn enemies constantly regardles or amalgam cap) Have a nice day!

[@cjlewis4938]

my favorite thing for interception used to be max str and range nova. just use slow the whole time, you only have to kill the enemies when they touch the panel, and anyone else moves so slow it takes a good long while for them to get on the panel

I don't think you need combat discipline because shade clones will get shot and release the viral pulses and their guns will deal viral damage if you cast nourish after they're spawned.

my advice to people watching.......use huras kubrow instead, get the stance for it called Elusive posture from cetus and instead of nourish u can use roar(dps increase), resonator(even more survivability), Ensnare (helps with acolytes). Whilst there are others u can use, they seem like the best to use in my opinion

[@EvantusLizardo]

I don't have kuras kubrow yet, but if the companion doesn't break its invisible if attacking then you can use equip it with Hunter recovery which fixed the problem with hp lost aura and also you can equip your pet with armor strip bond mods. which works great (in theory since i don't have that companion yet). You should try to cook some idea around it, in the same case use 5 purple archon shards if you wanna be spoky damage buff on ability damage and equip your pet with electric claw. Hope you can find some idea about ability maxing. And last note: feed your Caliban to Helmith is also a good cheap replacement for damage buffing but come at a cost.

[@EvantusLizardo]

Also: warframe count all damage vulnebility ability value as multiplicative so, for instant if you put a lot of debuff instead of buffing yourself, you can deal a viral bonus damage on enemies without trying to viral and it works on bosses, for a very short time.

Eh... Grasp doesn't scale that well with strength. I tested it plenty when I had a 200% strength invigoration, and the difference between 165% and 365% strength was like...25% more damage? You really only need enough to get the full strip with Molt Augmented, if you even care about it these days. Don't get me wrong, when you get those big fat Circuit strength buffs, you see a difference. Especially since the enemy levels go up so quickly. But for normal play? Max that range. The extra 15% is an extra gun (almost 2 guns. With the 1999 buff of 10% more range I get to 17 guns.) I have a no helminth build I use with vampire, a breach surge build that is pretty good, and a golden instinct build because Xaku is pretty fast and can still kill just fine when hunting down all the tile-set secrets or farming rare crates.

most likely that the damage increase from strength outweighed the 1 extra gun. ya know (just pulling numbers out of my ass here) but if you add 100 damage to 1000 damage for 15 guns you've added 1500 damage, meanwhile adding one gun would only add 1000 more. many things get diminishing returns, basically too much of one thing start to not be as beneficial especially in cases where it means you neglect something else, and in the case with damage numbers in games, its usually better to have your damage sources spread instead all in one. the same reason you don't slap every single + damage mod on your guns. because its better have 1 damage, 1 crit dam/chance, 1 or a couple status, other random stuff

[@DeathMyst]

Do you really need the invisibility on top of the 75% evasiveness, just wondering bc I’ve never played this warframe before?

[@vladgabrielmatei9128]

Overkill is the name of the game for endgame(-ish) warframe. If you can fit it on it might not be a bad idea to have it

[@FXGuruTV]

Considering Xaku is a very liked Frame for steel path for his nearly infinite scale ceiling, up there at the top most enemies will one shot you if you don't AT LEAST shield gate. So even 75% evasiveness will leave you at a 25% chance to just get dropped like a wet sack of potatoes. Invisiblity is the best kind of invulnerability because when they can't see you, they can't shoot you.

[@miru_0098]

yes, the 75% isnt as good as it sounds, even in sp lvl 200 you die quickly if you rely on that, also instead of invisbility its rather good to use a shield gate because of the 75%

[@MHBlacky_ENG]

I've played Xaku both with and without invisibility and when you like Shield Gating, then going without invis is definitely viable. But I gotta say with Shade they are noticably more chill to play ;)

Dude you got combat discipline. And you say there's nothing to put for arcanes... Arcane Avenger. Your guns now crit. You're welcome. Also why are everyone still using Rolling Guard. It's so useless. Hop into operator and your frame won't take the damage. Mod heal onto your operator on return and spam the button.. your frame is now invulnerable.

[@ShizzuVT]

because people can mod how they want? 🤯

[@naerolf09]

isnt cunning drift way better because you get more guns the more range you have so why would you go for 15% strength when you could get another gun?

[@cjlewis4938]

I don't have the math, but it could be because of diminshing returns. just depends on how much damage is added for the strength in comparison to the damage of one extra gun. ex. if each gun does 1000 damage for 15 guns. adding one gun adds 1000 more damage, but increasing the damage by only 100, will increase the total by 1500. So @LolSho0orTs is just being an ass for no reason. he was being a dick in other comments too, just a troll i assume

Wouldn't Huras Kubrow be better because you can attach loot mods?

Nourish + rank zero Combat Discipline, there are other builds out there LOL

[@zephryus2001]

Okay and? It’s a decent build. It’s common because it’s good, and in this case it’s the only reliable way to viral prime if you are relying on shade for survivability, which is necessary as it’s a massive damage increase since you are armor stripping

If dmg is the issue, 3 augment. Excal hits dmg cap. Survivability? Get good with builds. If you just find him mid af? Same. He's generic john warframe for a reason.

There is a arcane that can boost warframes strength and duration if needed it will be molt augmented and molt efficiency they can be farmed at zariman as much of a pain as it is it well worth it getting them maxed

Arcane Ice Storm, yes. Unfortunately this doesn't work with this build because it triggers on enemy frozen and this only works if YOU freeze them. Companions don't trigger it :/

[@Skelly-Gaming869]

I'm not talking about ice storm I meant the strength arcane is Molt augmented which on kill you get 0.24% ability strength stacks up to 250x which in total gives you 60% and the duration arcane is Molt efficiency while shields are active gain 6% ability duration per second up to a maximum of 36%

personally the doggo has a higher range to go invisible , powerful build but wouldn't call it broken though but still a very good build

[@n.t.n.yg.w8298]

Actual lie they both have the same range if anything the shade is better as it'll turn invisible quicker

[@sebastiang.9731]

I was running almost identical xaku build for 3 years straight.ye ita good.but i run more strength less energy version,so u can have a bit of problem with energy in the beginning of mission but after getting 4 th and second abilitu running u good

for regular content, i could understand, but SP and especially high level SP or if you're doing long runs like circuit/cascade, i'd be worried about surviving without the 75% dodge

@cjlewis4938 u always have 75% dodge no matter what,i started using shade prime and instead of rolling guard i roll with equilibrium,goated frfr
