Learn how to get and play as Koumei in Warframe!
Let us give you a hand.
Xaku’s parts drop from each bounty punch in that Mother has available.
Harder bounties tend to have Xaku’s rarer parts in their drop table.
Complete the bounty with mastery to maximize your chances of getting this Warframe’s components.
In addition, you’ll also needScintillantto craft most of Xaku’s parts.
Drop table values were derived fromWarframe PC Drops.
Despite the website name, the drop tables are the same across all platforms.
it’s possible for you to also get Void Relics from relic packs sold by Syndicates.
If you’re lucky, you’ll get the part you want.
There are four components to Xaku Prime: their main blueprint, neuroptics, chassis, and systems.
All incoming projectiles that impact Xaku have a 25% chance to not deal any damage.
This is otherwise known asdodgein-game.
This stacks multiplicatively with other DR sources.
Xata’s Whisper
Wield Void damage for all attacks from equipped weapons when activated.
N/A
Affects cast Energy cost
Affects the Void damage buff
Subsume
This ability can besubsumed onto other Warframes.
Void damage has an intrinsic 50% damage bonus against Overguard and Zariman targets.
Damage output increases based on enemy level.
The number of weapons grabbed also determines the damage mutliplier for The Lost: Deny’s Void beam.
Affects how many weapons you could steal and their targeting radii.
Affects your skill damage.
Each turret will automatically target a nearby foe and shoot them roughly twice per second.
Grasp of Lohk’s weapon cap is affected byAbility Range,notStrength.
This is Xaku’s bread-and-butter ability and should always be active.
You’ll want to spec forRange and Strengthto get the most out of your stolen weapons.
The Lost
Cycle through a trio of lost Warframe powers.
Gazeis the main reason you’re using The Lost.
Xaku envelops the target with Void tendrils, making them impervious to all incoming damage and unable to move.
The enveolped target becomes a defense-stripping pylon thatrends shields and armor from all nearby enemies.
it’s possible for you to have two targets affected by Gaze at a time.
This beam doesn’t have an AoE component, but it does have infinite punchthrough against targets.
Enemies damaged by the body shrapnel are rendered weaker to Void damage.
Xaku’s other active abilities' duration is frozen in time and resumes once The Vast Untime expires.
Throw on as muchAbility Rangeas possible to tag every container on your minimap.
Alternatively, you’re able to simply trade for these mods from other players.
There’s not much to explain here.
The HP restoration is 25 by default, but you could scale this with Ability Strength.
The effet stacks up to 3x.
Casting the same ability back-to-back resets the effect.
We recommend cycling betweenGazefor defense strip andDenyfor a quick fire-and-forget cast.
Xaku Builds
We’ll be looking at two builds for Xaku in this guide.
Since Xaku casts some expensive abilities with semi-frequency, we recommendZenurikas your Focus School.
This gives you a means of passively regenerating your energy at all times.
Xaku doesn’t have any channeled skills, so you could benefit from Wellspring virtually all the time.
Archon Shards
Xaku leveragesCrimson Archon Shardsto great effect.
Throw on as muchAbility Strength and Durationas you’re free to.
We’ll be using The Vast Untime’s initial explosion to destroy containers on the map.
you could then useMag’s Pull ability with the Greedy Pull augmentto pull all the materials toward you.
You don’t need Pull for this build to work, but it makes it much better for speedrunning.
Pull will grab anything from 33 meters.
You’ll be spamming quite a few abilities, so we suggest also usingFleeting ExpertiseandStreamlineto cap your Ability Efficiency.
We usePrimed Continuityto counter the negative duration from Fleeting Expertise.
The final mod slot and aura are down to you.
We recommendLoot Detectorfor your aura andPrimed Redirectionfor your survivability mod.
If you aren’t worried about taking chip damage, you could use Rolling Guard instead.
Use Vast Untime, get a clear view of the containers you destroyed, use Pull, and repeat.
It’s incredibly easy to do and makes for a great material and collectible farmer.
We spec forAbility Strength and Rangeto make their Grasp of Lohk ability incredibly strong.
you might now steal 15 guns that last for 18 seconds.
We start the build withTransient Fortitude and Umbral Intensifyto greatly increase our Ability Strength.
Molt Augmented will let you fully strip enemy shields once you kill enough enemies in a mission.
UseAugur MessageandPrimed Continuityto give yourself some much-needed Ability Duration.
Finish the build withRolling Guardfor an added layer of survivability.
You have a few options for Subsumes and your Exilus mod.
If you want more survivability, you might’t go wrong withCondemn or Pillagein place of Xaku’s first ability.
you might also runSilencefrom Banshee if Eximus targets are giving you trouble.
Of course, you’re free to run Xaku without a subsume and clear content just fine.
For the Exilus slot, we highly recommendPrimed Sure Footedif you own it.
This makes you completely immune to incoming staggers, including your own AoE weapons.
Unleash a flurry of daggers with the Quassus.
