@@xypherpl9506 Depends on how comfortable you are with The Lost. Some people (including me) find it awkward to work with. You basically only use Gaze, and it's stationary with a small radius where you want to be moving, so an alternate armor strip skill can feel better (Terrify, Pillage, Tharos strike, Orphanim Eyes).

Nourish over 1 build synergizes with Accuse, making the temporal allies have the viral explosions to prime enemies around + it allows you to prime without modding for viral, so you can make better use of other elements like cold and removes the need for Energize => Arcane Ice Storm => 400% strength is achievable = 100% slow + the cold for insane defenses. Also, with Nourish you do not have to focus on duration at all because the energy allows you to cast more often (+ the 40% from Arcane Ice Storm), which further opens modding space and allows for more mobile/faster gameplay rather than just camping. For companion, I would go Hound with the disarming and even more priming, its hilarious to watch disarming enemies under the radiation effect trying to beat each other.
I have 2 main setups on xaku, a boring fast deflection/catalyzing shields + rolling guard setup and the gigachad “just forget and play” shield tanking setup that got enabled by the larger base shields with the prime variant: The usual aegis setup, adaptation + P redirection + aaegis. Same amounts of mods, the arcane is different and it frees you up from having to jump through hoops while playing. A win-win.
Just subbed, you sir are the definitively best Warframe creator I’ve seen, no unnecessary yapping, excellent organisation, great priorities. Keep up this level of quality and you’ll overtake pretty much everyone else I guarantee it.
I may be from the old vanguard, but "they" and "them" are plural so it annoys me to hear it used as a singular pronoun. It's also how demonic people identify themselves because they're possessed by a bunch of demons. It makes sense cause they get hella mad when their pronouns aren't used.
tbh something i dont see alot of ppl mention is using mesa's helmith with the augment for constant blinds since u still get some dmg bonus but have a much easier time surviving since xaku kpm is high triggering the augment constantly and also removes the times when xata bubbles can become annoying
Have multiple builds for xaku now, found my best no helminth set up is: all umbrals, overextended, transient fortitude, primed cont, stretch, rolling guard, brief respite in aura and 3 tau red for strength, 2 tau blue for energy, with molt augmented and second arcane I switch between molt efficiency and aegis. This has the same range and duration as your build but over 200 str. With the shards it may as well be a flow. Rarely find myself energy starved unless on an execution tbh. I know many arent fans of running all umbrals when not needed, but the strength boost without sacrificing efficiency bc Xaku is a hungry mf with its abilities, really helps
I had Auger Reach for extra range (15 guns), but then used the Terrify Augment instead. I like this build much more than the one without Xata's Wisper and Condemn in place.
Relentless Loss is fairly underrated as an augment imo. 105% power strength when you need to basically get up to 300% (to counter act Overextended). Interesting thing is that it auto-cycles the abilities for you. Casting once, casts the ability and then moves it to the next one. Helps a ton for the management aspect of it.
I like to go with nourish for helminth. You get viral for your 2nd ability and also you will get more energy from orbs so you can drop equilibrium for something else
My setup is slightly different, I wanted a “functions right out of the box” play style so my shards actually were used to build 60% power strength and a yellow shard for casting speed. This allows me to offset the strength reduction from overextended allowing me to reach 199% strength with a transient fortitude and a maxed umbral intensify. I only need to kill 5 enemies for my molt augmented to grant the 200% needed for full defense strip. I used primed continuity to offset the duration decrease giving 128% duration giving 31 seconds on vast untime. I don’t run every range mod, only stretch, overextended, and cunning drift to get 15 weapons which is merely one away from the max of 16, the extra mods this is because I use primed redirection, fast deflection, and the vigilante mod that also upgrades shields granting rapidly regenerating shields that pair well with Xaku’s evasion. For arcanes I use molt augmented and arcane aegis. I run the zenurik focus school to pad out energy and a sly vulpaphyla for free ability casts through mystic bond and the enemy accuracy reduction it grants.
Tested out no helminth Xaku prime with only 1 forma in SP void survival and was literally having no issues. The build isn’t done I just wanted to play to see what I wanted to add (found out it’s range) and it was only 10mins but I don’t play survival that long anyways. Nonetheless they’re an incredibly fun frame to play so far I’m excited to make them stronger!
I had watched a Triberos vid on xaku when they were not primed, and he called their 2 "Pass the Glock". I half expected the joke to be made here tbh, but great video regardless!
One thing i never liked about their third ability is that it isnt telling the truth, it says it removes armour and shields from enemies but in my experience it removes armour OR shields from an enemy. I notice it mostly on the acolytes or oxium ospreys
Thats some rookie understanding, it removes armour AND shields, it is not probability based. They meant this skill have the ability to remove both enemy protection. And theres currently no overlapping of armour and shield together on a single enemy. They dont need to state with “or”
If you had read the whole comment you wouldve seen the two enemies i have found that have both armour and shields those being the steel path acolytes and oxium ospreys and clearly you misunderstood me, what i meant was it removes one or the other and not both from a single enemy
Yeah, it's one of those weird cases like Pillage where it'll prioritize shields, if the enemy has them, requiring multiple casts to get rid off armor...
about the phnemor - i saw a build of kyaii with blast: glavanized chamber+aptitude, rifle elementalist, vile acceleration, serration,rime rounds,vigilente armmaments, and terminal velocity for exilus. primary merciless. could you try it out and say what you think about it? i think blast is way better than viral on this weapon
20% multi shot makes it so the DMG of a single shot is 20% more DMG of what the gun deals. 100% means it's multiplied by 2 making the gun deal the DMG the amount of 2 shots with 1 bullet/fire.
It's up to you how you wanna play it. You can rush it or take your time with it. I do however suggest you take it slow as some people who rushed it found themselves struggling later in the game. And a little advice...don't spend plat on anything besides slots. You will unlock primes and have plenty of copies as you go on. Once you unlock the circuit, you can test out the base version of some weapons and warframes, which will help you out to make a decision on what you wanna prioritise to get as primes. Eventually you'll be able to fully max everything. Oh and one last thing....don't sell for credits any quest items as it will be a nightmare to get them back.
You are still in the tutorial till you get into new war lol. Go slow, have fun and make friends. Having a squad of folks to grind with in chill discord is great
I actually tried running fire blast subsumed over his 3 and so far its been pretty good and i did that bc I really don't like his 3 bc not only 2 out of the 3 subabilites just don't do it for me or just doesnt seem to have a crazy effect IMO. And the armor strip one has me like "really mf....." now yes I am aware that I have to cast it twice to strip the enemies which may or may not be a drain on energy depending on energy amount (honestly I just don't spam it much,yes you can say "just don't spam" about anything) BUT at least they stay stripped. And I don't have to worry about mods for it or worry about vast untime not affecting it,bc it isn't a duration power so yeah. IMHO it's the best if you are wanting a better armor strip
I have been really enjoying Xaku with Ophanim Eyes subsumed lately in anticipation of a prime. Yes, it isnt instant armor strip and requires more strenght, has enemy slow + heat procs. And the gradual defense strip isnt that big of a problem, cause even partial strip is now more effective after Jade Shadows and you have constantly firing void turrets. Good vid tho, as always.
Been really enjoying Tempest Barrage + augment on Xaku with 1 Tauforged green shard for stripping more armor. It buffs both weapons AND his abilities a lot, something Xata's Whisper does not, makes him a more active frame (instead of just refreshing his ability timers every now and then) and it's easy to fit with all Xaku builds wanting a lot of strength and range. The only question is whether to subsume over Xata's Whisper or The Lost? I do enjoy using Accuse and Gaze is still useful for stripping armor of off certain enemies that have status caps like Acolytes or more stationary mission types like survival, so I chose to keep The Lost. But keeping Xata's Whisper is better if you're focusing hard on gunplay. Obligatory recommendation of using Exergis with Xata's Whisper: The bullet attractor effect trapping the Exergis's shots and then letting them loose in random direction gives a nice bit of AoE to this single target shotgun ^^
adapt for the no helmith build prob isnt needed because of shield regen and for those people getting mad about prounons shut up its a video game character
Great video as always, Flo! Honestly, I was excited to see your take on Xaku, been one of my favourite frames for a while and I love the multitude of builds in your videos. On another note though... Are people seriously arguing about pronouns for Xaku? As a non-binary person, Xaku isn't exactly 'good representation'. Refer to it however you want. I call Xaku They, She, He, It, anything and everything because its just an amalgamation from the void. I could get into a rant about the 'identity' but who cares? And to the people who are arguing that its 'Woke' to call Xaku 'They'... Y'all need to learn history and the meaning of words. Y'all are dumb af. Read a book.
I like what you said there up to a certain point. You have to realise most ppl dont know non binary persons in real life, so obviously they dont know much about it, why would they. And you called them dumb. Your insight is needed here, youre the one who knows what youre talking about, and i totally get your feelings that some discussions can be annyoing to deal with, it can stack up in time, yadda, yadda. But ppl will never listen to you if you insult them. Just a friendly advice there, god bless.
With a grasp focused setup dispensor + equilibrium usually does it for me in terms of energy, i never run out of it. This lets you use the flow slot for more stregth and if you really want energy then that power strength frees a shard slot. Because of how his 3rd works i usually have a stationarry playstyle so dispensor is very fitting albeit not for everyone. He's the chill skeleton frame, really recommand it.
Edit: ope you mentioned it later lol A really good build for steel path is running Shade or a Huras Kubrow, and then rely on Grasp of Lohk to get kills. Abilities won't break the stealth from the companion, so it's really nice. You can also run Duplex Bond because the companion clones won't break your stealth but will do damage, and they can be used for viral priming if you run a good sentinel weapon . . it's really cool
Thanks for the guide as always, Flo! If you dont mind, can you please make updated guides for frames like Vauban and Garuda? I'd like to see some no helminth builds so i can know what to build for.
You used flow for energy not good any more arcane battery and health conversion mod armor and energy and blue shards as armor less dmg coming in and big energy pool 4 spamming and stacks
i didnt want to use archon shards on xaku so i tried a few things first: i tried to go wtih 270 range and 180 strength but duration and my efficiency was crap, since i had no space for flow i could barely upkeep myself. second: i then decided to try 240 strength and 170 range with 110 duration. i went with nourish on xaku's first. this worked really well. although i didnt have alot of energy i could easily sustain energy. third: i tried to stealth gun play setup with shade, with the nourish setup. it was extremely boring like you said. the enemies died relatively alright, but definitely nothing compared to some other frames. fourth and final setup was with balanced 180 strength and 170 range with 145 duration and 110 efficiency. no subsume. this build was alooot better felt more sustainable, didnt feel power hungry and i had space to slot in flow in this build so that was fantastic too. i'd recommend going for arcane steadfast and molt augmented for this setup, as you will constantly cast your 4 getting free casts is super nice. especially in early sp missions.
So far the only build I’ve crafted and decided to go with was dual toxy+ green shards and subsume nourish on 3. Energy nexus + nourish pretty much takes care of energy but I have 1 equilibrium shard just in case. Dualies are fine from ad clear to dps but I’m working on finding a melee influence loadout for when I’m too lazy to shoot.
For strength u shud just aim at 200% as gaze full armor strip capped at that breakpoint, 140% base with molt augmented is enough, which leave u more strength slot out (idk is it possible cuz I have 3 tau strength)
How did you not manage to fit flow into the first option? Even if I take my two duration shards off Xaku, 155 duration 45 efficiency 280 range 179 strength. Overextended, blind rage, auger reach, primed continuity, rolling guar, primed flow, stretch, umbral intensity, corrosive projection, cunning drift. Milt augmented and arcane energize are my picks for arcanes. On Xaku prime this took me two forma, granted on if them was an umbral forma but I feel it was worth it. Throw on two or more red shards for duration and you have almost a minute between vast untime cast while running around with 16 guns at all times.
@@s15240drifter69 i am quite bad at modding :D so messing around clears things up for me and when i see actual power growth/decline my smooth monkey brain understands it better. its a severe skill issue on my end.
I Have 4 purple tau for 30/30 energy/health, 1 tau red for strength, Breach surge over Xata, then growing power (as companions proc it), power drift, overextended, transient fortitude, blind rage, primed flow, augur reach, primed continuity, stretch, and umbral intensify. and then i have arcane energize and molt augmented. i did have arcane arachne instead of molt augemented (as breach surge sparks r affected by the damage buff) but my arcane is only lvl 1 and doesnt do enough. for min max i plan on using a hound with an ability to shock enemies to proc archon stretch and as a primer for viral. u could also use a huras kubrow with stalk and as a viral primer. im not sure if Hunter Recovery procs archon intensify (it probably doesnt since it isnt an ability), but i will be trying it soon. Edit: i realize Purple taus r expensive. it will definitely be better to do 5 red tau instead for ability strength and drop Transient Fortitude for Equilibrium. i will probably be changing my build to that as it will also provide more ability strength. or i may do 4 tau red and 1 tau yellow for casting speed
Yes xaku can be strong and scale forever. But his ability kills dont drop life support as often like other abilities do. Keep in mind new players, big dmg doesn't matter, time to kill and drop rates do.
Is there a reason why Warframe guides don't suggest operator's Protective Sling over Rolling Guard mod? It doesn't use a mod slot and can be used consecutively for longer invulnerability times without much cooldown. Varzin Focus is also handy for increasing the range XP can be gained.
Xaku is probaly my most afk frame, I do rock shade as a companion (But I use the clone mod for more dmg and priming since they can attack without breaking shades invisibility) and use Nurish as my first and have Combat discipline as my aura to constently prime nearby enemies with viral, with enough strength to armour strip and a with a little duration to it... solo yeah it is abit boring but with a friend it just allows me to be a really good support by just running around
Is there any true summoner in warframe?(that mainly focused on summons as dmg source or smth esle) Or at least build that can use build companion as main dmg dealer.
Xaku doesnt need survivability even in "end game" content since his 2 scales with enemy level and he pretty much 1-2 shots enemies. Source: ive been maining xaku for pretty much all content since he first came out
THEY/THEM* not 'IT'...... if you're gonna bother with lore or synopsis or a DE blurb of the frame, then be accurate & read it as they've written it. Don't need to believe in non binary, but don't try to rewrite the game. tho Xaku is literally more than 1, so they/them adverbially makes sense here
disgusting. i just put 2 umbra formas on and all 3 umbra mods. Corrosive projection, primed sure footed, primed flow, primed continuety, stretch, adaptation and relentless lost. never died on any long SP run, ever.
I usually love your videos, but was there a single good reason to use 'it' instead of the established 'they/them'? Genuinely curious 'cos it seems like people will do anything to not recognise a gender that isn't man or woman. Like the 1 thing everyone says about they/them pronouns is that it's a plural term, but the one time it's actually plural, you use 'it'? Make it make sense. Edit: I really wouldn't care that much if you didn't make the conscious effort to use the wrong pronouns for Xaku - but after declaring that you would refer to them as 'it/it's', you referred to them as 'he/him' for about fifteen minutes until you used 'it/it's'. And anyone who tries the 'it's just a video game character' excuse - that's all it is, an excuse. If it's just a character then why go through so many hoops to disrespect them instead of just correcting yourself? You just want to be an asshole and have a slogan to fall back on when you inevitably get push-back.
Hey I can assure you there wasn’t much depth to what I was referring to xakus pronouns as it had nothing to do with pronouns, I landed up saying he or him just because it didn’t sound right saying they or xaku the whole time in the video. While yes I could’ve referred to xaku as they I just didn’t think much of it. Like I said it had nothing to do with pronouns and misgendering xaku
Hey i hear you I should’ve referred to xaku as they but the truth is I just didn’t know what to refer to xaku as and I felt saying xaku or they the whole time would’ve been a lot for this leng of the video

Important Note: the Vast Untime will NOT pause any helminth abilities you put on Xaku.
Xaku does NOT need any helminth, he's literally the perfect frame for any content (minus Spy I guess)

reminds me of that one venom meme
I don't mean this in a negative connotation, but its really only a video game
when the actual meaning of "they" is lost.
that you forget that "They" originally refers to plural
If it has the mind of all three, I would consider it as they, but if it's just one mind, it is an it to me.
I like to go with nourish for helminth. You get viral for your 2nd ability and also you will get more energy from orbs so you can drop equilibrium for something else

As far as i know, the only armor strip to reliably work on both shields and armor at the same time is tharros strike
WOuld be helpful when you have the build screenshot up to include the stats on the left too!
about the phnemor - i saw a build of kyaii with blast:
glavanized chamber+aptitude, rifle elementalist, vile acceleration, serration,rime rounds,vigilente armmaments, and terminal velocity for exilus.

Condemn as subsume is also a good helminth option
Shields on demand + good cc helps a ton with survival ability
Am I the only one that wants to hear this guy say "skeleton"?
warframeflo: emphasizes that Xaku is an "it". Also warframeflo 10sec later: "his components". lmao
When the nezha vid coming!!!!😊
In Roar setup which ability I replace?
If i use 2 yellow shard will the ability 2 fire rate increase??
No, yellow shard increases the ""casting"" speed. It won't increase an ability fire rate
@@tutuuuu467 Thank you.
Been really enjoying Tempest Barrage + augment on Xaku with 1 Tauforged green shard for stripping more armor. It buffs both weapons AND his abilities a lot, something Xata's Whisper does not, makes him a more active frame (instead of just refreshing his ability timers every now and then) and it's easy to fit with all Xaku builds wanting a lot of strength and range.
The only question is whether to subsume over Xata's Whisper or The Lost? I do enjoy using Accuse and Gaze is still useful for stripping armor of off certain enemies that have status caps like Acolytes or more stationary mission types like survival, so I chose to keep The Lost. But keeping Xata's Whisper is better if you're focusing hard on gunplay.
Obligatory recommendation of using Exergis with Xata's Whisper: The bullet attractor effect trapping the Exergis's shots and then letting them loose in random direction gives a nice bit of AoE to this single target shotgun ^^
adapt for the no helmith build prob isnt needed because of shield regen
and for those people getting mad about prounons
shut up
its a video game character
why are you so mad that Xaku's non-binary? They're just a video game character.
@buttoneyemrt491 I'm not mad
But other people get mad
U would know that if you could read
Great video as always, Flo! Honestly, I was excited to see your take on Xaku, been one of my favourite frames for a while and I love the multitude of builds in your videos.
On another note though... Are people seriously arguing about pronouns for Xaku? As a non-binary person, Xaku isn't exactly 'good representation'. Refer to it however you want. I call Xaku They, She, He, It, anything and everything because its just an amalgamation from the void. I could get into a rant about the 'identity' but who cares?
And to the people who are arguing that its 'Woke' to call Xaku 'They'... Y'all need to learn history and the meaning of words. Y'all are dumb af. Read a book.
I like what you said there up to a certain point. You have to realise most ppl dont know non binary persons in real life, so obviously they dont know much about it, why would they. And you called them dumb. Your insight is needed here, youre the one who knows what youre talking about, and i totally get your feelings that some discussions can be annyoing to deal with, it can stack up in time, yadda, yadda. But ppl will never listen to you if you insult them. Just a friendly advice there, god bless.
With a grasp focused setup dispensor + equilibrium usually does it for me in terms of energy, i never run out of it. This lets you use the flow slot for more stregth and if you really want energy then that power strength frees a shard slot. Because of how his 3rd works i usually have a stationarry playstyle so dispensor is very fitting albeit not for everyone. He's the chill skeleton frame, really recommand it.
Edit: ope you mentioned it later lol
A really good build for steel path is running Shade or a Huras Kubrow, and then rely on Grasp of Lohk to get kills. Abilities won't break the stealth from the companion, so it's really nice. You can also run Duplex Bond because the companion clones won't break your stealth but will do damage, and they can be used for viral priming if you run a good sentinel weapon . . it's really cool
Thanks for the guide as always, Flo!
If you dont mind, can you please make updated guides for frames like Vauban and Garuda? I'd like to see some no helminth builds so i can know what to build for.
Is this not claim for every new warframe?!
xaku the goat, level cap xaku when
Attempted and failed hehe, gonna try again!
You used flow for energy not good any more arcane battery and health conversion mod armor and energy and blue shards as armor less dmg coming in and big energy pool 4 spamming and stacks
Vauban level cap run, when?
sho i have no idea !
Skeleeetal ?
You're the reason I started using Glaives.
i didnt want to use archon shards on xaku so i tried a few things first: i tried to go wtih 270 range and 180 strength but duration and my efficiency was crap, since i had no space for flow i could barely upkeep myself.
second: i then decided to try 240 strength and 170 range with 110 duration. i went with nourish on xaku's first. this worked really well. although i didnt have alot of energy i could easily sustain energy.
third: i tried to stealth gun play setup with shade, with the nourish setup. it was extremely boring like you said. the enemies died relatively alright, but definitely nothing compared to some other frames.
fourth and final setup was with balanced 180 strength and 170 range with 145 duration and 110 efficiency. no subsume. this build was alooot better felt more sustainable, didnt feel power hungry and i had space to slot in flow in this build so that was fantastic too. i'd recommend going for arcane steadfast and molt augmented for this setup, as you will constantly cast your 4 getting free casts is super nice. especially in early sp missions.
So far the only build I’ve crafted and decided to go with was dual toxy+ green shards and subsume nourish on 3. Energy nexus + nourish pretty much takes care of energy but I have 1 equilibrium shard just in case. Dualies are fine from ad clear to dps but I’m working on finding a melee influence loadout for when I’m too lazy to shoot.
For strength u shud just aim at 200% as gaze full armor strip capped at that breakpoint, 140% base with molt augmented is enough, which leave u more strength slot out (idk is it possible cuz I have 3 tau strength)
How did you not manage to fit flow into the first option?
Even if I take my two duration shards off Xaku, 155 duration 45 efficiency 280 range 179 strength.
Overextended, blind rage, auger reach, primed continuity, rolling guar, primed flow, stretch, umbral intensity, corrosive projection, cunning drift. Milt augmented and arcane energize are my picks for arcanes. On Xaku prime this took me two forma, granted on if them was an umbral forma but I feel it was worth it.
Throw on two or more red shards for duration and you have almost a minute between vast untime cast while running around with 16 guns at all times.
@@s15240drifter69 i am quite bad at modding :D so messing around clears things up for me and when i see actual power growth/decline my smooth monkey brain understands it better.
its a severe skill issue on my end.
I Have 4 purple tau for 30/30 energy/health, 1 tau red for strength, Breach surge over Xata, then growing power (as companions proc it), power drift, overextended, transient fortitude, blind rage, primed flow, augur reach, primed continuity, stretch, and umbral intensify. and then i have arcane energize and molt augmented. i did have arcane arachne instead of molt augemented (as breach surge sparks r affected by the damage buff) but my arcane is only lvl 1 and doesnt do enough. for min max i plan on using a hound with an ability to shock enemies to proc archon stretch and as a primer for viral. u could also use a huras kubrow with stalk and as a viral primer. im not sure if Hunter Recovery procs archon intensify (it probably doesnt since it isnt an ability), but i will be trying it soon.
Edit: i realize Purple taus r expensive. it will definitely be better to do 5 red tau instead for ability strength and drop Transient Fortitude for Equilibrium. i will probably be changing my build to that as it will also provide more ability strength. or i may do 4 tau red and 1 tau yellow for casting speed
Xaku the bane of boxes and crates
Can't destroy the MIGHTY SEER tho
So we putting duration on a warframe that can freeze ability timer?
Kinda always destroy everything since its released.
I remember when some players had trouble using him at first.
But he is really strong with the right set of mods on him.🥃
pillage xaku moment
Yes xaku can be strong and scale forever. But his ability kills dont drop life support as often like other abilities do. Keep in mind new players, big dmg doesn't matter, time to kill and drop rates do.
Looks like I'll be purchasing him
Thank you Oh WarframeFlo, I am now granted the knowledge of how to Xaku build.
I grant thee fellow tenno the knowledge!
Afk frame vid hehe
Very true lol
Yep!
Is there a reason why Warframe guides don't suggest operator's Protective Sling over Rolling Guard mod? It doesn't use a mod slot and can be used consecutively for longer invulnerability times without much cooldown. Varzin Focus is also handy for increasing the range XP can be gained.
Fun for quick runs where he just blasts everything, too annoying for me in endurance runs where my gazed targets get nullified constantly
Idk man, I just got my limbo to hit for 3m dmg per hit with my kuva chakkurr, I think im good.
Xaku is probaly my most afk frame, I do rock shade as a companion (But I use the clone mod for more dmg and priming since they can attack without breaking shades invisibility) and use Nurish as my first and have Combat discipline as my aura to constently prime nearby enemies with viral, with enough strength to armour strip and a with a little duration to it... solo yeah it is abit boring but with a friend it just allows me to be a really good support by just running around
Is there any true summoner in warframe?(that mainly focused on summons as dmg source or smth esle)
Or at least build that can use build companion as main dmg dealer.
Is Quassus Prime goood? I feel like no one talks about it
It is good...
... For mastery rank 🗿
Xaku doesnt need survivability even in "end game" content since his 2 scales with enemy level and he pretty much 1-2 shots enemies.
Source: ive been maining xaku for pretty much all content since he first came out
@@notaveryinterestingperson
Yep, i wanna see a xaku on level cap without any surv. Option.
Deny also Stuns Liches and Sisters just leave them Hanging in mid air😂
Boney Stark. Cuz the primes right hand looks like iron man
Cool and all but my khora build would beat him n a 1v1
don't take my word on this but arcane arachne encrease your weapon damage so it could encrease it's 2nd ability's damage
my personal favorite has been using nourish on their 3, gives me some stupid damage
THEY/THEM* not 'IT'...... if you're gonna bother with lore or synopsis or a DE blurb of the frame, then be accurate & read it as they've written it.
Don't need to believe in non binary, but don't try to rewrite the game. tho Xaku is literally more than 1, so they/them adverbially makes sense here
Dude it is not that deep 💀
ZARKU
ZARKU BRU!
Simply a he. Hes just metal junk crafted together with a lot of junk metal. But a he in body build.
All the people that have been sleeping on Xaku are suddenly going to "discover" how strong he is 😆
I like feeling like a God when I play warframe so Xaku doesn't really do it for me, He's fun thou.
Commit a floment each time Flo says Zarku
i love you flow
disgusting.
i just put 2 umbra formas on and all 3 umbra mods.
Corrosive projection, primed sure footed, primed flow, primed continuety, stretch, adaptation and relentless lost.
never died on any long SP run, ever.
I usually love your videos, but was there a single good reason to use 'it' instead of the established 'they/them'? Genuinely curious 'cos it seems like people will do anything to not recognise a gender that isn't man or woman. Like the 1 thing everyone says about they/them pronouns is that it's a plural term, but the one time it's actually plural, you use 'it'? Make it make sense.
Edit: I really wouldn't care that much if you didn't make the conscious effort to use the wrong pronouns for Xaku - but after declaring that you would refer to them as 'it/it's', you referred to them as 'he/him' for about fifteen minutes until you used 'it/it's'.
And anyone who tries the 'it's just a video game character' excuse - that's all it is, an excuse. If it's just a character then why go through so many hoops to disrespect them instead of just correcting yourself? You just want to be an asshole and have a slogan to fall back on when you inevitably get push-back.
People like you are why Trump won.
Hey I can assure you there wasn’t much depth to what I was referring to xakus pronouns as it had nothing to do with pronouns, I landed up saying he or him just because it didn’t sound right saying they or xaku the whole time in the video. While yes I could’ve referred to xaku as they I just didn’t think much of it. Like I said it had nothing to do with pronouns and misgendering xaku
@@WarframeFlo oh, okay. Thanks for clearing that up
“Their” not “it” even the devs have said Xaku is a “They”
okay buddy
@ maybe if you’d pay attention you’d know that my guy.🤷🏼♂️
People like you are why Trump won.
Hey i hear you I should’ve referred to xaku as they but the truth is I just didn’t know what to refer to xaku as and I felt saying xaku or they the whole time would’ve been a lot for this leng of the video
@ that’s a fair point. Wasn’t meant to be as an attack at you, i was just pointing it out
