Xaku - The fragmented, the restored

Hello there,

Introduction:

Xaku is a very unique Warframe, not because their pronouns are indeed 'they/them', but because of the abilities they got. [Xaku] is a caster. That means, they can run over the map and do the mission without shoot any bullet, or swing any melee, their abilities do the job for them.

Your main goal is to get 250 Range, that will give you up to 15 stolen weapons
Next goal is 308% Strength with Corrosive Projection, to fully strip enemies armor with Pillage.

Playstyle:

  • cast Grasp of Lohk, to strip enemies of their weapons by replacing them with their ethereal versions that attack everything in range
  • cast The Vast Untime, and freeze the timers of all your original skills for the duration of that ability, re-cast whenever it expires
  • cast Xata's Whisper to boost your damage
  • cast Pillage to strip enemies of their shields or armor

Attributes & Abilities:

Here is how it goes... you need 400% Strength, to completely remove enemies defense with Pillage, and 328% Strength with [Corrosive Projection] to completely remove enemies armor.
With 250% Range you will summon up to 15 ethereal weapons, for 16 you need 267%, and for 17 you will need 284%, but currently that digit is impossible to get, so 16 is your max at that moment.
You may ask, how am I doing with my Energy Pool? Well, thanks to Amber Archon Shards with +50% (+75%) Effectiveness on Energy Orbs I'm doing great!
Longer Duration = less casting = better Efficiency. Easy as that.

Aura Slot:

Suggested Aura Forma, so that it can be changed, when needed.

Exilus Slot:

Must be unlocked with an Exilus Adapter.

  • NONE - if there is no such need, then there is no point in unlocking the slot.
  • Handspring - Speeds up a Warframe's knock-down recovery rate.
  • (Primed) Sure Footed - Increases a Warframe's chance to resist knockdown.
    Primed version is exclusive to the Daily Tribute system. It will become available at first at day 400. TAKE IT!!!

Warframe Arcane Enhancements:

  • Molt Augmented - On Kill, +0.24% Ability Strength. Stacks up to 250x.
  • Molt Efficiency - While Shields are Active, Gain 6% Ability Duration per second, up to a maximum of 36%.

Archon Shards:

  • Crimson Archon Shards (RED):
    +10% (+15%) Ability Strength x2
  • Amber Archon Shards (YELLOW):
    +50% (+75%) Effectiveness on Energy Orbs x3

Focus School:

  • Madurai:
    Power Transfer - 50% Casting Speed on switching to Warframe.
    Sling Strength - Switching to Warframe after a Chained Sling adds 40% Ability Strength for 20s.

Helminth Subsumable Abilitie:

  • Pillage - Defense Strip, Shield Restore, Status Cleanse.

Loadout:

  • Weapons - what weapons? You are not going to shoot any bullet, or swing any melee... all you have to do is to keep your attention on skill timers. You can keep something hard hitting for acolytes/eximuses, Primer is always welcome.
  • Amp - chosen Amp parts and Arcanes.
  • Operator - chosen Arcanes.
  • Companion - literally any, it jobs will be vacuuming.

Summary:

Because [Xaku] is an amalgamation of three different Warframes, Xaku is the first Warframe to not have a distinct gender, being addressed by DE as "they/them". [Xaku] is one of those Warframes that you can call a caster. That means, they can cheese any mission, any level without shooting any bullet, or swing any melee, and all you have to do is keep your skills active. If you ask me, that's kind of boring and lazy playstyle, but when you are just not feeling like shooting and slicing your enemies, [Xaku] is here for you.

Enjoy!
