CODEX

Neither he nor she, Xaku is a composite... a Warframe assembly made of others lost in the early Entrati Void expeditions. Xaku has mastered this power of the Void to terrify and bewilder their adversaries.

Forged from the remnants of lost Warframes, they channel the spirits of the Void. This is Xaku, the fragmented, the restored.

In the concert of mayhem, Xaku is a law unto themselves, Tenno.

Release Date: August 25th, 2020

Of the Void ethereal, yet coalesced into corporeal shape, the fractured anomaly Xaku exists as an entity thrice entwined. Fused from the shattered remnants of three warriors, they bridge reality to the horrors from beyond the fold. Xaku was reborn in Update 29.0 (2020-08-25).

Notes

When Xaku wields their signature Quassus, the weapon's ethereal daggers become more accurate.
Xaku's Script error: The function "Proc" does not exist. abilities have no effect on Eidolon Teralyst, Eidolon Gantulyst, and Eidolon Hydrolyst's shields.

Trivia

Xaku is the 44th unique Warframe to be released.
Xaku is the second community-designed Warframe after Nova. Xaku's theme selected from the chosen entries is "Broken Warframe", suggested by forum community member eaterofstorms.
- Xaku's abilities were selected from multiple suggestions by hundreds of community members in the Open Call forum threads.
- Community artists involved with the design of Xaku and their accessories include: Eornheit (Warframe concept art), Faven (alternate helmet), Kedemel (signature weapon), and Karu (signature Syandana).
Because Xaku is an amalgamation of three different Warframes, Xaku is the first Warframe to not have a distinct sex, being addressed by DE as "they/them".^[1]
- Despite this, concept art for Xaku shows that they were originally designed as a distinctly female Warframe. Some elements of this early design were incorporated into the final version.^[2]
Xaku's idle, dodge, and ability animations involve the fragmentation of their body parts and exposure of the Aboroflora skeletal structure beneath.
- Xaku is the sixth Warframe with unique rolling animations, after Limbo, Hildryn, Wisp, Titania Prime, and Protea, where Xaku launches themselves forward a short distance while their broken pieces come apart and reattach onto their energized skeletal form.
- Xaku becomes fully skeletal in appearance while The Vast Untime is activated.
Xaku's ability names relate to three Requiem Mods: Xata, Lohk, and Ris.
- The Lost uses words from Ris' description for its sub-abilities Gaze, Accuse, and Deny.
Xaku is the first Warframe to possess an ability buff that deals Script error: The function "Proc" does not exist. damage.
Xaku is the first Warframe to possess sporatic base attributes, breaking the trend that all Warframe base attributes are multiples of 5.
Xaku has a visible face with somewhat feminine features shown at the end of their Warframe Profile trailer, marking them as the second Warframe in the game to have visible facial features, after Excalibur Umbra.
