Xaku/Main

CODEX

She is Xaku, she is a composite... a Warframe assembly made of others lost in the early Entrati Void expeditions(All where female). 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.

—Lotus

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, she bridges reality to the horrors from beyond the fold. Xaku was reborn in Update 29.0 (2020-08-25).

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".
  • Despite this, concept art for Xaku shows that they were originally designed as a female Warframe, which explains the final version's more feminine appearance.
• Xaku's idle, dodge, and ability animations involve the fragmentation of their body parts and exposure of the Aboroflora skeletal structure beneath.
  • Xaku's custom dodge performs a dash similar to  Limbo,  Hildryn,  Wisp, or  Titania Prime, animated with the broken pieces coming apart and reattaching onto Xaku's energized skeletal form.
    •  Protea also has a unique dodge animation (An aerial cartwheel)
  • 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 and possess the first ability buff to deal damage.
