Xaku's void damage

[Inner Sight]

I haven't obtained Xaku yet. I know his/her abilities do nothing in terms of resetting sentients or damaging eidolon shields.

So I'm just wondering does it matter if Xaku's damage is void damage? At all?

[Nibbie]

I haven't really used him myself to confirm, but "Whispers from the Void infuse Xaku with untold power, by expending 25 energy to empower all equipped Weapons to inflict 1 extra hit per damage instance for 17% / 23% / 23% / 26% of total weapon damage as Void damage, which resets Sentient and Acolytes damage resistance upon Void status proc." -wiki Indeed doesn't work on other things like Eidolons though.

Void also matters in that it is a type of damage, and thus has its own type effectiveness (in this case, nothing is weak to it but nothing resists it), and also has its own status effect.

[Shuri]

when the New War release, we will fight those Sentient army. right?
Xaku's Whisper + Helmith ability will help us kill them without stuck with few frame and/or weapon that already has void damage in it.

for the example, i will put Xaku's Whisper on Inaros and beat the living ♥♥♥♥ out of the sentient body without dying myself bc Inaros can't die.

Probably won't happen after how big of a failure it was, but imagine Scarlet Spear event returning. Mesa with Xata's Whisper would absolutely annihilate it. DE would probably have to introduce a nerf like with Limbo. :P

It's void. And I think the 1 skill reset sentient, but doesn't work on eidolon. I don't fight sentient often, and even less with xaku, so I can't confirm it.

It was a failure the first week, but they quickly fixed it.
Remember it was released at the start of the pandemic lockdown, like a week after lockdown happened.

Honestly, it was MUCH better than the orphyx one. Reward were massively more generous and less grindy, and we were able to play warframe, not warmecha. I have nothing against necramechs, but playing nechramechs doesn't let me use all the stuff I grinded for.

I know it's intended, and most content released ♥♥♥♥ day is made to be played without our stuff (like the Nihil prison, orphyx), because the gap is too wide I assume between uber optimised build and random noob.
Even new war will have part where you play someone else.
But it's annoying, I feel like I grinded for nothing.

Nah, it was a big failure. Even outside of technical issues, it was supposed to prove the concept of linked missions and it fell on it's face in that aspect too. They made a mission that could fail because of elements completely unrelated to players currently taking part in it. Rewards were the only good things about it.

Orphix worked and the concept of Necramechs in normal missions was shown to function and be fun.

I think you saw too much in SS. They always try concept in event, nothing new. And outside of the failed link stuff, which was always limited anyway, it works.
The link even worked after a week or so. Or maybe it was faked. But it didn't matter, because all the link did was basically show someone's face on the right at times.

To bring this thread back on track... their damage type is Void, but the effects are limited

https://warframe.fandom.com/wiki/Damage/Void_Damage

Xaku's Void damage is only capable of procing its Bullet Attractor status and resetting Sentient resistances, and only Xata's Whisper and The Lost's Deny can do this. It lacks all other benefits, including bypassing Eidolon-type Sentient invulnerabilities and changing Profit-Taker Orb's shield weakness.

Well, since you're mainly going to use the warframe for the 100 percent armor strip and the weapons you steal from ennemies to have 13 automated turrets shredding anything around you...
No, void damage does not matter at all, even more when you know that her one only work on the weapons you're using, it has no effect on you powers and that's a missed synergy right there.
But hey, it's DE we're talking about.

Please use They/them talking about them or generaly if about anyone you don't know.

Yes it's doing void damage but it's not really good, I recommend switching it to something else.

You get your citation by launching the game and seeing that Orphix and Nechramech in Railjack missions are now widely available, while Scarlet Spear or Linked missions are not.

And link screwed up missions many times after it was fixed because sometimes there was just no one to give you the stuff to finish mission. It added nothing and introduced a critical failure point.

i run gloom/silence instead of that skill on xaku it dosent do much and the status proc is meh meanwhile gloom/silence will have huge impact in steel path

My theory: Dobby is an anime girl.
My proof: impossibly thin neck, short, huge head and eyes, very naive, keeps calling people "master" which can be compared to "senpai" in kinkness levels.

When you are so woke that even making sure not to assume gender with "his/her" will still get you in trouble. *face palm*

I mean correct way to say it is they/them if you don't know someone gender. Xaku is made of few Warframes so correct pronounce is they/them.
