Xaku — Lohk Battery

Don’t build this yet

First Bones first

This loadout sits at Endgame. It wants Forma, Helminth, or shards you may not have. Play the Starter until those systems are open — then this page is the upgrade, not the homework.

Why this build?

Endgame for endgame / endurance general, Defense, anyone who wants Xaku to press 2

Health: Not yet — Helminth, Steel Path, or Archon Hunts still closed. Play the Starter.

• Grasp plus Untime is Xaku. Range is gun count. Strength is strip.
• Stolen guns scaling with enemy level is why Xaku gets better as the mission gets worse.
• Do not skip Untime to 'save energy.' The pause is the energy save.

Don’t use this for: Star Chart only · new accounts · Capture / short missions · Exterminate speedruns

Specialised investment for hard content

You don’t need the shards to run the loop. They are a later ceiling, not a gate.

Bring: Stolen guns are the weapon — Your primary is a backup. Grasp weapons scale off enemy level and Range (how many you steal). The Lost: Gaze can strip while they shoot.

   One Archon Hunt

   If you are logging off after this, stop at the named component. Do not start a second Forma session tired.

What this loadout needs

Required is a gate. Recommended is a ceiling. Optional is a later farm — don’t stall the card for it.
