Warframe’s new Isleweaver now offers a new frame called Oraxia The Spider Queen. Her skillsets can be a bit complicated to master during the early stages of learning about her, but with time, you can quickly find her to be one of the most adept frames in the game. This guide will explain the perfect build for Oraxia in Warframe.
Warframe Oraxia Skills and Abilities Explained
You will quickly find Oraxia as a jack of all trades, since she can assassinate, crowd control, and take down foes with her poison skills. With the right gear and weapons, you can turn this frame into a deadly killing machine. Let’s take a look at some of her skillset below.
- Passive: Predator’s Lurk – While wall latching Oraxia will gain invisibility for 8 seconds and doesn’t break even after she stops latching on. She can remain invisible if she uses weapons. Can be refreshed when she can wall latch again.
- Abilities:
- Mercy’s Kiss: Deals toxic damage on enemies pierced by Oraxia, and upon death, will drop Energy Orbs or Health.
- Webbed Embrace: Releases a web that can trap enemies and increase Damage Vulnerability. Can unleash three webs at a time.
- Widow’s Brood: Releases stinging darts that deal poison damage, and enemies dead from this attack will spew Scuttlers. Scuttlers will scale according to the mission’s level.
- Silken Stride: Increases Oraxia’s max HP and also grants her immunity from all Status Effects. Ranged weapons used here will be embedded with Toxin damage, and enemies killed by it will release Toxins.
Oraxia is extremely mobile, and her skillset allows her to camp out and stalk targets. Plus, her Scuttlers also aid her in dealing damage and distracting opponents, making it much easier for Oraxia to clear out huge crowds of enemies. The only downside to playing as Oraxia is her inability to fully utilize her powers in small spaces. Her hitbox is quite big, so confining her to smaller tiles can prove futile.
Also, high value targets like Acolytes and Corrupted Vor will be immune to Oraxia’s Mercy Kiss kills, so you might have to depend more on her other attacks to bring them down. The Equilibrium mod works well with Mercy Kiss to increase her energy and HP, helping to focus more on the big picture while in battle. If you don’t want to do all the heavy work, just unleash Scuttlers under Widow’s Brood, and they will follow and attack wherever you are.
The Scuttler‘s attack duration and buffs can further be increased as you keep attacking and killing toxic infested enemies. Nourish, Arcane Camisado, and Summoner’s Wrath can further buff the attack stats of your minions and improve their damage output. Arcane Camisado can be switched out for Theorem Infection, depending on what sort of attack pattern you are going for.
Silken Stride helps Oraxia web swing and perform a similar action to Rolling Guard. While you can latch on to any wall or ceiling, you cannot move while latching on. The only movement option here is to swing to a different location, since dodging can be a bit tricky to perform with Oraxia’s build. But, doing the wall latch will also trigger the Predator’s Lurk, so you remain invisible while moving around.
While you do gain immunity from most status effects, you are not immune to toxic damage. Executions performed using any of her skills will also cause temporary blindness to all enemies when she releases a short burst around her.

- Companion: Panzer Vulpaphyla.
The Crimson Tauforged Shards will increase Oraxia’s Ability Duration by +15%, so equipping four of them will further improve her performance. If you are more dependent on the Scuttlers to do all the work, then you won’t require any improvements in Casting Speed. Having 1 Tauforded Emerald Shard is enough to increase her total corrosive status by +13, while a little shy from full strength, this will still help balance out Oraxia’s abilities.
As for her abilities, Arcane Bellicose, Molt Augmented, and Sling Strength will help increase her strength stats and obtain larger damage bonuses. Primary Blight will further increase her CRIT damage, while helping her weapons deal multishot to supplement Widow’s Brood. The Nourish Helminth is useful not just for her but for her Scuttlers as well. This helps deal additional Viral Damage on enemies, plus, Oraxia gets more energy as well. This is a great substitute for Mercy’s Kiss if you don’t want to deal with close combat.
When it comes to aura mods, you can either go for Growing Power for additional strength, or Summoner’s Wrath if you wish to enhance the Scuttlers. Since we won’t be going with Prime Sure Footed as Oraxia’s Exilus Mod, since she already has a skill that applies negative status effects, you can pick Preparation for increasing Maximum Energy, or Power Drift to resist knockdown and gain ability strength.
When it comes to weapons, any weapon will do good with Oraxia, and any perks that can increase Crit damage can be added to the weapon. The Panzer Vulpaphyla companion is a find addition to Oraxia’s build, as it can spread Viral and increase overall damage. You can add the Link Vitality mod for increasing HP by +125% as well as Calculated Redirection for +250% Shield Capacity. Martyr Symbiosis, Panzer Devolution, and Synth Deconstruct can also be added for extra synergy between Oraxia and Panzer Vulpaphyla.
