INTRODUCTION

[Razorwing] and [Dex Pixia] focused build for zooming around in [Razorwing] and killing things with [Dex Pixia].

UPDATE JUNE 2025
I have merged the [Xata] build into this and removed [Beguiling Lantern] since Lantern is kind of redundant and terrible to use since the razorfly changes (they are immortal, draw aggro and apply damage vulnerability now).

High Strength one-cast full strip Pillage variant: https://overframe.gg/build/430581/
This is a high range variant for Steel Path utilising crowd control: https://overframe.gg/build/286293/
This is an even higher range variant: https://overframe.gg/build/286297/titania-prime/condemn-the-world-titania-crowd-control-steel-path/

BUILD SPECIFICS

Duration
Duration is great for minimising energy drain from [Razorwing] and maximising the uptime of Spellbind (for status immunity) as well asTribute buffs. [Archon Continuity] is used because if you mod [Dex Pixia] for Blast + Toxin, you will get free corrosive status that strips armor

Efficiency
Efficiency combined with duration helps minimise energy drain as both stats affect the drain. At 254% duration, you need exactly 136% efficiency to reduce the drain to the absolute minimum of 25% cost. Arcane Impetus can give about 7 stacks for 21% efficiency which helps reduce drain to about 31%.

Range
Range is not useful at all since Tribute has fixed aura range and you just need to be a bit closer to cast on enemies at low range, we only cast spellbind on ourselves for status immunity and range has no effect on Razorwing, and we subsume over Lantern.

Strength
Strength for 4 boosts both razorwing base damage and the firerate/movement speed buffs from [Razorwing Blitz] augment, although, if your strength is too high, the movement speed may become more uncontrollable so you may need to just avoid sprinting.

Survivability
Option 1 (Higher level steel path levels e.g. >200) Shield Gating with Catalyzing Shields or Passive Shield regen + Crowd Control
Shield Gating is a mechanic that allows you to abuse invulnerability frames (i-frames) gained upon breaking of shields, by simply restoring shields whenever they break within a short window. Catalyzing Shields currently reduces max shields by 5x BUT forces any amount shield you own to give the maximum 1.33s i-frames upon breaking (which is most likely unintended). If this is fixed, you will need [Brief Respite] and additional augur mods on a pistol in order maximise shield gating. Spam spellbind to both CC and shield gate.
Passive shield regeneration via [Fast Deflection] or Arcane Aegis can help you survive without even needing to actively shield gate, this is because while in [Razorwing] and with Dust buff, [Titania] is quite hard to hit while high in the sky and mobile, meaning when u take damage you can quickly start regenerating shields with [Fast Deflection] reducing the recharge delay.
Finally, Razorflies are immortal and draw aggro (have a higher threat level) making you even harder to hit.

Option 2 (Casual non-steel path or early steel path levels <200) Tanking with Damage Reduction
[Adaptation] gives up to 90% damage reduction which works on shields and multiplies with other sources of Damage reduction such as Thorns, [Aerodynamic], [Aviator] and Shields.
You can swap Catalyzing Shields for Adaptation, Aura for Aerodynamic, Exilus for Aviator.
Total damage reduction while airborn: 98.86%

Augments

• Razorwing Blitz : gives you big boost to flying speed and dex pixia fire rate

Arcanes

• Arcane Impetus - with [Dex Pixia] modded with blast tox and [Archon Continuity] you can easily get up to 7 stacks of impetus for a free 42% strength and 21% efficiency. You can go even higher if you mod magnetic might.
• Arcane Pistoleer - gives 100% ammo efficiency meaning you don't have to deal with the annoying reload mechanic and the small clip size
• Arcane Aegis - a single rank 0 arcane aegis helps with passive shield gating
• Arcane Precision - extra 300% damage on headshots
• Molt Augmented or Arcane Camisado - both give an additional 60% strength
• Velocity can further boost dex pixia fire rate, but this is unnecessary when stacked with razorwing blitz

Aura

• Totally flexible depending on preference: Brief Respite for active shield gating without augur mods, Corrosive Projection for passive armor strip

Exilus

• Preparation is great for speedrunning, doesn't even even need to be max rank
• Power Drift for a bit more strength
• Speed drift to increase cast speed for building razorwing blitz stacks on demand
• [Aviator] is okay to use in low levels. Total damage reduction multiplied with thorns gives about 70%. This will not be as useful in Steel Path

Archon Shards
One cast speed shards and four strength shards
1 tau +corrosive shard is optional if using corrosive heat or blast tox/mag tox Dex Pixia builds

Helminth
Abilities that can be spam cast are best for stacking Razorwing Blitz:

• Xata's whisper - boosts raw damage (especially when paired with Blast as Blast status procs [Xata] again helping Blast trash clear more effecitvely). Also creates magnetic bubbles that suck in enemy bullets so you dont get hit as often. Double dips headshot multiplier.
• Nourish - applies viral damage boost to dex pixia and gives energy multiplier
• Pull - fastest one handed animation in the game, and provides light crowd control
• Pillage - strips shields/armor, scales with duration, regens shields for shield gating
• Molt - aggro draw and extreme speed boost to make your titania enter hyperspace

PLAYSTYLE

1. Go into razorwing mode (tap 4)
2. Cast Spellbind on yourself to provide knockdown/status immunity (Note: Tap 1 and INVERT SETTINGS FOR TAP/HOLD). Constantly tap 1 to shield gate and keep [Razorwing Blitz] active
3. Cycle through 2 and cast different tributes on enemies. Your Razorflies will automatically go pick them up.
4. Keep [Xata]'s Whisper or Nourish active.
5. Shoot stuff with [Dex Pixia]
6. Fly around really fast (don't sprint unless you want a concussion from smacking into walls)

ARSENAL

DEX PIXIA
General Use:
Blast Tox (most universal for trash clearing with Xata's Whisper): https://overframe.gg/build/430321/

For Plague Star:
Hemocyte/Lephantis killer (4 forma): https://overframe.gg/build/215254/dex-pixia/dex-pixia-no-crit-corroblast-plague-star-hemocyte-lephantis-killer/

DIWATA
Raw Viral Diwata for DPS (for use with Pillage): https://overframe.gg/build/595031/

COMPANION
Companions are 'deactivated' while in [Razorwing] and cannot cast abilities, however, certain bond mod effects remain active for example [Reinforced Bond] and [Tenacious Bond], both of which apply to [Dex Pixia]. Any companion that can hit the shield threshold and critical chance threshold can be used e.g. Wyrm Prime, Nautilus Prime, Panzer.

Wyrm Prime: https://overframe.gg/build/545608/

Additionally [Duplex Bond] works while in [Razorwing] meaning you can have up to three immortal sentinel clones that can perform passive priming if equipped with a good priming weapon.
