Warframe has plenty of characters to meet, planets to visit, and missions to complete, but to uncover more mysteries in the Sol System, you'll need an arsenal that can handle that. For that very reason, you will be able to craft and master a lot of different firearms, swords, and even bows.

PostsOne of the best bows in the game is the Daikyu, a weapon that can work perfectly as a solitary tool by sniping enemies with ease, but also possesses a special synergy with the Nikana sword family thanks to a certain Amalgam mod. Here's all you need to know about it.
How To Obtain Every Daikyu Variant
The standard version of Daikyu's blueprint can be researched from the Tenno Lab in the dojo. Once the research is finished, the weapon can be crafted with the following materials:
Daikyu Research Requirements
3 Neurodes
500 Salvage
300 Polymer Bundle
50 Rubedo
Credit Cost: 5,000
Build Time: 72 Hours
Daikyu Crafting Requirements
1 Neurodes
1 Forma
300 Rubedo
1,200 Salvage
Credit Cost: 20,000
Build Time: 12 Hours
Crafting The Daikyu Prime
The Daikyu Prime can be obtained by opening Void Relics in Void Fissure Missions. On top of the weapon Blueprint, you will need four components (grip, string, lower limb, and upper limb), and each component drops from the following Relics:
- Blueprint: Lith Q2 (Common)
- Grip: Neo D10 (Rare)
- String: Axi V12 (Common)
- Lower Limb: Lith A8 (Uncommon)
- Upper Limb: Meso P16 (Uncommon)
All four parts may be traded with other players, so obtaining the Daikyu Prime should generally be easier than earning its non-Prime counterpart. Crafting the Daikyu Prime requires the following materials:
Akarius Prime Crafting Requirements
1 Daikyu Prime Grip
2 Daikyu Prime String
1 Daikyu Prime Lower Limb
1 Daikyu Prime Upper Limb
Credit Cost: 15,000
Build Time: 12 Hours

This build aims to take care of two things: first, the Daikyu potential as a solo weapon, and then, Daikyu as part of a larger arsenal. The Amalgam Daikyu Target Acquired mod lets you steal HP with every single attack from your Nikana, which improves your survivability quite significantly, and the fact that it only takes one slot away doesn't lower your chances of making this bow work by itself.
For that very reason, we're going to aim to improve its Critical Chance percentage and the Critical Damage Multiplier, which is why Hammer Shot, Critical Delay, Vital Sense, and Vile Acceleration are here.
To deal with the negative dip on Damage that Vile Acceleration brings, you will use Primary Merciless as the Arcane, and then Amalgam Serration and any Bane mod to improve your offensive capabilities even more. Overall, a well-rounded build that will allow you to hit critical attacks constantly while also letting you survive in higher levels.
