Enkaus is a weapon that can do wonders when modded well, especially with the combination of its primary and alternate attacks that make it easy to clear out groups of enemies.
Combining the ability to fire a steady beam of ink and dousing multiple targets in ink, you can easily trigger the unique trait of this weapon to fire a seemingly infinite beam of destruction.
Depending on how you mod Enkaus, missions can become much easier, and enemies that get in your way are sure to drop one by one in quick succession.
Warframe: Enkaus Builds
1) Critical Build
Our Critical Build for Enkaus features Heavy Caliber for increased damage, but this can be later swapped to reduce the penalty on accuracy, depending on what mod you would like to swap it for.
Critical Delay and Vital Sense have been added to improve the chances and damage of Critical Hits, while Speed Trigger and Galvanized Chamber have been added to get more damage over time.
Stormbringer and Hellfire have been added to give you Radiation Damage, but these elements can be swapped out for other elemental combinations.
2) Status Build
Enkaus has a decent starting Status Chance, which is further increased by adding High Voltage, Rime Rounds, Malignant Force, and Thermite Rounds.
You may want to arrange these properly if you plan on having different elemental combinations, and when it comes to Status Chance, this has been boosted to 134.4% to punish enemies.
The combination of damage and guaranteed Status Effects makes it easy to not only weaken your enemies but also eliminate them quickly with tons of damage and the addition of the ink effects.

3) Hybrid Build
Combining both Critical Mods and Status Mods, this build is made for inflicting Status Effects and dealing high amounts of damage in a short amount of time.
The 4 Elemental Damage and Status Chance Mods have been added to bring Status Chance to 108.8%, which guarantees Status Effects are often inflicted.
Critical Damage will also happen regularly, making it great for adding an extra punch to your attacks to quickly finish off enemies or drag their health down for instant kills if they are doused in ink.
4) Headshot Build
Focusing mainly on headshots, this build provides you with a decent amount of damage due to Primary Acuity, which provides more damage, Weak Spot Damage, and Weak Spot Critical Chance.
Combined with this build is Vital Sense and Critical Delay, giving you the chance to deal even more damage when you focus on Weak Spots and get Critical Hits in.
Primed Shred has been added to the build for increased Rate of Fire, while Galvanized Scope also gives you a bonus to Critical Chance to make the build even deadlier.
Verdict
Enkaus becomes a completely different weapon once you build around its ink mechanics, turning every encounter into a steady flow of escalating damage that feels incredibly smooth to use.
Its ability to wipe groups, punish tougher enemies, and adapt to different elemental setups makes it reliable in almost any mission without feeling stale or repetitive.
With the right mods and a bit of investment, Enkaus delivers a satisfying mix of control, consistency, and raw destructive output that only gets better as enemies scale.
