warframe umbra excalibur limited edition

#Warframe umbra excalibur limited edition mods#

Personally, I would pick the latter build once I get enough Endo so that I won't shunt my Excalibur at any point in time. More Forma consumed, regardless of build and if Prime or non-Prime variantīasically, this is trading 6% Power Strength (or 99.5% Status Chance vs 100%), some Forma and Endo for much better ability to survive and sustain your Exalted Blade. The overall difference in stats are as follows However, substituting Vitality and Intensify with their Umbral variants, and adjusting accordingly gave us this build instead: I've tried building Excalibur using all three Umbra mods, but so much Drain is used up to a point that nothing great can really be built from it. Before the release of Excalibur Umbra, a Quick Thinking + Rage build for Excalibur would look like so: Suppose we'll use one of the more common Quick Thinking + Rage build that Excalibur users have.

However, this doesn't stop Excalibur from using Umbral Mods, so let's check how much we can push Excalibur. We can then say that Umbra's biggest advantage are his Umbra polarities. There are a vocal some that would rather have those replaced with the non Sacrificial variants

Sacrificial mods on Exalted Blade doesn't grant that big of an advantage compared to the Umbra mods on the Warframe. With the AI not being that great, the last point doesn't really hold up as a real advantage, especially since Umbra can be damaged during this Currently, only Sentients and Shadow Stalker can use damage resistances, which is composed of at most 5% of the content that most players engage in, and that's being generous Radiant Howl's animation lasts much longer than Radiant Blind's. If we remove those two points, Excalibur Prime has the following advantages instead: The first two points only apply for Excalibur base, while Prime also has those similar stats.

Second ability (Radiant Blind) replaced with Radiant Howl, which blinds and removes any active damage resistances.Įxcalibur Umbra can remain active during Transference, providing support using his abilities and weapons. Umbral mods themselves aren't exclusive to Excalibur Umbra, only the polarities are. Once Excalibur Umbra came into picture, basically everyone has agreed that Excalibur Umbra surpasses Excalibur in most aspects. Excalibur Umbra has the following as an advantage:Įxclusive use of three Umbra ( ) polarities on Warframe and two on Exalted Blade. There are some builds that have less Power Strength while utilizing Status Chance mods on their weapons, but I won't be delving into that. Once you've had that, most people would build however they want to. If I was not mistaken, the 'meta' for Excalibur was Chromatic Blade at 180% Power Strength. I've always used my Excalibur the most once Super Jump was replaced with Exalted Blade (thank goodness.) I took a long break once I got my hands on Excalibur Umbra and now that I'm back, I'm wondering if there is still some use to my beloved Excalibur, especially since I have the Prime variant. This is a perfect idea, but would only really work for people to be able to choose if they bring back Excal Prime (explained above)įounders already paid for excal prime, why keep give them something new totally for free? If umbra is released as some kind of 'supporters pack exclusive' (even tough it could maim many players hopes and dreams for an enhanced Excalibur, it's very likely and even acceptable) they should have to pay (again) as every player instead of getting it for free.I'm an avid Excalibur fan. Just in case I didn't clarify, Excal Umbra would still be available for purchase for everyone else But I've heard that if they did bring back Excal Prime, DE could be fined for false advertising. I'm not too bothered either way, but honestly I would like to see Excalibur prime come back. Keep in mind that I am NOT a founder, but I just think this may be fair.

That way, the founders still have exclusive content earlier and easier than everyone else, and the rest of us still have the opportunity to catch up. I feel like as soon as I say this, someone's gonna try to throw hydrofluoric acid (nasty stuff) in my face, but in order to combat this whole, 'founders being pissed off and non-founders wanting excal p,' maybe they should give the Umbra skin/frame to the founders for free, and then make Excalibur Prime available to the general public - but only for purchase and once the game has built up a larger playerbase so that it's fair on the founders and we significantly cut down on future saltiness in the forums. Umbra is a little better, but I think they should just get rid of his stat bonuses over Excalibur Prime and give him the same stats Excalibur Prime has now so most everyone will be happy. It's nice to see that this still holds up ^ ^ ^
