Understand Excalibur Prime
Useful when…
- Using swords to meet the passive's stated condition for increased damage and attack speed.
- Blinding nearby enemies with Radial Blind.
- Using Radial Javelin to impale nearby enemies and inflict Slash Status.
- Summoning Exalted Blade, whose slashes inflict Slash Status.
Abilities and passive
Slash Dash sends Excalibur Prime through enemies alongside a radial specter; its description does not specify a Slash Status effect. Radial Blind emits a flash that blinds nearby enemies. Radial Javelin impales nearby enemies and inflicts Slash Status. Exalted Blade summons a sword of pure light and immense power, and its slashes inflict Slash Status. The passive increases damage and attack speed when wielding swords; its percentage values are unspecified.
Sword combat and crowd control
The passive's stated condition is wielding swords. Radial Blind blinds nearby enemies, and Radial Javelin and Exalted Blade have separately described Slash effects. Slash Dash is described as a dash through enemies alongside a radial specter, without a specified Slash Status effect.
Prime stats and configuration
Excalibur Prime has 270 Health, 270 Shield, 315 Armor, and 175 Power. Its listed polarities are Vazarin and two Madurai polarities, with a Madurai aura. Regular Excalibur has 270 Health, 270 Shield, and 240 Armor, and lists Vazarin and Madurai polarities. The comparison description says Prime has the same abilities as Excalibur.
Comparison with Umbra
Excalibur Umbra lists 315 Armor, 270 Health, and 270 Shield, matching Excalibur Prime's listed values for those stats. Its supplied description does not specify an ability kit. Excalibur Prime's ability description and stats are provided separately in its record.
Limitations and tradeoffs
- The passive applies when wielding swords.
- The passive's damage and attack-speed values are unspecified.
- The Prime polarity layout describes configuration, not a required build.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Assuming Slash Dash inflicts Slash Status; its description does not say so.
- Expecting the sword passive while wielding a non-sword weapon.
- Treating unspecified passive percentages as known values.
- Assuming Umbra's brief description establishes its ability details.
