Understand Excalibur
Useful when…
- Use a sword to meet the passive’s stated condition for increased damage and attack speed.
- Blind nearby enemies with Radial Blind.
- Use Radial Javelin or Exalted Blade when their described Slash effects fit the fight.
What the abilities do
Slash Dash sends Excalibur 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 ability descriptions provide no numerical damage or scaling values.
When the sword passive applies
Excalibur’s passive increases damage and attack speed when he is wielding swords. This makes sword use the clear condition to consider when choosing him for a build.
Stats and configuration
Excalibur has 270 Health, 270 Shield, 240 Armor, and 100 Power. His listed mod polarities are Vazarin and Madurai. These details describe his base configuration; they do not establish a particular build’s performance.
Related Excalibur variants
Excalibur Prime lists 315 Armor with the same listed Health and Shield as Excalibur, and its description says it shares Excalibur’s abilities while having unique mod polarities. Excalibur Umbra also lists 315 Armor, 270 Health, and 270 Shield, but the supplied description does not establish its abilities. These comparisons do not establish which variant a player can currently obtain.
Limitations and tradeoffs
- The passive’s stated condition is wielding swords; its percentage values are unspecified.
- The ability descriptions do not provide numerical damage or scaling.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Assuming Slash Dash inflicts Slash Status; its description does not say so.
- Assuming the sword passive applies while wielding any weapon type.
- Treating unspecified passive percentages as known values.
- Assuming the brief Umbra description establishes its abilities.
