The allrounder nature of our favorite swordsman makes him a great pick for basically every mission so investing some time to get the best [Excalibur Umbra] build pays for itself very quickly.
That's why I have created this [Excalibur Umbra] Build which is based around [Exalted Blade] (4) in combination with [Howl] (2) and here’s why:
We all know [Howl] blinds enemies around you and most of us know that it also opens enemies up to finishers. These two things are already great as they help with survivability and allow you to one-shot high priority targets like Bombards. But there’s more. What most people don’t know about [Howl] is that it actually triggers stealth damage bonus, too! While enemies are blinded, you are considered to be in stealth because they cannot detect you. As a result, you gain 700% damage bonus on all your attacks and not just finishers! Unfortunately, it stacks additively with critical hits rather than multiplicatively.
