EXCALIBUR UMBRA Build (257% strength) Archon shards for duration

The vast majority of my builds are designed to help others, but are also designed for me as reference points to know how I want to build my weapons. And I'm aware that the simulacrum exists, but unlike most of you that will give me shit in the comments, I have a life outside of this game. So this is what. I use when I'm not playing. I'M FULLY AWARE THERE ARE BETTER BUILDS FOR THINGS LIKE STEEL PATH, LEAVE IT ALONE!

This is the build that I run for my screaming sword boye. Since Excalibur Umbra is a quest frame and is also a Chinese exclusive brought to us by DE instead of un-vaulting [Excalibur Prime] along with founders being upset because of the fact that Excalibur Prime was a way for DE to make money to support the game in its earlier days. But, Excalibur Umbra is objectively stronger because of his preset mods for him and his Exalted Umbra Blade.

This is more or less a build for Steel Path, Sorties and arbitrations. I am willing to bet that someone has a better build than this, but this is a build for pure strength and above average range with optimal duration for radial [Howl]. The reason I use Energy Conversion is when you use radial [Howl], then pick up an energy orb and then use Exalted Umbral Blade it will buff the strength of all the melee attacks.

I would put a few crimson archon shards into strength if you don't have [Growing Power], but if you do, try it anyway. As well as a few into energy max. If you have the grindset. On the note of the Veilbreaker update with the [Excalibur] rework. It should carry over to Umbra, if radial javelin is much more viable I would put roar in place of slash dash.
For the shards that I put in I put in three crimson, two for duration, and melee crit damage. For my two amber shards I put in one for energy orb effectiveness and the other into casting speed purely to spam radial [Howl].

But [Excalibur] can do some deeps again in light of his rework. His [Exalted Blade] can also benefit from [Archon Vitality] so that it can do doubled heat damage. So you don't necessarily need to change anything in helminth. But I only did for this config and put roar in place of slash dash to make umbra the ultimate screaming buffing machine, hence why I called this loadout "screamo".

If you ever think of subsuming [Excalibur] for any reason, I would not recommend it. It's a waste of resources that you'll never get back from feeding helminth. And let's be honest, slash dash from all of [Excalibur]'s variants is just a damaging mobility tool that barely does any damage that has the same problem that I mentioned with radial javelin. That doesn't necessarily mean that [Excalibur] is useless, it's just that those two abilities are only situationally useful.

I know that nechramech's are inherently better for both, and that radial [Howl] doesn't strip resistances of eidolons, but this is just how I like to play. Instead of Arcane tanker I would recommend Arcane Guardian to keep Umbra's armor up, or Arcane Avenger to synergies with Exalted Umbral Blade.

Keep in mind that this is how I build MY weapon's an warframe's, they work really well for me, so if you are one of those people that is going to to go into the comments and give me shit is to how I play the game, I will kindly ask you to put a tooth pick under your toenail and kick a wall. JOKINGLY OF COURSE.

If you do decide to follow my builds don't get butthurt if your numbers aren't the same, all the riven's are the ones that "I have rolled" so don't psyche yourself out if you don't get a riven that is a good as the ones in my builds.

Be sure to take a look at my other builds. I also recommend looking at the vault status of all prime variants in the second link below. If you want information on the quests and the requirements, I recommend looking on the actual Warframe website under the game dropbox to look at the warframe profile videos as well as looking at the quest guide and the faction types.
