Excalibur + Dual Zoren / dual cleavers build + naramon (Warframe Patch 18)

This build, in my opinion, is good for dealing fairly big amount of damage using melee and is safe to use since it provides you with some kind of immortality as long as you don't forget to use channeling to regain your health, combine this with the new Excalibur's skill (Exalted Blade - 4) you will be immortal as long as you dish out a lot more damage than you take.

I use dual zoren because of it's utility and burst damage and also it's critical values.

Another build is the body count + blood rush combo, with the surging dash augment for faster melee counter increment. Naramon greatly helps with killing nullifiers, but even if the invisibility in naramon is nerfed or disabled, you can still use this build for endless solo runs no problem.

Excalibur + Dual Zoren build (Warframe 16.9.1.1)

So This build enables you to go into YOLO mode almost the same as valkyr and can still deal good amount of damage, also this allows you to deal damage even from a long distance because of the Exalted Blade.


Will max out transient fortitude and vitality.

I was able to successfully solo one 35 minutes T4 survival whilst holding the decaying key, with a huge luck, also killed Vor in less than 3 seconds (with radial blind). Don't let your Exalted blade stops because of nullifiers or lack of energy.

Excalibur + surging dash build + blood rush + body count + naramon ability (Warframe patch 18)

This build is my 2nd go to solo survival build for excal since the new patch with the stalker mod drops, which are blood rush and body count. Was able to solo T4 survival with ease 40+ min (with the naramon invisibility), you can still solo it for 40 + min without the invisibility but you'd need to be more active with the dash and parkouring, since using slash dash will make you invincible for a brief second whilst the skill is active.

Warframe, will grant you more melee counter if you equip surging dash + higher str, scales up with your str %


Weapon, i have the prisma dual cleaver so i'll use that since it has more status chance than dual zoren, but a dual zoren is also as good as the prisma dual cleaver because of the attack speed(crazy).
You can also switch your melee weapon with a dagger that has a decent crit chance and fitted with a covert lethality, so you'll be able to 1 finisher kill any humanoid eximus at later games in the endless mission.

Result
playing this with the naramon invisible for a couple of seconds ability, please reaching this combo counter needs a lot of time, don't nerf this. It's a shame that 200% red crit is the cap, wish it was limitless.

Don't nerf, since this 1 is not a boring build for excal apart from the CC radial blind build and finisher kills.

Yeah, i am currently using a dakra prime weapon with the new build, this build is for people without enough MR to get to the relay in pluto.

Nice guide, although I recommend using a jaw sword, skana, or nikana for a melee weapon. The base weapon stats do not affect Exalted Blade, only the mods do. By using long swords it activates excaliburs innate ability for +10% dmg and +10% attack speed bonus.

Done
