Excalibur Umbra vs Excalibur Prime – Warframe

Excalibur Umbra vs Excalibur Prime

I am a little embittered. Only a little.

Yes, their stats are identical – but those polarities, and those mods… Umbra is a direct and massive upgrade from Prime.

Of course, he requires no small Endo investment, but with my current Excalibur setup (which I copied onto my Umbra) leads to this:

NOTE: Umbra Mods are still Rank 5, the base rank they come as – so not even upgraded yet.

  • 15 less armour (Steel Fiber is Max Rank on Excal P)
  • 20 less HP (Vitality is Max Rank on Excal P)
  • 6% extra Ability Strength (Intensify is Max Rank on Excal P)
  • 12 remaining mod slots (Excalibur Prime has 4 remaining – no Exilus Mod) – this allows for Power Drift (21% total extra Ability Strength).

Now, let’s Forma them both and upgrade Excalibur Umbra’s mods:

  • Excalibur Umbra has 36% Extra Ability Strength.
  • Excalibur Umbra has 82.5% Extra Armour (247.5 extra Armour).
  • Excalibur Umbra has 330% Extra HP (330 extra HP).

This is with the exact same mod setup – only Umbra mods instead of normal mods. It’s ridiculous. I know DE wanted to satisfy non-Founders, but leaving Prime in the dirt (despite buffing his armour) is kind of annoying. I usually delete obsolete frames, such as regular versions that I have Primed, because they’re using up space and I’ll never both using them (obviously).

I’m not going to delete Excalibur Prime, but he now serves no purpose at all. He’s better than normal Excalibur sure, but he’s completely obsolete in the face of Umbra (unless you run without Vitality or Steel Fiber, which I do not). Excalibur is one of the few frames I run with all 3 ‘main’ Warframe mods (Redirection, Vitality, Steel Fiber) because he still performs really well against 120 Corrupted Heavy Gunner’s with those equipped.

Umbra leaving Prime in the dust is not how the future Umbras should be approached.
