Excalibur (Warframe)

Excalibur is a major character from the Warframe series.
== Charactah Account ==
Excalibur epitomizes the warrior spirit. His master swordsmanship deals high damage. He is the embodiment of martial excellence.
One of the three starting Warframes, Excalibur has a balanced set of abilities. His damaging Dash Attack, blinding crowd control, ethereal longsword, and high damage remain viable at most stages of play while his stats give him the perfect mix of mobility and durability to ease a new player into the game.

== Trivia ==
* Excalibur is named after the legendary sword of King Arthur. Many of Excalibur's alternate helmets feature names based off Arthurian legend.
* Excalibur is similar in design to Hayden Tenno's suit from Digital Extremes' previous game Dark Sector. This is further reinforced with the Proto-Armor Skin, which is a near-exact copy of that very suit.
* Excalibur costs less  Platinum to purchase him outright than to rush construction of the components and main blueprint.
* Excalibur is the first of two Warframes with an unpolarized Aura slot,  Nekros being the second.
* An Excalibur is shown being ripped apart by Alad V while wearing the Pendragon Helmet and the Immortal Skin in "The Profit", a trailer for the PS4 release of WARFRAME.
* Prior to Update 14, Excalibur would use his equipped melee weapon when casting his abilities, regardless if it was impractical (casting  Radial Javelin with a  Galatine), nonsensical ( Slash Dashing with the  Kogake) or impossible (using any of his abilities without a melee weapon equipped). Update 14 changed this by making him generate an ethereal  Skana when using his abilities, rather than using his melee weapon.
** If there was no melee weapon equipped, then Excalibur would use the currently equipped weapon. (i.e. Radial Javelin with a  Braton). Humorously, ethereal copies of that weapon would appear upon using Radial Javelin.
* Before Hotfix 22.8.3, Excalibur parts blueprints dropped from Ambulas on Hades, Pluto. This is now the drop location of  Trinity.
* In Update 23.0, Excalibur's  Exalted Blade received a physical form to allow for customization, replacing its previous form which was made from pure energy.
** The same update also allowed players to directly mod Exalted Blade.
* According to the Official Tenno Alphabet Cipher, the design on Excalibur's right shoulder is in fact a word that spells out "Hayden Tenno". The same word can be found on top of Excalibur's head.
* Excalibur's default helmet was added to the real-time strategy game Airmech as a victory gesture after Warframe beating Airmech in a vote of popularity between the two.
** This was originally intended to be Excalibur Prime's default helmet, however the reason for this change is unknown.
* Excalibur's default helmet (along with the default helmets of Loki and Chroma) are available as unlockable antenna toppers in Rocket League.
* Having 12 alternate helmets, Excalibur has the most alternate helmets out of any Warframe, with Excalibur Prime's being exclusive.
* Excalibur has the most variations out of any Warframe: base, Excalibur Prime (Founder's exclusive), Excalibur Umbra, and Excalibur Umbra Prime (Warframe China Exclusive).
