Excalibur (Warframe)

## Background

When the ancient warrior race of the Tenno awoke from their centuries-long sleep, they found themselves at war with several factions, including the Grineer, Corpus, Infested, and Sentients. While guided by the mysterious figure known as the Lotus, the Tenno fought back using bio-mechanical weaponized vessels known as Warframes. One of these Warframes is Excalibur, whose abilities are focused on bladed melee combat, but is also a master of guns and stealth.

## Equipment

* **Weapons:** Warframe's have access to over 500 different types of weapons including:
	+ **Skana:** The Skana is a standard issue sword for new Tenno recruits.
	+ **Lato:** The Lato is a standard issue pistol for new Tenno recruits. While its damage suffers, its good accuracy and stability as well as fast reload allows easy handling of the weapon.
	+ **Glaive:** The Glaive is a three-edged throwing blade that can be utilized as both a melee weapon and as a thrown weapon. If thrown, this weapon will bounce three times or travel a set duration before returning to its owner.
	+ **Glaxion:** The Glaxion is a  Corpus freeze ray which is the first primary weapon to feature Cold as its main damage type.
	+ **Nukor:** The Nukor is a Grineer sidearm that fires a microwave-like frequency beam that inflicts Radiation damage, boasting an extreme critical multiplier is heavily offset by its almost nonexistent critical chance.
	+ **Artemis Bow:** The Artemis Bow is Ivara's and Ivara Prime's signature Exalted Weapon, which can only be used upon activating the ability of the same name. It fires seven arrows at once in a vertical spread, which can be reoriented into a horizontal spread by holding down the fire button.
	+ **Dragon Nikana:** The Dragon Nikana is a powerful katana of Tenno design, acting as a direct upgrade of the Nikana.
	+ **Lanka:** The Lanka is a Corpus sniper rifle that uses a charged-shot mechanic and shoots Electricity projectiles. A fully charged shot boasts impressive damage, amplified by the weapon's high critical chance from zoom-ins, but is slow and somewhat inconsistent due to its slow charge speed and projectile travel time.
	+ **Ferrox:** The Ferrox is a Corpus Speargun introduced and wielded by Index broker Derim Zahn. The primary fire features a charged thin beam that deals high damage, complimented by its high critical stats. Its Alternate Fire tosses the Ferrox as far as 50 meters, creating an Electricity field where it lands and pulls enemies towards it.
	+ **Tigris:** The Tigris is a Tenno double-barrel shotgun. Being a duplex-automatic weapon, it has a unique firing mechanism, in that pressing and holding the fire button will fire one shell, while releasing the fire button will also fire a shell; tapping the attack button will fire two shells in rapid succession, thus making this weapon flexible against heavy and light enemies. It deals massive damage per shot, but its 2-round magazine and duplex-auto nature force a reload after every shot, limiting its effectiveness against groups of enemies.
	+ **Braton:** The Braton is a Tenno assault rifle with balanced damage, fire rate, and accuracy. It is a versatile rifle, performing effectively against all enemies without specialty.
	+ **Stropha:** The Stropha is a Corpus Gunblade with high damage, critical chance, and critical multiplier that shoots a single, wide but close-ranged shockwave.
	+ **Opticor:** The Opticor is a Corpus chargeable laser cannon. Featuring extremely high Puncture damage and a small area of effect Magnetic explosion on impact, the Opticor has the capability to decimate clusters of enemies with ease, but its slow charge time and average reload makes it less suited for fast moving or close range enemies.
	+ **Athodai:** Athodai is a Tenno hand-cannon that shoots long-ranged laser beams, with an Alternate Fire function that discharges all ammo to burst-fire in a short-ranged cone. Headshot kills with the primary fire increase the weapon's fire rate and grant infinite ammo, but locks out the Alternate Fire.
	+ **Bubonico:** The Bubonico is an Infested Shotgun Arm-Cannon that launches a barrage of Toxin blasts from its primary fire, while its Alternate Fire shoots three explosive Viral shots in a burst. The arm-cannon does not have ammo reserves, and instead regenerates ammo.
	+ **Falcor:** The Falcor is a Corpus glaive with Electricity properties.
	+ **Quartakk:** The Quartakk is a Grineer quad-barreled heavy burst rifle that fires 4 bullets simultaneously in a single burst. Its slow fire rate is compensated by possessing the second-highest burst damage of all burst-fire rifles (behind its Kuva variant), high accuracy and status chance, and good critical chance.
	+ **Corinth:** The Corinth is a large Tenno designed shotgun, featuring two firing modes. The primary fire is a powerful buckshot supported by incredible critical stats, while the Alternate Fire launches a grenade projectile that creates an 9.4-meter explosion after traveling for 20 meters in midair possessing high status chance.
	+ **Kuva Chakkhurr:** The Kuva Chakkhurr is a unique Kuva flintlock-styled rifle. It fires explosive rounds that deal immense damage, even more so on headshots, at the expense of a low fire rate, slow reload speed, and limited ammo reserves.
	+ **Prisma Grinlok:** The Prisma Grinlok is the Prisma variant of the Grinlok semi-automatic rifle featuring higher critical chance, critical multiplier, status chance, magazine, and different damage distribution, but lower accuracy.
* **Archwings:** The Archwing is an all-environment flight system of Orokin design used by a Tenno to fly and engage in combat in space, offering a potent mix of firepower and mobility to engage spaceborne enemies. Unlike Warframe's traditional land-bound gameplay, Archwing missions take place on a three-dimensional plane, offering nearly complete freedom of movement in all directions. Though intended for space use, the Archwing also has the ability to engage in both atmospheric (Plains of Eidolon, Orb Vallis, and Cambion Drift) and underwater (Grineer Sealab) combat.
