Easy suggestion would be to use his 2, Radial Howl. It doesn't seem like much at first, but when soloing or surrounded, it's a lifesaver. Excal isn't very tanky naturally, but does have two methods to stop damage flow. First is mentioned above, just using radial howl. Blinds are one of the best CCs to have on a melee focused warframe, and it significantly increases your odds of survival against enemies you're not one shotting with Exalted Blade. Second is one that is extremely useful, but sometimes finnicky. Excal's 1, Blade Dash, does damage to enemies hit by the dash and its bounces, but also makes you invulnerable. The issue is that the dash doesn't actually have a very big hitbox, which means that if you panic and aim it wrong, you would get much less time invulnerable.
