Hmmn. Radial Blind is LITERALLY the only good thing Excaliber has, (even with ability augments). Then DE nerfs it to be weaker than similar abilites (Radial Disarm, Chaos, Molecular Prime, Miasma, Bladestorm, Silence, Avalanche, Tempest Barrage/Undertow/Tentacle Swarm, Catacalysm, Decoy, Molt, Shooting Gallery, Shield Polarize/Crush, Desecrate/Terrify, Slight of Hand, Anitmatter Drop, Absorb, Reckoning, Rhino Stomp, Warcry/Paralysis, Bastille/Vortex, Tail Wind/Dive Bomb/Turbulence/Tornado, Overload)

Pull, Peacemaker, Prism, Tesla, Shock and Null Star are the only other abilities I can think of that have the environmental obstacle limitation. Mag has Crush and Shield Polarize that are not, Mesa has Shooting Gallery that is not, Volt has Overload that is not, Nova has both MPrime and AMD that are not. '''Every. Single. Other. Frame. That has these limitation. Has one or more other abilities for CC/Damage that do not.'''  Excalibro literally has nothing in his kit except Radial Disarm, and it even has a decently long cast animation, it's not exactly instant. Slash dash? Non-scaling and low damage, and the augment is total shit it's basically just a way to move fast if you mod it right. Super Jump? I guess you can use it with Heavy Impact for a bit of damage and CC, but the damage is low, scales poorly, is of a weak type, and the CC is notoriously unreliable, not to mention that modding for Super Jump is exactly how NOT to mod for any of Excal's other abilities. Radial Javelin? Relatively weak damage, and even the augment is just kind of meh. '''He's literally got two weak mobility moves that don't even combo with each other, and a pure damage move that is weak, which can be a poor melee buff move with the augment. He's got nothing but Radial Blind, for all intents and purposes.'''
