Excalibur is a good frame, but the problem is that he is a bit too squishy if you ask me.

How to survive? It is called "enemy specific loadouts". That means you use different mod setups for the 3 factions (Corpus, Grineer and Infected). Especially your melee weapon, since you can use "enemy specific damage increase" or use "diamond skin" to improve you damage resistance against laser weapons. But Vitality and Redirection are a must. My max level Excalibur runs around with 500/500 s/h and doesnt die very often. Melee weapon is Scindo, but I will switch to Gram as soon as it is finished.

If ppl only use unfused mods on an Excalibur it is only natural that they die at every corner later in the game.

But Rhino... Easy to use, very tough and his blueprints drop on the Venus boss so I totally recommend getting one. Just do me a favor and dont give him a bow, Sure, bow can be powerful and all, but it isnt really good at crowd control and needs a good aim. My recommendation: Boltor. It is one of the best weapons out there and easy to make.

Secondary... Anything that can dish out TONS of damage at short range if s*** hits the fan. I use the dual smg we got for free for the anniversary. Slap some mods on it, fuse them and you got an excellent close range damage dealing weapon. Just remember to keep an eye on the ammo, it runs out of ammo in no time at all
