Talk:Excalibur (Warframe)/@comment-24.16.26.202-20130501090939

I've used excalibur since the beginning and it's always been a really good offensive frame. I consistently get the most kills and dmg per game with this frame.

Slash and dash is probably the best first ability of all the warframes. Lvl 3 SnD does 1500 dmg to small infested and 500 dmg to pretty much everything else (not sure why it is so much more dmg than what the wiki says). With Lvl 5 Continuity, the slide range is increased to about 21 meters and you can deal max damage to any number of enemies in your path. That is a ton of dmg for base 25 energy. I pretty much use slash and dash constantly on defense maps and rarely run out of energy.

I don't see much love out there for Radial Blind but I recently started using it and its really good for stunning a group of enemies that are overwhelming you; giving you a chance to break contact and recharge (Slash and Dash is also good for this but sometimes you can't slide through tight groups of enemies and it doesn't stop them from shooting you).

I haven't found a reason to use Super Jump. I'm most likely going to leave that slot empty and use the mod slots to upgrade my other mods.

Radial Javelin is good but its really expensive energy wise. I only use it when I'm in the middle of a large group of enemies that slash and dash wouldn't handle as efficiently.
