A "thrust attack" is a melee strike that intends to hit an enemy with the tip of the blade (the rounded edge of obround melee hitbox). A "360/spin attack" is a sliding sweep attack that hits targets around the player (not always in a 360° arc, but is usually above 180°). A "direct slam attack" is a melee strike that hits a single target at the epicenter of a slam attack. Affected by the Seismic Wave mod. A "radial slam attack" is the area-of-effect component of the melee slam attack. Affected by the Seismic Wave mod. A "ranged attack" is any melee attack that launches a ranged projectile or can hit targets beyond melee range. View Full Legend Average Damage Multiplier per second only applies to single-target DPS calculations. Note that hits marked as "Radial Slam Attack" will not apply at the epicenter of a single target hit so these will not be accounted for in Avg Dmg Multi/s calculations. Combo animation lengths are approximate and are only accurate within a few tenths of a second. Each tile marking in stance preview gifs are 2m apart. Combos labeled with an asterisk (*) are shared between weapons within the same weapon type.

Acquisition

• Exalted Blade is a unique stance that can only be temporarily obtained through the use of  Excalibur's  Exalted Blade. There are no other possible methods to obtain this stance.

Notes

• Judged Severance will make Excalibur perform a  Radial Blind after the slide attack. This Radial Blind has less range and duration than the standard ability, and lacks the ability to open blinded enemies to finisher attacks, but otherwise has the same effect on enemies, and still costs Energy.
• This stance can not be ranked up manually and instead ranks up with the ability rank of  Exalted Blade. There is also no benefit to ranking up the stance.
• Weightless Steel and Death's Mark, despite being featured on all Swords, are the only attacks that don't feature the Exalted Blade's waves.

Trivia

• Exalted Blade is one of five identified stance mods that are exclusive to a Warframe instead of a weapon type, the other four being  Valkyr's  Hysteria,  Wukong's  Primal Fury,  Baruuk's  Serene Storm, and  Sevagoth's  Exalted Shadow.

Bugs

• The damage of Exalted Blade's energy waves is based on the damage multiplier of the combo that Excalibur is currently performing AS the energy wave hits, and NOT based on the attack that actually created the energy wave. For example, if you shoot an energy wave with Lancing Justice (100% damage) and then start the first attack of Cutting Poise (300% damage) right before the wave hits, the energy wave will deal 300% damage despite being created by an attack with a 100% damage multiplier. If Excalibur is not currently performing any attack when a wave hits, the wave will deal 100% damage regardless of what attack created the wave.
