Info

Excalibur expends 50 Energy to summon and raise his Exalted Blade, releasing an intense flash of light that affects enemies within 8 / 12 / 15 / 25 meters and Blind them for 7 / 10 / 12 / 15 seconds.
- Blinded enemies are vulnerable to melee finishers and susceptible to stealth damage bonus.
- Radial Blind will not affect enemies behind obstacles in the environment unless Excalibur has line of sight, or unless the enemy is aware of Excalibur within a short period of time (e.g., an enemy that spots Excalibur and runs out of view is still susceptible to Radial Blind if the ability is used within a small time frame).
Enemies affected by the ability are stunned for the entire duration.
- Bosses are still able to move, attack, or use abilities while affected by the ability.
- Bosses will attack the player's last known location and will follow the sound of gunfire.
- Successive casts will reduce the duration of the ability's effect on bosses.
Security cameras will deactivate their laser barriers for the duration.
Blinded enemies have smoke diffusing from their eyes or similar body part for the effect's duration.
Can be recast while active to blind multiple new enemies.
Subsuming Excalibur to the Helminth will offer Radial Blind and its augments to be used by other Warframes.

This ability can be used on some bosses to prevent them from using their abilities.

Bugs

If Excalibur managed to use an item (such as a Life Support in Survival) while casting the ability, Radial Blind will be cast twice: First, in a slowed animation and the second as the actual ability. Both animations still counts as a single Radial Blind.
