Excalibur umbra chromatic blade build tips

[Sefrokan]

Yo peop. I wanna ask for some help with building my excal.

I did the content up to whispers in the walls. No shards yet.

I wanna do as much content as possible with the following limitations:

- Base skill set - Don't wanna replace any skill with helminth stuff until I complete steel;

- No stat stick pseudo exalt - I know stat sticks and pseudo exalts are all the rage, but I wanna focus on the rest of excals arsenal. I suppose radial howl is a must fro intexception missions, so feel free to suggest stuff for that.

- Thematic gear - As umbra, I wanna keep skiajati as his melee. As a member of steel meridian, I wanna keep vaykor hek as a primary. Not sure on a properly themed secondary weapon, so feel free to suggest.

 

Please, feel free to be as vague or as specific as you'd like. I'd like goals of which to strive toward.

 

Tnx in advance.
