EB Excalibur???

[PlayStationOnexxxXIV]

What Mods Should I Run in Excalibur Frame ???

What Mods Should I Run in Melé Weapon ??? (I Use Skana for the Purity Mod +100% Damage)

[Kalvorax]

Uses a few forma (about 4-5) but its very solid...i use it with my nikana prime or my dragon nikana (if i need/want different builds)..but the weapon doesnt matter for EB...though a sword/nikana/dual swords would be best to make use of excal's passive

"Electronics Boutique" Excalibur?

[(XBOX)EternalDrk Mako]

never formad mine 

dont really see a reason with umbra to come someday 

in all honesty just focus on the basics range, strength, efficiency , duration is ok at 95% 

key to remember is that melee mods effect it, life strike can be good

I use corrosive to aide with slash is fun 

mods that dont help

-body count 

-blood rush 

-maiming strike( cant remember ?)

also  excal passive is useful with swords

aura steel charge + coation drift can be a good combo to take advantage of 

EDIT

also note mods specific to weapons [like purity] dont effect exalted blade

This is the EB build I use

Originally I was running Vitality to use with life Strike which I find superior to QT, eHP Vs. massive recovery speed. Since I don't run Lifestrike anymore it could be fine either way. You may like Steel Fiber to make him a little more durable at lower levels but at higher levels it doesn't make much difference. You become entirely dependent on Blind or Invisibility to stay alive.

This is the Gas build for the weapon:

Gas build is very strong when used with both invisibility and Blind but it's also energy demanding. I tend to use it because I also use Arcane Energize so there's no energy problem but for long term endurance runs you may very well find yourself starved for energy, esp solo where less enemies spawn.

This is the Status Corrosive/Blast build for the weapon.

This is the less energy dependent status build that does not fully rely on Blind in order to do damage. When enemies are knocked down via Blast proc they take Stealth multiplier damage as they get back up which simulates both the CC and the DPS boost of blind without using energy.

I also have a Crit setup but there's no point in using it as long as stealth multipliers double dip. (1 year and counting)

Does Drifting Contact actually work with Exalted Blade?  I was under the impression that was a bug...

That said, I'm using Xzorn's second Nikana Prime build (Life Strike <==> Drifting Contact), with this Excalibur build:

http://warframe-builder.com/Warframes/Builder/Excalibur/t_30_4440220020_2-2-10-3-8-5-5-3-5-6-6-5-12-5-10-19-1-10-49-0-10-55-7-5-479-4-10-615-9-5_49-8-19-7-2-6-5-9-479-7-12-8-6-11-55-11-3-18-615-9_0/en/1-0-5

I'm also running Naramon, so the crit and stealth from there help with survivability.

Currently DE has said it is a bug...though i do not know if the status chance affects EB.
