It will serve its niche better when we're facing whatever the hell is waiting for us in the future (maybe). Even then, the benefit of using it for Sentient resistances and not any Amp is that it's fully radial with a modifiable range.

If you think Umbra is better, use Umbra, it's not like you don't have it.

To indicate your founder status, simply equip Prime glyph, like you already did.

Primes were touted as "The first" and "The original" and "the best", speaking both lore wise and stat wise, this was pretty much always the case after they made the decision to have Primes be a general upgrade to their base counterparts.

Umbra goes directly against that.

at the end of the day, Umbra is a Prime, by appearance and by definition, therefore Umbra goes against nothing, he is simply a better Prime

The difference is pretty minor in the frames. Umbra is still better, but, it's not by a huge margin.

Umbra has two passives where as Excal has one.

Howl is probably better than Blind. But, that's kinda a situational one.

Meh built radial blind build as it casts faster than howl(double casting speed). Dishing out mucho damage exceeding many umbras, however against sentients I am helpless and only more endurable with transference.
