Release Date: August 7th, 2015
Excalibur Umbra Prime is the Founder exclusive Warframe for the Chinese build and serves as a stand-in for Excalibur Prime, which was only available in the Global build. It was released along with Spira Prime and Nikana Prime.
The visual likeness of the Warframe was later added to the Global build as Excalibur Umbra in Update 23.0 (2018-06-15). By contrast to Excalibur Umbra, Umbra Prime retains the Sentience passive but does not have access to Radial Howl (uses Radial Blind), and has lower armor. By contrast to other Primes, Umbra Prime lacks the Death Orb energy passive.
Acquisition[]
Excalibur Umbra Prime was originally purchasable by players of WARFRAME (China), with or without Spira Prime and Nikana Prime, as part of the China Founders pack. This offer is no longer available.
The China Founders' program was closed alongside the release of The Sacrifice in WARFRAME (China) on April 11th, 2019. China Founders were compensated with an Umbra-exclusive Excalibur Umbra Therion Helmet, corresponding light and dark Glyphs of the helmet, a Legendary Core, and an Excalibur Umbra Noggle.
Notes[]
- Excalibur Umbra Prime, compared to Excalibur:
- Unlike Excalibur Umbra, Excalibur Umbra Prime's stats and abilities are slightly lower than Excalibur Prime's, with respect to armor.
- Just like Excalibur Prime, Excalibur Umbra Prime's Exalted Blade has a form similar to Skana Prime, but dark "Umbra" version.
- Players who purchased the Founders pack would have received the WARFRAME (China)-exclusive Gauvan Prime Sekhara, regardless of the pack's tier.
