Sadly Excalibur is kind of a middle tier frame. I say this as someone who has a chromatic blade steel path excalibur build. I play steel path with him mostly as a joke (I have him fashionframed to look like a MR0 noob) but it's a struggle at times because he lacks a truly good survival ability. Radial Blind can help take some pressure off, but he lacks the armor, shields, health, or damage reducing abilities that allow other frames to soak heavy damage.
Additionally outside of very specific niche builds (E.G. previously mentioned chromatic blade) his damage potential is weak. He lacks the large area nuke capabilities of someone like Saryn or Volt, and has minimal utility (mostly just radial blind).
He's not useless, and there are definitely worse frames out there, but he's not going to be anyone's top pick either. Pretty much any viable builds with him are going to end up being very melee focused with all the advantages and disadvantages that implies.
Just FYI, Chromatic Blade actually replaces the slash damage with element on the Exalted Blade. I’ve been running Furious Javelin since I found out about that.
Yeah I know that, you just need to go all in on the elemental damage and status mods. It pairs well with some weapon builds that don't do much damage on their own but splash a bunch of status debuffs. Stacking a few different status and then smacking them with chromatic blade can really dish out some hefty damage numbers.
The invincibility frames on his 1 can help with survival but it really doesn't have enough power to handle Steel Path unfortunately, plus can't be used in a lot of harder or boss fights. I do think his abilities could use a buff across the board but that will be a long time if ever coming
