This is my [Excalibur] build, and it works very well in Steel Path. [Archon Vitality] because I am using a Heat [Exalted Blade] and FIreblast, it needs two casts to 100% armor strip. 189% Strength is needed for a 100% status chance so I am using Molt Agumented with archon shard supplements. * Equip 2 Strength shards to obtain the 189% STR needed for a 100% status chance, then as many melee critical shards as you have. The Focus school to use is Madurai for Casting Speed and 40% STR on Chained Slings or Zenurik for +20% STR on Hardened Wellspring and a stronger energy economy.

Tip: Slide attack during [Exalted Blade] to cast Radial Blind for half the energy cost. It also offers some Crowd Control and opens up for melee finishers.

Here is the blade I use: Viral + Heat Exalted Blade: https://overframe.gg/build/510200

Enjoy 😁

Note: [Ember] drops from General Sarduk, the boss that gives orokin cells. Feed her to Helmnith, you can get Helmnith at level 3 standing from Deimos from Son. The archon and Primed mods aren't needed so you can use their regular version. When you do get them, they will aid you in scaling into the late game. Instead of [Adaptation] or [Rolling Guard], you can consider something else inside the regular star chart, I used to use [Augur Secrets]. [Chromatic Blade] can be obtained from Arbiters of Hexis or Steel Meridian. Arcanes drop from Edielion Hydrolyst.
