It replaced the destroyed Caliburn, and its sheath, Avalon, provided partial immortality for its wielder. She eventually lost Avalon, and replaced it with Invisible Air, which she uses during the Holy Grail Wars to hide the sword and her identity. While it takes time to figure out the Noble Phantasms and identities of other Servants, Lancer is able to deduce her as King Arthur from only a glance at the sword, claiming that any Heroic Spirit that has traversed time and space to join the Holy Grail War will never mistake her golden sword for any other. It is a typical western sword with a length of ninety centimeters and a width of twelve centimeters, and it has Fairy Letters inscribed on it to show that it was not the work of mankind. Excalibur is a weapon of directive energy that converts the prana of the wielder into light by accelerating it with her factor of the dragon, intensifying the kinetic energy by convergence and acceleration, allowing for the use of Divine Spirit level thaumaturgy. It is an "ultimate killing technique" that releases light holding energy equaling Arturia's total amount of prana from the tip of the blade once the sword is swung. While the result is what looks like a large band of light, only the tip of the attack, which is a wave of light that can mow through the surface of the Earth, is capable of doing damage, as the band of light is the result of the "dislocation" of everything the attack destroys in its path. Even if it is dodged, those in close proximity can still be temporarily distracted due to its high intensity. Its speed and power are among the greatest compared to other Noble Phantasms, and only Ea matches it. Its prana consumption is extremely high, and it cannot be fired consecutively. When used while weakened by her connection with Shirou, she can only fire it once before she is almost out of energy, and when she tries to use it again even after restoring some energy in Night Without Dawn bad ending, she fails to even scratch Berserker due to the lack of prana and instantly fades away. Once Avalon is returned to her in Fate, she is able to use it a number of times in succession before fading away. It ranks as an anti-fortress Noble Phantasm due to its magnitude and destructive power. Its concentric area of impact is broad enough to incinerate an entire military cohort, turn the ground into scorched earth and leave a great disorder in land that would never fade, cut into the clouds, and completely destroy the large creature summoned by Caster, capable of regenerating instantly after receiving mountain shattering attacks, by annihilating every single atom of its flesh. Both hands are needed to use the attack, so losing access to her hands means being unable to use the ability. After the tendons in her left hand being damaged by Gae Buidhe makes it impossible to move her thumb or exert enough strength to grip the sword hilt, it is reflected upon changing Excalibur's status to an Anti-Unit Noble Phantasm with a range of 2-3 and a maximum target of one person. Its destructive power can also be a negative trait that limits its usage, as it can easily damage the surrounding area and kill a large number of people if used under the wrong conditions. It makes it impossible for her to use it against Archer during Fate/hollow ataraxia due to the great risk of destroying the Center Building and numerous buildings around it to reach him. She can control the output somewhat with precise calibration, but it is still easily capable of completely destroying Fuyuki's church while holding back energy to restrict damage to a minimum. The distance between her and the enemy increases its effectiveness, so it is possible to limit its destructive power if they focus on close-range combat. It is also unable to be used against opponents who fight at an extremely close range, such as Assassin, who could cut off her head with Tsubame Gaeshi the instant she began to gather the energy in her sword.
