I'd say that BE is not effective considering how many
towers you have in the deck...
The animate weapon might be too gimmicky to be actually useful, though.
For the PC, how about some pends and some steals, as suggested in absol's thread?
I really can't give further comments here, I am not familiar with quanta balancing, especially in trios (although this is technically a
quartet).
Excalibur? Which part? (i thought i'll see Morning Glory)
And I thought the discords can suffice...
Also, if an artillery shell can be called Excalibur, why not an overdriven voodoo doll?
(Covering the fact that I ran out of ideas)
