How to unlock the The Legend of Excalibur achievement in SMITE - Definitive Guide

As King Arthur, cast Excalibur's Wrath and Sundering Strike within 10 seconds of each other.

Excalibur's Wrath and Sundering Strike are King Arthur's ultimate abilities. Arthur is able to switch stance between his standard abilities and his combo abilities. You switch between them any time you use an ability.

Sundering Strike requires 35 energy before it can be used, and Excalibur's Wrath requires 80 energy before it can be used. You gain energy by hitting enemies with your other abilities. Your 1 will give you 3 energy for each hit (so 6 energy in total if you hit both the standard stance and the combo stance). Your 2 will hit for 4 energy each (8 in total) and your 3 hits for 1 energy in each stance.

The best strategy for this would be to build up to 100 energy first (this is shown in the sword icon that appears for King Arthur's passive (it appears in the bottom left of my screen). Once at 100 energy, you'll want to go on the offensive. If you die, all of your charge is lost.

Both your ultimates have a bit of a dash forwards. Use your ultimate Excalibur's Wrath to knock an enemy into the air and strike them 6 times before dropping them back to the ground. You then have to build up 15 more energy by attacking enemy gods with your abilities and then hit another enemy with Sundering Strike, all within 10 seconds.
You'll be at 1 stack of passive. Your 3 in Combo Stance (where you spin in a circle for a few seconds) gives 2 energy for each tick hit so you'll gain around 12.5 energy by hitting a god with each tick. Hit one another ability or two after this finishes and you'll get the 15 you need. Cast your other ultimate, Sundering Strike, and the achievement should pop if you did it in time.

This is best attempted in Arena. You'll want a standard tanky-warrior build, Cooldown Reduction can help with how quickly you can use your abilites but aren't a necessity. Protection are a necessity however, as having your energy reset can be a pain, so you'll want to build items such as Gladiators Shield, Void Shield, Genji's Guard and Mantle of Discord (and any other situational items you think are necessary.

You don't have to hit the same god with your ultimates, and it seems far easier to hit someone with Excalibur's Wrath First, then go for Sundering Strike, rather than the other way around.

I'll add my specific build in once I've earned this achievement myself.

Thanks to fifapro for the additional information.

Np! I am even glad I learned more about his energy gains by testing things in jungle practice so I corrected my post like 5 times.

Thank you!
I thought I'd mentioned about Arena (I usually do) be appear to have missed it, so I'll add that.
I thought attack speed seemed like an odd thing to build, so I'll adjust accordingly. A full warrior build seems to work well, with guardian items as you suggest.

Just realised my mistake with the numbers as well, will adjust.

You have to hit the enemies with your ultimate. The update on 2/21/19 may have fixed it.

Accidentally deleted my comment haha. I can confirm that you do not need to hit anyone with either ults. I did this in an arena and missed by a mile with both ults lol. patched as of 2/21/19

My god, every Arthur I see is hell to play against, but playing as him? I’m the squishiest bait in the game.

Where’s this build you mentioned?

You have very useful info here but they're not all necessary and some of your energy numbers need to be corrected. Attack speed and cooldown reduction items are not necessary at all. Cooldown reduction is only useful for reaching the 100 energy mark faster.
My tips:
Arena is always the best mode to get achievements.
First take all your time to reach the full 100 energy safely without dying or else you'll have to start again from 0 energy. After it, make sure you're full health, and ult somebody who is near another enemy so that you hit the followup abilities after the ult easily. You'll have 20 energy left and you'll still need 15 to reach 35, and you'll be at 1 stack of passive. Your 3 in Combo Stance (Yellow) gives 2 energy for each tick hit so you'll gain like 12.5 energy by hitting it so you'll only need one other ability to be able to use your ult again.
Thus, you only need tank items to guarantee your survivability after the first ult.
I personally accomplished it by having mantle of discord and boots only.

Note 1: If you have 1 stack of passive or more before the first ult (so hitting an enemy with any ability before ulting), you'll only need the 3 of combo stance (yellow) to be able to ult again.
Note 2: Your passive has 4 max stacks, you gain 25% more energy per stack and it lasts for 15 seconds which get refreshed after an enemy god is hit with an ability.

Finally unlocked it!

Mode: Arena

Build: Stone of Gaia, Soul Eater, Pridwen, Hide of the Urchin, Genji's Guard, The Sledge


Tactics:

You must avoid dying or you lose all your energy and have to restart the process. Due to this fact, the build is based on sustain and protections. This is to help you stay in the fight and farm energy via his passive (Building attack speed for increased energy I found to be negligible at best). You will want to save up too 100 energy, then use Excalibur's Wrath, follow it with both 3s and a Sundering Strike.

Best target: Enemy Tanks
Worst target: Enemy Gods that have good escapes or hard CCS

Hope this helps someone else!
