DantePASSIVE Noctua scans targets, recording information for your Codex. Status Chance increases by 50% on fully scanned targets.
Noctua
Open Noctua, Dante's Exalted Tome, and unleash a tale of woe upon his enemies.
Light Verse
Dante's vitalizing composition grants him and his allies Overguard and restores their Health.
Dark Verse
Dante's composition draws blood from nearby enemies, inflicting Slash Damage upon them.
Final Verse
Dante must compose two other Verses before his Final Verse. TRIUMPH: Two Light Verses cast in succession invigorate allies. TRAGEDY: Two Dark Verses cast in succession devastate enemies. WORDWARDEN: Light then Dark supports allies with Noctua copies. PAGEFLIGHT: Dark then Light summons Paragrimms.
CEPHALON FIELD GUIDE
How to play this build.
Tenno. Dante's Pageflight overguard and Light Verse buffs keep a melee build alive and swinging while Wrathful Advance provides the teleport and crit angle. Tragedy is left in the book.
How it works
Cast the Noctua verses for the flat damage and crit buffs, Pageflight for overguard, then swing.
Wrathful Advance (Helminth) teleports you onto a target and grants a guaranteed-crit follow-up.
High duration keeps the buff bar full between packs.
Helminth
Wrathful Advance over Dark Verse or Tragedy.
Where it struggles
Buff upkeep is a lot of casts.
Thin base defenses lean hard on overguard.
Variants
Verse of Ruin (#005) is the Tragedy slash-nuke Dante; The Book of Fire (#116) is the pure Noctua DPS build.
Who runs this
Melee players who want Dante's buffs on a stick.

CEPHALON FIELD GUIDE
How to play this build.
Tenno. Noctua is a crit-heavy tome. Modded for heat or electric with the Galvanized status core, it is a real damage weapon, and its invocation slot can carry energy regeneration or a utility proc instead.
The mods

The invocation slot is flexible: Magnetic Might or Accelerated Isotope for DPS, Xata or Vome Invocation for regeneration.
Pair with external fire rate (Reinforced Bond, Arcane Velocity).
Where it struggles
Low base fire rate without buffs.
Slow reload.
Variants
The Book of Fire (#116) is Dante's pure-Noctua frame build.
Who runs this
