The eldritch storyteller, works out in a library, overguard overload - Dante!
Release date: 2024-03-27
Passive: Enemies slain by Noctua’s primary fire, alt-fire, and page fragments are scanned into the Codex upon death, with each enemy death recording 1 scan entry. Enemy types with completed Codex research become permanently debuffed with Chronicler’s Mark, which grants Dante’s equipped weapons, including the Noctua itself, and Final Verse’s Wordwarden Noctua copies an extra 50% Status Chance versus these foes.
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 increases their Max 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.
Acquisition: Main and component can be obtained from Rotation C of Disruption Armatus on Deimos.
It’s been over half a year since his release and the previous time he appeared on Weekly Warframe, and given he was the next frame in line anyway I thought it’s a good idea to revisit the owl librarian (especially as we only have 2 frames left!)
This guy turned out to be incredible, even post his LoS nerfs (he was OP before, they were more than warranted). Insane overguard generation for the entire team, slash procs everywhere and a way to cash in all that DoT damage instantly for a huge nuke. Noctua can either be a weapon capable of nuking crowns by itself or an incredible utility tool for Dante if slotted with all of the Tome mods. One of the best caster frames in general, if you want to just spam abilities and completely ignore your weapons Dante is your frame!
