Dante Warframe gameplay, explained
Dante is a unique Warframe who tells Stories through his special Tome, Noctua. Depending on the order you use his Verses, you can cast different spells. Light Verses help you and your team with supportive spells, while Dark Verses let you cast powerful offensive spells that cause big damage and Slash effects right away. You can mix Light and Dark verses together, creating four different spells based on their combinations. Here’s how it works:
- Ability 1: Noctua – Turns Noctua into your active weapon. Not required to use the other abilities.
- Ability 2: Light Verse – Grants Overguard and increases Max Health of Dante and his allies. Adds its page to Dante’s book.
- Ability 3: Dark Verse – Creates a Slash damage cone that attacks enemies in its range. Adds its page to Dante’s book.
- Ability 4: Final Verse – Dante can only use this ability if he composed two other verses first. Based on the order the last two verses were cast, the ability has a different effect.
- Two Light Verses: Triumph Story – Regenerates survivability stats from Dante and his allies.
- Two dark verses: Tragedy Story – Deals massive damage to enemies in area
- Dark Verse first, Light Verse second: Pageflight – Summons three Paragrimms who attract enemy aggro and deal Slash procs to them.
- Light Verse first, Dark Verse second: Wordwarden – Summons a copy of Noctua that supports allies and attacks enemies.
Your gameplay with Dante is essentially using Light and Dark verses as needed and as a setup for Final Verse, depending on what you need to accomplish. These abilities are cast quite fast, so you can use them often to rotate between buffs and offense.
