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 Disruption Armatus on Deimos.
I got really lucky on the first disruption run. Got systems, neuro, and chassis all in one go. And have proceeded to just have the worst luck after that, but hey, plenty of Axi drops.
I did eventually get the BP, and tried out the funny books man, got the devil may cry jokes out of my system, and proceeded to helminth the guy. I’m still interested in picking him up again and using him for the Index, but he didn’t really grab me in the way other caster frames have. I like his exalted book, but I just didn’t have the tome mods (or desire to forma it up) at the time to really make it shine.
