Dante is a deadly Warframe and part of the Dante Unbound update. It’s been a while since I’ve seen the community so excited about a new Warframe, and it’s not hard to see why. Let me show you how to build Dante in Warframe.
How to get Dante in Warframe
There are several ways to get Dante, but most Tenno will run the Disruption mission at theArmatus node on Deimos. Dante’s parts are all obtainable from Round 4 onwards, providing no more than one Conduit is destroyed. All Warframe drops have a low drop rate of5% for the parts and 7% for the blueprint, so expect to run the mode multiple times.
You can also buy Dante outright from the Market for350 Platinumor as part of theDante Chronicles Bundle. To access the Armatus node, you must complete theWhispers in the Wall main quest.
How to play Dante in Warframe
It will take theory crafters a while to figure out a ‘meta’ playstyle for Dante, but he already works as a fantastic Nuker. We’ll update this guide if any ‘broken’ interactions are found, but this is a solid ability loop. Start by castingDark Verse twice, which inflicts Slash damage.
Dante’sFinal Verseability changes depending on what abilities were used before. If you cast Dark Verse twice, Final Verse becomesTragedyand deals a ton of burst damage. You can spam this rotation to clear rooms, but you also have a survivability tool to keep you safe.
Light Versegrants you and your alliesOverguardand can be used as often as you like. This buff makes you immune to most status effects and Knockdowns. You also gain significant additional hit points on top of your health and shields. With Overguard, you can quickly amass thousands of defense points, making Dante surprisingly tanky.
Dante’s Noctua feels weaker than the rest of his kit. Unless I’m missing something, I’ll likely switch this out for another Warframe ability.Rhino’s Roaris always a solid choice, providing a potent damage buff for you and your team.
Best Mods for Dante in Warframe
Now you know the ability loop and playstyle, here’s a great selection of mods to compliment it:
I’ve chosen this selection because I want to increase the range of Dante’s Dark Verse and Final Verse. The extra strength fromUmbral IntensifyandBlind Rageis a huge bonus, as we’re playing Dante as a Nuker.Stretchincreases our range, andStreamline, combined withPrimed Flow, takes care of our Energy consumption.Fleeting Expertiseimproves our Efficiency for ability spamming, andCorrosive Projectiondebuffs armor values for our opponents.
Remember that you don’t need Primed or Umbral versions of the Mods above if you don’t have them. The standard versions will be fine for most content, and if you like the build, you can invest in those upgraded Mods when you get them.
Another great thing about this build is the cost. This mod selection doesn’t require Forma, but if you want to invest, you could squeeze inanEquilibriumMod for more energy.
If you’re having trouble farming Dante’s parts, rememberyou can purchase them from Sanctum Anatomicaon Deimos.
