Dante in depth Build & Gameplay Guide for endgame content & my thoughts on him after first day.

I was surprised just how good this frame is and what a valuable asset he is for any squad, as well as how independent he can be if you choose to run him solo; affinity range status immunity, instant Overguard casting, 3 valuable buffs... the list goes on!

In my eyes, he hits a great balance between offense and defense, I anticipate he might fly under the radar a bit once his hype dies down, due to his complexity and the subtlety of his mechanics needing quite a bit of setup, but for those meta gamers who want to squeeze out the most satisfaction out of their frames and guns, this is a frame you really can't pass up!

That said, i believe his subsume will probably be a bit dissapointing, as the whole point of dark verse

My build is Brief respite,
archon intensify, augur secrets/message/range, transient fortitude, rolling guard, archon flow (because it's maxed :P), handspring and Energy Nexus for worry free casting.
Arcane Energize (at least rank 3 recommended, 5 if you can afford) and Molt Augmented (really cheap, worth it for permanent 60% strength).
The interaction between the Augur set and Brief respite is really nice, as not only can you regenerate full shield bar in a few casts, but you also go into high overguard territory, which gives you a longer shield gate, if/ once your overguard goes down.

I'm using his new signature incarnon fist weapon and the Felarx / x incarnon primary, with the grimoire for energy + more power strength, before activating the noctua, our exalted tome, which has its 2 fire modes.
Tomorrow i'll earn his arm cannon :D and also paste the overframe.gg links here

Even though this is a very defensive focussed setup, with a lot of casting speed (+100%; 50 from natural talent, 50 from madurai fast cast) and utility (shield gating, range, energy regen, status immunity), we still manage to hit around 250 to 300% power strength when all of our stars align 150% base then +; 150 Sling Strength (40 % always up) (60 % molt augmented... fully activated after 3 minutes) (archon intensify 30% always up) (vome invocation 60%; rarely up at full capacity).

While Voruna was definitely faster and more competitive for the disruption runs, i felt Dante brought more to the table for Netracells and actual sqaud based activities, a really fun first day with this new owl frame (:
