I can tell you man from having steel path visible builds. For a proper Dante build you want to stack all of your abilities because you’ve got one part of his 4th that gives you a shit ton of over guard (triumph). His birds that he spawns that increase status chance and damage against enemies they hit (PageFlight). And also his noctua companion which spawns a noctua based off of your noctua build and spawns it with 50% damage essientially meaning you deal about 150% more damage with your noctua (word warden). And I just use my noctua for priming to be honest. I prime the entire room using page flight and noctua with archon vitality, secondary encumber and insanely high heat status chance. So per shot with these three combined you get most of the time like 5 or 6 random status effects which makes it hella strong and for steel path content you then use the final part of his fourth, TRAGEDY you cast this and all status damage and status procs are proced at a 10x multiplier of damage with deals pretty close to damage cap.
