Time to go to work, guys! Dante team building thread

So im pretty new to this game, intending to build a team around Dante, and was wondering what advice i can get,
Basically my team so far consists of Dante, on anchor or point though im leaning alot more towards anchor atm, and Hawkeye wherever.
I was just wondering who would be a decent 3rd character, my choices so far being Trish mainly because of her peekaboo assist, Rocket Raccoon because i find him fun to play even though im not particularly good with him and logtrap is ace, or Deadpool for similar reasons to RR plus from my impresions he seems a decent character.
The only thing certain for me is that i have Dante in my team, id like to have Hawkeye but if its gonna make things difficult for me im open to swapping him out.
If anyone has any advice id appreciate it, cheers.

Hi, long time lurker, first time poster here.

So I’m thinking of using Dante (Jam) / Doom (Missiles) / Ammy (Cold Star).

Is this a good enough team or do I need to switch things around. Been in the lab trying to find out combo extensions for dante on my own but I can’t seem to find anything worth doing. The best I’ve found adds like 20k damage >_>

I don’t know too much about Ammy anymore, but her assist scales down all of dante’s shit so that he does even less damage then he already did. But I’m pretty sure you have her there for the doom/ammy THC. I know a lot of people love missiles for Dante, it does extend combos quite nicely. But personally I’d roll with Doom Beam.

I had ammy there because I thought doom ammy worked together nicely, and I wanted to play ammy too. And she helps with dante’s corner lockdown game.

Check the video thread, me and Stepsz both posted video recently for Missiles. Obviously it can’t add much damage due to Dante’s awful scaling, but it sure builds a lot of meter.

Cold Star already functions as a respectable horizontal assist that can be used both for Stinger + Assist > Teleport mixups and anytime after that for ridiculously easy IAD mixups, and since it keeps opponents standing you’ll get a better combo off a hit with it than you would with Plasma Beam anyway. Hidden Missiles isn’t just useful for combos, the screen control it provides is incredible. You can fill the entire screen with missiles + Hysteric, control the horizontal plane with projectiles/stinger while missiles approach from the air, even use it to mixup opponents trying to lame you out at super jump height with teleport. Dante has a rather easy time confirming off of Missiles as well. The only thing really prefer Plasma Beam for is if I somehow don’t have another horizontal assist (Which never happens) or if I desperately need something to keep other assists in check such as punching through Drones (Which also isn’t that big of an issue if you continue to fill the screen with crap)

He should leave someone out because dante doesnt have much support on assists and when using spencer he needs an combo extender no zoning assist because his mobility is already good enough if you ask me. But hey what do i know :stuck_out_tongue:
Or change the order c viper then dante with jam session then c viper has a good lockdown and is very deadly.

Any suggestions for C.viper(burning kick) /Dante(Jam session)/Magneto(disruptor)
i chose burning kick because of the overhead ability and it can extend the combo of Dante a lil longer

What do you guys think
Dante(session/weasel), Storm(whirlwind), Strider (vajra)
-Dante is always great
-Storm assist for mixups since it leaves them standing and has big range. Plus it should allow throw followups.
-Vajra for extensions and to stop air spam
-Good thc
-Good dhc
-2 points 1 assist/anchor but also functions as 1 point 2 assists.
-Again a good anchor
-Not the highest damage but allows rushdown and zoning.

Only bad parts are damage, low health, and sadly all of them use excessive meter.

^I thought Dante can be used as a battery to build meter if you effectively use his resets.

Dante is one of the best battery characters in the game, if you find yourself with little or no meter when using him, then you are doing something wrong.

Idk. I don’t use resets I like to finish off unless they have a decent amount left.

In a dante, strider, tron team who’s better on point dante or tron. Tron benefits from dante assist and he benefits from her. I’m thinking of tron first for combo extensions. Any advice?

I hope you’re talking about Vanilla Tron.

LOL.
But no, I’m trying to make a relatively unique team in ultimate, so any advice about tron momo?

The more I think about it, the more I actually really like the idea of this team. Dante/storm has been a favorite of mine for awhile now. They don’t really help each other out all too much, I just like the characters. And DT into Ice Storm is nice. Also, storm assist is a great help to dante’s zoning, which is kinda weak but still effective.

Vajra assist has been proven to be great for Dante in reset options, something storm assist doesn’t really do. And like you said, it keeps them from super jumping and you get (almost) full combo off of it.

Sadly, I don’t see too much of a purpose between storm/strider, but I guess having strider with storm assist COULD be useful. I’m not sure, will definitely play around with it more.

Well, I would if I didn’t leave my game in another city ;_;

How do you guys think Magneto/Dante/Vergil would work?

move magneto to anchor and you have a godlike team

So run it Vergil/Dante/Magneto?

that or DVM, if you want dante to have combo extensions instead of vergil + TODs with vergil dhc

Hadn’t considered Magneto on anchor, didn’t know he was solid in that spot, always see him on point. I will try that out thank you.

Also what assists would be best?
