Info

Dante expends 5 energy to equip his Exalted Weapon tome sidearm, the  Noctua, replacing his equipped secondary weapon. Press the ability key again (default 1 ) to deactivate and return his secondary weapon to the swap weapon cycle (default F ).
Noctua has its own unique statistics:
Primary fire shoots fully automatic arcane energies.
Consumes 2 energy per shot.
Base damage is 175 / 200 / 225 / 250 pure  Slash.
Shots have a 30% critical chance, 2x critical multiplier, 25% status chance, 1.5 fire rate, infinite ammunition, and does not need to reload.
On impact with an enemy, the shot splits into 4 fragments that seek enemies within 20 meters at a 60 degree angle, inflicting damage with critical and status chance, as well as charging the alt-fire meter.
Alternate Fire hurls a wide projectile.
Requires a fully filled meter beneath the reticle in order to fire. The meter takes 60 seconds to completely recharge. Hitting enemies with the primary fire reduces recharge time by 1 second per hit. Picking up secondary or universal ammo reduces recharge time by 10 seconds.
Multishot will count as an additional hit.
Base damage is 2,000 / 2,250 / 2,500 / 2,750 distributed between 40%  Impact and 60%  Radiation.
Shots have a 45% critical chance, 3x critical multiplier, 45% status chance, 1.0 fire rate, infinite Punch Through against bodies, and 1.4 meter Punch Through against surfaces.
The Noctua's unique passive bypasses the one Canticle Mod ( Fass Canticle,  Jahu Canticle,  Khra Canticle, and  Lohk Canticle) and one Invocation mod ( Xata Invocation,  Netra Invocation,  Ris Invocation, and  Vome Invocation) restriction, allowing it to equip all Tome Mods simultaneously, if needed.
Damage is affected by  Ability Strength and most secondary weapon mods.

Noctua can not be equipped with Acolyte Mods (e.g.,  Sharpened Bullets) or Amalgam Mods (e.g.,  Amalgam Barrel Diffusion).
Riven Mods are not generated for the Noctua.
Casting and deactivating Noctua are full-body animations that allow uninterrupted movement and parkour Maneuvers.
Ability Synergy:
Kills from Noctua passively scan enemies into the Codex. Noctua also gains 50% Status Chance against enemies that have been fully scanned.
 Final Verse's Wordwarden creates a spectral Noctua companion that floats beside Dante and his allies and attacks enemies struck by their weapons, inheriting 35% / 40% / 45% / 50% of the  Noctua's original damage, any modded stats, and splits page fragments on hit to charge the held Noctua's alt-fire.
