Everything about Lucanis Companion in Dragon Age The Veilguard
Lucanis Dellamorte is a highly skilled assassin and a member of the Antivan Crows faction. This popular assassin from Antiva has earned himself the title of Demon of Vyrantium, and he is known across Thedas for his deadly efficiency and poisons. The Antivan Crows faction is a family business that includes all family members, and Lucanis is its First Talon. Caterina Dellamorte, his grandmother, specifically trained him and made him her heir.
Lucanis is primarily a Rogue specializing in Duelist, allowing him to use his dual daggers swiftly while parrying and dodging incoming attacks. Most of his attacks are necrotic-infused and deal overtime damage. In addition to his potential abilities, he also has the healing ability to heal Rook. Moreover, Lucanis also holds various potions to support allies by buffing their attacks.
We know that every companion in the Dragon Age: The Veilguard has a unique ability to manipulate something in the game world. However, Lucanis’s game-world manipulative ability is unknown at this point.
The Lighthouse and Lucanis Dellamorte
The Lighthouse is the player hub area where you will get to gather with all of your recruited companions. You can interact and exchange dialogues to grow your relationship with them, which can eventually turn into romantic options. The companions play a crucial role in the game’s overall narrative, providing you with aid in enemy encounters and exploration. Every companion is skilled in their pre-defined class and provides you with great assistance with the set of skills during combat.
Order your companions to use either priming or detonating abilities that will help you create unique combos to annihilate the fighting grounds. As you cannot use companions by yourself, synergizing your build with the companions’ abilities will help you outplay the strong enemies. Outside of combat grounds, each companion will often exchange dialogue with you upon progressing your character and provide you with more dialogue options whenever you are dealing with an NPC from a corresponding faction of your companion.
Speaking of companions and their related factions, here are all the companions associated with factions and classes in Dragon Age: The Veilguard.
- Bellara (Veil Jumpers): Mage
- Davrin (Grey Wardens): Warrior
- Emmrich Volkarin (The Mourn Watch): Mage
- Lace Harding (Inquisition): Rogue
- Lucanis Dellamorte (Antivan Crows): Rogue
- Neve Gallus (Shadow Dragons): Mage
- Taash (Lords of Fortune): Warrior
Lucanis Faction
Selecting a Faction for Rook is a mandatory process at the beginning of the game as every faction provides certain traits. In the case of Lucanis, he is a member of the Antivan Crows faction, and if you select a faction similar to his, you will get bonus traits that will provide you with more damage output against Antaam. Moreover, it also allows you to hold an extra potion on Rook.
- Under their Wing: Gain reputation with the Antivan Crows more quickly
- Open Contract: Deal increased damage vs. Antaam
- Hidden Pouch: Holds an extra potion
So, if you are considering a Range/Melee DPS-focused build for your character, Antivan Crows will give you a slight edge in applying more buffs to Rook’s abilities. It is best for a Melee DPS build with Slayer Specialization or a Range DPS with Veil Rangers Specialization. Moreover, with Lucanis on your side, he can strike down enemies swiftly and deal overtime damage with necrotic attacks.
Here is a quick look at the characteristics of Lucanis Dellamorte in Dragon Age: The Veilguard.

- Race: Human
- Gender: Male

Where to find Lucanis in Dragon Age: The Veilguard
The exact location of Lucanis is unknown at this time due to the limited introduction of the companions and combat system by the Devs. His introduction to Rook and the rest of the companions is still a mystery, so we will have to wait for a bit to see how it goes. We will update this portion of the Dragon Age The Veilguard Lucanis Companion guide, once we get the information on what point you meet Lucanis and what procedures you need to undertake to unlock him.
Lucanis Equipment
Lucanis is a Rogue who focuses on doing necrotic damage with his dual-daggers and supports his companions with potions. He uses dual-daggers as his primary weapon to target enemies swiftly and his swift movement allows him to parry and dodge the attacks. In addition to his daggers, the rest of the equipment slots include an Armor Set and an Accessory Item.
There are only four slots for all companions, which is less than Rook’s nine slots. The equipment slots on the left side for the companions include main weapons, and the slots on the right include armor set pieces and trinkets.
- Equipment Slot 1: Dagger
- Equipment Slot 2: Dagger
- Equipment Slot 3: Armor Set
- Equipment Slot 4: Accessory Item
While being a Duelist Rogue, Lucanis utilizes his Daggers most of the time to divert the attention of enemies from his allies. You can deal with potential damage to enemies by using Rook’s abilities on top of the necrotic damage he causes.
Another thing that is worth mentioning is that all companions have their own progression system, so as they gain experience and level up, they will gain access to better equipment options and new skills. Speaking of skills, let’s discuss Lucanis’s starting abilities.
Lucanis Abilities and Skillls
Lucanis’s set of starting abilities hold skills that allow him to inflict various status effects on enemies, such as Sundered, Knocked Down, Stagger, and Detonate the Overwhelmed. Moreover, some of the abilities target multiple enemies and he also supports allies for increased damage on enemies. Here is a list of all Lucanis’s starting abilities and their effects.
- Eviscerate: Lucanis deals a decisive blow to the enemy’s weakest point dealing 378 necrotic damage. It detonates the Overwhelmed status effect on an enemy and deals bonus damage if Lucanis’s health is half or low. Lastly, this ability has a base cooldown of 40 seconds.

Lucanis is a great Melee DPS character and his powers synergize greatly with various builds like Range DPS, Melee DPS, and Tank for your character.
Lucanis Build Guide
From Lucanis’s equipment and abilities, we know that he is a great Melee DPS character and healer who can fill up the missing gaps from your Rook’s build. The preferred build for your Rook with Lucanis as a companion is Melee DPS. Because it will allow you to take advantage of various opportunities that Lucanis creates with his abilities, moreover, the second companion that we would recommend is Davrin. He is a great Tank character with close and ranged abilities. With Melee DPS build, you can utilize the Slayer specialization for Rook, and create synergies totally on demolishing enemies in close quarters.
Creating combos with companions will aid you efficiently in Dragon Age: The Veilguard which relies on prime and detonate attacks. With Lucanis and Davrin, you can use Davrin’s Heroic Strike (ability) to apply the Overwhelm effect on an enemy. Then you order Lucanis to use Eviscerate to detonate and amplify the effect’s impact.
Moreover, if you wish to play the Mage build and change the composition a bit, it can also synergize greatly with Lucanis and Davrin. While playing the Mage, you can use abilities like Meteor and Void Blade to detonate the Sundered status effect on an enemy after applying the Sundered effect using Lucanis’s Debilitate ability. Lastly, in the time of need for healing, you can order Lucanis to heal your character instantly for 630 Health Points with the Soothing Potion ability.
Now, you can alter the builds throughout your adventure, and as Lucanis progresses, you can freely select advanced skills from his skill lines for better composition.
