Tethren Melee Courage Build
- High Single Target DPS
- Great Buffs
- High Burst Damage
- Great for Bossfights
- Low Mobility
- Boring to play
Overview
This 
Tethren build makes use of its buffs: 
Fellust and 
Call of the Ancients while stacking up 
Courage to deal high damage when using the 
Gathannan (with 
Verite Blessed by Mora) to deal incredible damage to single targets and even small groups of enemies thanks to Polearm's reach.
Virtues
Tethren damage buffs scale directly with Courage, increasing as your Courage goes up. The pact mainly provides buffs and can feel a bit plain, but 
Clash also scales its damage with Courage. 
Grace is also alright if you can get 10 points into it when testing out Grace weapons.
Skills
Fellust – One of your two buffs. Increases your damage and offers an incredible boost to your melee attacks, allowing you to kill mobs in only a few swings.
Call of the Ancients – Taunts all nearby enemies, making them attack you, while also boosting your damage and halving the damage taken, allowing you to taunt and keep aggro on a few mobs at once.
Clash – While this doesn't do all that much damage, Clash is nice for its CC, staggering enemies and forcing them off you. Keep in mind however that it has a long animation and can be tricky to use in time before enemies hit you.
Tethren Upgrades
Upgrade 
Conquerer, Mora's Pride, and Akin as soon as possible. Conquerer heals you when you kill enemies, Mora's Pride gives a flat Courage boost, and Akin increases cooldown speed to reduce your ability cooldowns.
Equipment
Joineries
To make this build work, you have to find and use a Verite Blessed by Mora which changes the Spirit virtue of the Gathannan into Courage, boosting its damage while also allowing it to scale with Courage. An alternative would also be to use 
Duhk Halic until you get a Joinery Blessed by Mora.
Polearm Upgrades
Flyblade Upgrades
