Gosh I'm bad at identifying language techniques... I'm looking for techniques in "a most dauntless, voiceless fortitude". I've been looking around and the closest I can find is superlative but I'm not really sure that fits the bill.

I don't know if this helps but perhaps consider the literary technique 'asyndeton', which is basically the omission of conjunctions in parts of a sentence. In the quote, there is "and" missing from "dauntless, voiceless" so asyndeton can probably be used.

This grammatical compactness can maybe grab the reader's attention and emphasise upon the mood/atmosphere that the author is trying to convey. It can also possibly speed up the rhythm which can create a more tense atmosphere perhaps.

However, this is just a suggestion from my perspective.
