  1. Using Energy Activators
    After completing the campaign and hitting level 40, you should have received energy activators. These are crucial for enhancing your character and weapons.

How Energy Activators Work

  • Module Additional Settings: Navigate to The Descendant modules and click on “Module Additional Settings.” Here, you’ll find “Assign Module Socket Type” and “Max Capacity Up.”
  • Increasing Module Slots: Activating Max Capacity Up increases your module slots, allowing you to add more and stronger modules.
  • Example: If you’re at 51 of 60 module capacity, using an energy activator can increase this, enabling you to add more powerful modules. A max-level module can significantly enhance your build.

Energy activators should be used in the endgame to boost your favorite character and weapon.

  1. Assigning Module Socket Types
    This feature allows you to assign specific module socket types to your descendant’s module slots.

Why It’s Important

  • Capacity Reduction: Specific socket types reduce module capacity usage. For example, an HP module might go from 15 capacity to 8.
  • Build Flexibility: This enables more build combinations and the ability to max out important skills.

Requirements
Buy TFD Character Leveling Boost Services to quickly enhance and upgrade descendants.

  • Crystallization Catalyst: You need at least one and a descendant at level 40. Assigning socket types returns the descendant to level 1 but retains all skills, allowing you to level up again and enhance your build.

  1. Enhancing Unique Abilities
    Unique abilities can be enhanced to make your ultimate skills more powerful.

Example

  • Thunder Cage: Defeating an enemy triggers an electric shockwave. Enhancing this ability increases reload time, trigger rate, and damage range.

Steps

  1. Select Ability: Choose the unique ability you want to enhance.
  2. Farm and Enhance: Farm another of the same ability and overcharge it to increase its power.

  1. Mastery Rank
    Mastery Rank is crucial for enhancing your descendant and weapon modules.

Benefits

  • Rank Cap: Mastery Rank caps at 20 for module benefits but goes up to 30 for inventory and storage space.
  • Leveling Up: Increase your Mastery Rank by leveling new descendants to level 40. Resetting a descendant with a catalyst and re-leveling does not count towards your Mastery Rank.

Enhancing Modules

  • Requirement: Enhancing modules requires a high Mastery Rank, so prioritize leveling up new descendants.

  1. Reactors and External Components
    Optimizing reactors and external components can significantly impact your builds.

Reactors

  • Skill Power Boost: Look for reactors with the right skill power boost ratios that match your build.
  • Bonus Stats: Aim for reactors with beneficial bonus stats.

External Components

  • Four-Piece Sets: These drop from hard colossal bosses and provide significant boosts. Matching the right set with your descendant’s play style is essential for maximizing power.

By following these tips, you can optimize your build and become a powerful descendant in The First Descendant.
