Here are the top 10 tips and tricks for playing "The First Descendant," a cooperative looter shooter game:
1. Choose Your Starter Character Wisely
Begin with Ajax, Viessa, or Lepic. Viessa is often recommended for beginners due to her crowd control and damage capabilities with ice abilities.
2. Understand Elemental Weaknesses
Enemies in "The First Descendant" have elemental weaknesses. Ensure your team has characters or weapons that can exploit these for easier encounters.
3. Mastery Rank is Crucial
Increase your Mastery Rank regularly to expand module capacity and unlock additional benefits. Remember to visit the Prime Hands in Albion to level up.
4. Use Public Missions
Playing missions in public mode can make farming resources or completing objectives easier and quicker due to assistance from other players. However, for story progression or when learning, private might be better.
5. Dismantle Rather Than Sell
Dismantle weapons and equipment you don't need for materials instead of selling them for gold. Gold is relatively easy to come by, materials less so.
6. Efficient Farming Tips
Use the Access Info menu in your Journal to locate where materials or weapons can be farmed. This saves a lot of time when you're looking for specific components.
7. Upgrade Modules Efficiently
Upgrade your weapon and Descendant modules, but be aware of the capacity cost. Focus on modules that provide significant benefits for your build.
8. Optimize Your Loadout
Mix weapons with different ammo types to maintain consistent damage output. High-Power Rounds might be less abundant, so balance your arsenal.
9. Resource Boxes
Always destroy resource boxes for potential materials needed for crafting or unlocking new Descendants or weapons.
10. Engage in Wave-Based Modes
For leveling up both your Descendants and Mastery Rank, wave-based modes are efficient due to the constant flow of enemies.
Bonus Tip: Crafting and Research
Start research or crafting processes before you go on missions. These real-time tasks can take a while, and starting them early allows them to complete while you play, saving you waiting time later.
These tips should give you a strong foundation for enjoying and excelling in "The First Descendant." Remember, the game encourages teamwork, so don't hesitate to squad up or join public games to tackle tougher challenges or farm resources more efficiently. |
