How to melt bosses in hard mode

earthpressnews

The poison expert Freyna has her strengths in damage over time. With this build you can still destroy the bosses in The First Descendant in seconds.

What kind of build is this? Freyna’s specialty is attacks that cause poison. So we want to use the damage dealer primarily to cause damage over time (DoT). In boss fights, Freyna’s ult is a particularly powerful tool that causes a lot of damage.

In the ult, Freyna switches to a weapon that shoots poisonous bullets. To get the most out of the ult, we need to increase weapon stats such as magazine size and rate of fire. It is also important to boost our skills.

    How do you get the most out of the build? Ideally, you should follow a certain pattern during the boss fight to cause even more damage with the build.

  • In the boss fight, switch to your secondary weapon “Lost Hope”.
  • Use your poison skills on the boss to activate the Lost Hope ultimate perk and increase your gun ATK.
  • Fire a shot with Lost Hope and reload to activate the Fire Fiesta weapon module.
  • Switch to Python – Fire Fiesta is still active.
  • Shoot the boss’s weak points with the python.
  • When the boss goes down on his knees, activate your ult (fourth ability: Baptism of Poison).

    • If Fire Fiesta’s cooldown has already expired, you can switch back to Lost Hope, fire another shot, and trigger Fire Fiesta again. If you start Poison Baptism with Fire Fiesta activated, you will use no ammo with the ability for a short time, allowing you to deal even more damage.

    Freyna Build – Reactor, external components and modules

    Reactor: Toxic Mechanical Reactor

    Why this reactor? The Toxic Mechanics Reactor is suitable for the Freyna build for several reasons. Firstly, it has the optimization condition that you have to equip the ultimate assault rifle “Lost Hope”, which gives you a bonus to your skill strength of 160%. Lost Hope is a good weapon for Freyna anyway thanks to the special ultimate perk – especially when eliminating mobs.

    In addition, the reactor increases your “Toxic Skill Boost Ratio” as well as your “TechSkill Boost Ratio”, which favors the use of your skills and further improves the build.

    External components: Metzler set

    Why these external components? The Butcher Set has a set bonus that is especially beneficial when using your ultimate ability “Poison Baptism”.

  • If you have two components of the set equipped, you increase your ammunition capacity by 8 percent
  • If you have four components of the set equipped, you also increase your ammunition per magazine by 9 percent, your skill costs by 15 percent, and your skill strength by 26.1 percent.

    • Due to the set effects, you do more damage with Poison Baptism and can also shoot with it for longer, since the increase in ammunition per magazine also affects the ability.

    Descendant modules

    Why these modules? The modules are designed to deal even more damage with your skills, especially your ultimate ability “Baptism of Poison”. Accordingly, the majority of the modules you choose increase your skill power, skill critical damage, and skill critical hit rate.

    Here you can see all the descendant modules used and what they do:

    Neurotoxin SynthesisChanges the effect of “Space 0 Trauma”: Does not spread poison, but adds “Atk Reduction” and “Weaken Regeneration”.Condition BattleIncreases max.

    Freyna Build: Weapons – Python & Lost Hope

    In this Freyna build, you use the two ultimate weapons “Python” and “Lost Hope”. Both weapons harmonize particularly well with Freyna’s poison abilities thanks to their ultimate perks and allow her to cause high damage.

    Why should you use these weapons? When you shoot a weak point with the Python, the submachine gun’s ultimate perk applies the “Loot” effect to the enemy. Loot reduces the affected enemy’s defense and poison resistance by 10 percent. This means you can inflict even more damage on a boss – especially with your “Poison Baptism” skill.

    Shooting a poisoned enemy with Lost Hope increases your gun attack. Additionally, poisoned enemies explode when you eliminate them with Lost Hope. This explosion deals additional damage to nearby enemies. Additionally, nearby enemies are also poisoned by the explosion.

    How do you best use the weapons? The Lost Hope assault rifle is very good for taking out mobs. The Python, on the other hand, is very strong for boss fights. The two weapons not only complement each other well, they also combine excellently in a boss fight:

    If you first poison a boss with your poison skills, then shoot him with “Lost Hope” and then switch to the Python, the Python will also benefit from the “Lost Hope” firearm attack boost.
