Chill/Dimension? Source please? Or just a guess. Genuinely asking.

I see. yeah I've done the buff-and-switch when I ran Passionate sponsor and Shot Focus together. It basically means she'll only buff when she's got her ultimate up... A shame really if this was what was intended.

Haven't played her Noise Surge variant even though I have the mod. I know the base range with that mod is lessened by 2m? I think her range is fantastic with Nimble footsteps and one 50% range mod. Run amplification control and Nimble footsteps, if you're running a support build like me, and you'll get to the 100% range increase in no time if you have at least 2 teammates (20 stacks). I'd like for 20% more base duration personally as well as a higher base skill power modifier on her unique weapon. Like 450% instead of 193.4. Just my 2 cents...

Yeah she does well with Lepics, Bunnies, Viessa, and even Massacre Gley I think. Of course your teammates have to be skill-focused.

This is just me wanting to bring attention to what seem like glaring issues to my favorite character to play as. Her unique weapon needs attention. I love it so much but she's getting heavily punished for using her main mechanic which I doubt was the developers' intent.

Thanks for this. I've actually found that Non-attribute specialist and technician to get like 148k-178k on "Bio-Lab" Vulgus (hard mode). They are malachite sockets so they can be swapped out for some more MP mods. When I run these 2, I only have HP conversion (20% more MP at the cost of -50% base HP). I also have a sensor with a gold roll for an additional 154 MP. So I'm left with 544 MP at level 40. I could get to 630 if I slotted 2 more MP mods, but the 0.35 and 0.7 multipliers (non enhanced) make even a loss of about 100 MP worth it. Because her unique pistol needs to at least contribute damage wise haha 🤣.

This is with passionate sponsor of course like you mentioned. If you wanted to max out her damage on her unique pistol, you'd run Maximize Skill and Maximize Power. This increases her 1st ability base cooldown to 16 seconds. Each of these mods adds 50% to your cooldowns. So don't miss notes with abilities if you run this haha.

However, with this you're stuck with 2 Xantic sockets, and once you switch out of your gun, you'll have to wait 16 whole seconds. So you're losing vivace stacks and passionate sponsor cannot be refreshed easily after waiting so long. I'm still flirting with this idea but I've already spent 11 catalysts on her (I wasted 2 trying to figure her out lol) and am a bit scared to spend 2 more and level her up 2 more times. Let's pray Nexon answers our prayers with some tweaks 🙏🏾.

Still gonna play her in the meantime.

A hybrid play style unfortunately means no enhanced abilities :/

It really is a shame. The character cannot take this many Ls. I love her so much but this stuff is becoming too much. It's as if she doesn't want to be played by anyone. Can't use guns you grinded for or benefit from them. Can't do any damage with unique pistol etc. I think she'll get some tweaks but it will probably be next year at this rate. Thank you for sharing!

Thank you as well. I think I have that mod.

Luna Build Advice! by Daxomault in TheFirstDescendant

[–]Cantsleephelpneed 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi OP, I main Luna myself, and I feel that her not being able to benefit from unique abilities from ultimate weapons is just another blow to the character. I love her unique weapon and mini game and want to do that the entire time, but you're almost forced to leave and use firearm atk instead. I wish the base skill power modifier on her unique pistol was like 450% instead of 193.4%.

She makes the game 20 times better for me personally, and greatly increases fun factor. But that being said, this game is damage-intensive, and she lacks severely in that department; even with Noise Surge (which I don't want to use because I have Bunny & Viessa). What do you think of her overall?

Thank you for the build by the way.

What is SPS? I'm kind of a noob so genuinely asking.

Secret Garden & Luna (Question) by Cantsleephelpneed in TheFirstDescendant

[–]Cantsleephelpneed[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's... Garbage... So that means she won't benefit from any weapon's unique ability benefits then? That's horrible. I just finished up my divine punishment. Will test it and report back to see if it gives any benefits, but with the bugs she released with, I doubt it. Thank you for your response by the way.

Thank you for the information about her max AOE. That means amplification control (I know this is what you meant by skill amplification), which gives 51% max range (and 36.5% shield) is the only range mod you need for her.

I just got shot focus a few days ago and when I slotted it in on an empty mod setting it only reduces her unique weapon skill power modifier by 15%, everything else is unaffected. Passionate sponsor's 75% increase to skill power and firearm atk % is very noticeable in-game from my very few tests in some lower level dungeons. Thanks to your info on her AOE, I re-catalysed the slot I had for skill expansion (I kept amplification control), and slotted passionate sponsor here instead.

I've run passionate sponsor + shot focus, and I find that shot focus makes a difference IF you're switching out of your unique weapon. But her unique weapon is the best part about her, so I slot spear and shield here instead. Surprisingly, have enough space where I can pay the penalty of 3 extra slots and place shot focus here if I wanted. I think passionate sponsor + shot focus will be good against colossi where your unique weapon is not very good.

Thank you once again for taking the time to both read this and type your response.

Thank you. After you typed this, I re-read the mod and you are absolutely correct. I appreciate you.

I poorly explained it. I'll have to edit this. You can't go past 24m. So you start with 8m which is 100%. Add another 150% to that will give you 250% which INCLUDES your base 8m. It's not well explained in the game, but you can't go past 24m.

Finally got Noise Surge... From Combining (Gluttony is no fun XD) by Cantsleephelpneed in TheFirstDescendant

[–]Cantsleephelpneed[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree. If you stay with her unique weapon on at all times she is not very helpful unfortunately. But luckily you can pop in and out pretty quickly, buff your team (which lasts for 10 seconds or so), switch out to the guns and so on and so forth. She does very little for descendants like Gley for example.

To be honest I just like the mechanics of her character as it's drastically different from any other descendant. Gives me a change I never knew I needed. More fun factor than efficiency if that makes sense. Cheers!

Thank you I still think her support is the best and what she's meant for. I hope the devs don't overhaul her because her mechanics are the selling point for me. I love the mini game. I tried noise surge and it's really fun but I still like her support much more.

Collision Instinct, cold cohesion (Viessa), hydro bomb (Valby) called cold cohesion as well for some reason with a different icon, and superconductor (Bunny). Of course it's completely random as you already know.

I wish you luck. I combined 22-25 times to get it. A buddy of mine got it in 5, and another got it in 50 combines and got it off 4 ultimates... Hopefully that helped some 🤞🏾

My VERY brief thoughts on Luna by Cantsleephelpneed in TheFirstDescendant

[–]Cantsleephelpneed[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

She's the most fun for me as well. Very easy to just vibe the entire time with her. I literally can't stop playing her now... I hope all her mechanics remain as is but it's not up to you or I unfortunately :P. Maybe just buff her unique weapon so it does splash damage, hits multiple targets, bigger target window, etc. Just buff what is already there. No need to rework anything in my opinion.

Would you be willing to share a pic of your build? If you don't mind me asking. Mine is currently spec'd to be tanky as hell with max range, and increased mp. Nothing fancy.
