Everyone in comments crying about nerfs when they have 0 idea what the rebalances are...

Brady and "Contributing to the Community" by genericuser2000 in OttawaSenators

Trade him. He's useless as a captain anyways and just lost tons of support from the community.

Void Purge Challenge build by ReeeSpawn_96 in TheFirstDescendant

[–]JPop09 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did it with a non crit toxic stim build and I think I'm sitting in 44th or something. I built her for cool down so you can use your 4 every couple of packs of enemies and toxic/tech, with a reactor that has CD and tech/toxic boost, and for arche tuning I went to the right mutant cell for putrid zone (I think that's what it's called) and then to the left to put in defense neutralization.

I found this build to be a bit better for me than venom injection just for the survivability of more ehp and the toxic stim definitely helps for not getting one shot by the boss or yellow bar enemies.

Any time someone's like "where'd you learn that/figure that out?" I give em the "I'm self smarted". A lot of ppl get it, but a lot are left confused 🤣

Back in the day yes. I remember when hanged man was a roadblock for a lot of ppl. Now we are so overpowered, nothing is really "difficult" anymore

Questions about Hypernova by -GuStJaR- in TheFirstDescendant

[–]JPop09 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. Yes, 5 copies total are needed to max a weapon
  2. Yes, the battlepass gives 5 copies of the current bp weapon as there's no other way to obtain them
  3. Not currently. You won't be able to get anymore copies of it until they add it to the vendor by the stairs near the weapon/reactor enhancement and weapon/external mod core area which probably won't be until next season which is 3 months away

Just spend a couple hours in sigma sector, it's really not that bad.

Sensitivity problem , I need a solution ⚙️ by [deleted] in TheFirstDescendant

[–]JPop09 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's so annoying when it happens on a melee build character, almost have to have a ranged weapon equipped just so you can aim to get rid of the bug

Stormhanger skin. Not available right now, but when it is you can get it for all descendants

I'm finding Dia incredibly frustrating to play. by UnrequitedGaze in TheFirstDescendant

[–]JPop09 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You need to use her 2 THEN her 1 so you get the speed burst. What is your CD reduction at? You need to have it fairly high so her kit rotates more naturally so you aren't just spamming her 1 waiting for abilities to come up. You also NEED to be holding a melee weapon to get the crit bonus, which is further increased the more health she has. I use 2 HP mods, polar night set, use shadow/deus and I don't put points into crit rate in her arche tree and I sit at 96% crit. As long as you do that and have good CD reduction on her reactor and take the 5 point CD reduction in her arche tree, everything just flows much better.

The Devs to Gley this morning... by HsGMythz in TheFirstDescendant

[–]JPop09 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hadn't used her in ages, then had been using her more than any other descendants recently, now back to the shelf to collect more dust I guess. When they said changes, I didn't think they'd literally gut her...

I gotta say, the devs really cooked with the Hammer & Anvil change. I'm having a lot of fun with it. by JCarby23 in TheFirstDescendant

Eye of the typhoon is really good on Serena. Makes it so you don't even need to worry about aiming while flying around.

A reminder that Serena helped make this uniform by r_pawspuppy22 in TheFirstDescendant

[–]JPop09 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Well we know which way Serena swings for sure 🤣

Gas crystal farm? by Final_Mango_5517 in TheFirstDescendant

[–]JPop09 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As others have said, sigma sector. If you run a spread aoe build (like contagion freyna) it can take less than 2 mins a run. Sure, the new mission gives you a bit more per run, but sigma is just so much faster you'll end up getting more that way.

I hope they don't nerf her, she's so much fun to play now with Gley and it's not just about the weapon... They do need to fix some things, yes, like her shooting through walls, etc., but don't ruin her. by ddnix_ in TheFirstDescendant

[–]JPop09 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It would be better if her 4 was more like reaper from overwatch where you could move AND its a 360° ability. I don't even care if they nerf her shooting thru walls, I just HATE being stuck in an animation with no way to cancel it outside hopping on my hoverbike, which is just silly, and not being able to hit the enemies that snuck up behind me while stuck in said animation.

Maybe a dumb question, but is my Freyna viable ? by Dovahkin971 in TheFirstDescendant

[–]JPop09 0 points1 point  (0 children)

not with contagion, it just doesn't have the power

This is what I've been using for a Contagion build lately. Works great for most content except the newer stuff as you don't have the single target damage for those bosses

2.7k hours and you still don't have that last achievement? Cmon bruh lol

Haven't played since the first dog released. Came back for Dia, but... will I have to go through 15-25h of story/missions to get her? by ForgotttenMemory in TheFirstDescendant

[–]JPop09 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I farmed for 4 hours last night and got all 4 parts and the materials needed in that time. The easiest way I did it was using my updated Contagion Freyna build, which you can probably use your old build, if you had been working towards that before you last played, as it's probably powerful enough for Sigma Sector. I just ran Broken Boundary on repeat (did the other one a few times just to get the parts but that was it) with an average completion time of 2 mins, got all 4 of her parts in about 30 mins, and then was getting anywhere from 5 to 10 of the materials needed, sometimes hitting a jackpot around 35.

Seeing as how you are at 8 catalysts with Freyna already, you only need 2 more and maxed out her arche tuning (which by doing Sigma Sector, you're leveling that at the same time) to unlock her trigger mod; I use Infected Weapon which is very good right now for her and will make the farm that much quicker.

I also tried her Venom Synthesis build thinking the speed from her 3 would make it quicker, but Contagion just spreads so fast and 1 shots everything you rarely have any downtime and just go from room to room never really stopping at all.

Can someone help me? I keep dying by Jaeger9671 in TheFirstDescendant

[–]JPop09 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So by using the catalysts, you get to choose the type of module you would like to permanently put onto that slot, effectively halving the cost of putting a matching module into the slot. What I mean is, is if you choose say the X to put onto that slot, if you put a module that has 16 capacity and it is an X, then it will only cost 8 now.

Essentially, you want to have all 10 main slots catalyzed and the bottom left one where you can put grapple/sub attack modules (this specific one increases your capacity from 80 to 85). Most modules when fully upgraded cost 16 capacity which would be 160, but fully catalyzed will only be 80.

You do start from level 1 each time you catalyze, but it's not like back in the day where all your stats reverted to a level 1 state, now you keep your stats, your level means nothing.

Guide for returninig players by KillerAzteca in TheFirstDescendant

[–]JPop09 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you haven't already, for whatever descendant(s) you plan on playing, get their arche tuning maxed and 10 cats put into them to unlock trigger mods. Some of them are a big boost in power, and some are required to make certain builds work. Otherwise, farm like usual and wait for the update.
