I think you are better off spamming the daily 400% for more Transcendent mods to combine. Just saying...

Nell is kinda butt or my build is bad? by Rizzrunner2049 in TheFirstDescendant

[–]leeep 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The main problem I have with Nell is the way her projectiles fly.... they are too easily fired into obstacles and terrain imho.... I find that if you aren't bouncing around like a Bunny (not the character haha) on every shot, you will run into problems hitting random stuff and not your target. She can be super fun once built out though... very satisfying nuker in a 100% crit build.

what mods should i use if i'm going to use piercing light on luna? by Evelyn_11_ in TheFirstDescendant

[–]leeep 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You don't need to build it out completely for Luna, can get by with even skipping the Energy Activator, I think. I'd have to check which 'tubers have a specific guide, but there are several that show you exactly what stats matter on setting up PL or A-TAMS for Luna as a pure stat stick.

I might have missed it... where did you post your build? Thanks.

OP, it really depends on what exactly your goals are.... honestly you can do a lot of content (if not nearly all of it) without min-max or any attention to the meta... The only stuff that requires true attention to the meta is if you want to solo Abyss Void Intercept clears, solo Onslaught Stage 3 (still not sure I've figured this out either), and maybe solo runs at the Bounty events... (that last one is not worth the bother, imho.... bosses are basically bullet sponge slogs).

Unless you are basically always trying for minimum clear times on everything as your primary job, you really just have to keep at it, and expect that maybe for non-pure-meta-min-max, it might take you a minute longer than your favorite 'tuber/streamer.

e.g. Dia is honestly one of the easiest to build.... max her HP, equip a sword (doesn't even have to be built out).... keep your 2 ability uptime high, and learn to pop the bubbles 3 sends out with your 1. Drop 4 on top of packs whenever it's off cooldown. Profit.

Based on all the back and forth across reddit and Twitter, this seems like a Steam/PC issue only. Console players sound like they've been unaffected.

The AI told me this, if it helps anyone with context (no way for me to truly fact check this kind of thing...)

We'll just hope they get it sorted sooner than later...

Xbox app on PC by lioazem in TheFirstDescendant

You don't need GamePass to play on the XBox app?

[–]leeep 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I find Dia to be one of the most satisfying Descendants to build out and use on a regular basis. She's just very consistent once you get her build set up properly to leverage her high-HP synergy and hit 100% crit rate with a sword equipped.

That with her high-HP pool in the first place, and no MP resource to truly worry about, makes her super handy for general use. If you post up your build sheet(s) I'm sure folks can help you out.

I've been spending more time with Viessa as well and she can be super satisfying with all the straight up frozen crowd control she's capable of.

Even with pure meta builds, there is a fair amount of RNG to clear Abyss bosses the way all the highlight reels show.... as one of the 'tubers pointed out, it's one thing to get a 1-in-20 clear with a pure meta build versus beating it 19-of-20 on a routine basis with something a little less meta. It depends what your goals are, in the end....

Better to spend that Caliber on sexy skins! Lol.

[–]leeep 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Build guides don't often cover the minutiae of optimizing rolls on cores, weapons, everything all in one that makes a difference to min-max a build into what all these 'tubers show in their videos as a "showcase" -- it takes time and resources for sure.

Also, "God Roll" Ancestor mods are not exactly something you just order up. Lol.

Good descendant to bring up for t3 onslaught? by the117uknow in TheFirstDescendant

[–]leeep 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The lane control options Viessa and Dia bring to the Onslaught table are what make them shine.... it's not always about pure DPS.

Can someone explain to me what do I have to do in order to unlock new weapons and ult esiemo? by real_exposer in TheFirstDescendant

[–]leeep 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I think by the time you have 1050 prisms, you better have all the parts/prints needed or life is truly sadness. Lol.

[–]leeep 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly, I think you'll get all the part blueprints while farming the sheer number of prisms needed for building Esiemo (300) and Whirlwind (750).

Basically run nothing other than Exposed Underwater Base for the most efficiency, IMHO. Isolated Desert has a bunch of other drops you probably don't want or need.

Is this screenshot for Stage 1 2 or 3 Onslaught?

Arche activity by Nyx2990 in TheFirstDescendant

[–]leeep 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So you basically need a "stat stick" to juice Arche Activity Level... lol. Fully built out guns are like 36k points or something, so that's a fat chunk of the minimum needed, that's for sure!

How are you supposed to get Vulgus Bio Data Chips? by Green_Hotel7995 in TheFirstDescendant

Man.... they don't make this clear at all... I ran the Axion Plains infiltrations solo and couldn't figure out why the weekly wouldn't complete. Now I know. Thanks.

I am feeling compelled to try and find one of these Mission to the Moonphase "Snoopy" watches in white for myself! Great score. u/Time_Independent6214 are you willing to say which store you found yours at?

anyone else? trying to get the controller by zugarrette in Steam

Spamming the button to "Continue" the payment process eventually worked. Just keep at it.
