With the latest hotfix live, Magnum Studio has outlined the first major post-launch content update for The First Descendant. Available on August 1st, it adds Ultimate Valby as a new Ultimate Descendant (ironic considering the “Valby run” got nerfed) and Luna, a brand new Descendant.
Ultimate Valby has two exclusive Modules – Spiral Tidal Wave, which replaces Ubble Bullet, and Hydro Pressure Bomb, which replaces Plop Plop. As for Luna, she’s more of a Support Descendant, increasing skill power and reducing resource consumption with music. Furthermore, her synthesizer gun deals more damage when fired with the rhythm.
Gluttony is the next Colossus, equipped with “systems to mine Void Energy and a cooling system to cool the heat generated during this process.” The latter seems to imply that Heat resistance is necessary, but defeat it, and you’ll receive some new Ultimate weapons, including the Peace Mediator. Check out the other content inbound next week, including the new Ultimate Module and Luna’s Modules.
Season 1 of The First Descendant begins in late August and adds more content. Head here to check out the roadmap.
Week 5 Update Preview
Sea of Emerald, “Ultimate Valby”
Finally, the Magisters have completed the ultimate project for Valby. This ultimate equipment, called “Sea of Emerald,” has fulfilled Valby’s long-held desire. It is a nano suit that replicates Valby’s former body color and texture. Although covered in a thin layer, Valby feels like regaining a long-forgotten part of herself.
Ultimate Valby’s Modification Modules
– Spiral Tidal Wave: Replaces the Bubble Bullet, which was difficult to aim, with a projectile that flies straight. Spiral Tidal Wave attracts the impurities of Gluttony, making it an excellent choice for intercepting Gluttony.
– Hydro Pressure Bomb: Instead of “Plop Plop,” it leaps forward and deals damage to enemies around the landing area. The more enemies in the laundry state, the more powerful the damage, making Hydro Pressure Bomb a strong finishing blow. Instead of diving into the water, leap joyfully forward!
A New Descendant, “Luna”
The Mad Artist Luna has returned to Albion after a long wandering performance. Luna’s synthesizer gun becomes more powerful when fired in rhythm, enhancing allies’ abilities based on the performance. When Luna dances to upbeat music, allies’ skill power increases, and when dancing to relaxing music, allies’ mentality recovers and resource consumption decreases. Invite everyone to Luna’s concert. Unfortunately for Virgus, it will be their last stage, but Luna’s performance is just beginning!
Luna’s Modification Modules
– Nimble Footsteps: Enhances Luna’s mobility and amplifies the effect range of her performance, allowing for more effective ally support.
– Noise Surge: Transforms Luna from a supporter to a combat dealer. Dashes towards enemies in rhythm, dealing damage to nearby enemies. When the inspiration gauge is full, summons a stage to recover mental strength and shields. Provide enemies with a terrifying musical experience with Noise Surge!
Gluttony
The mutated Devourer-type Gluttony is a giant that indulges in Void Energy. It is equipped with systems to mine Void Energy and a cooling system to cool the heat generated during this process. To counter Gluttony, you need measures to withstand its cooling performance and the judgment to exploit its greedy temperament. Intercept Gluttony and collect new ultimate weapons and external components.
New Ultimate Weapon “Peace Mediator”
When meditation is necessary to bring peace to Ingris, the new ultimate weapon Peace Mediator is the perfect solution. This powerful hand cannon is effective even with single shots but can unleash a burst of bullets to deliver powerful firepower under the right conditions.
New Ultimate Module “Arche Concretion”
Provides Arche Concretion effect, which increases defense and mentality when using skills but decreases movement speed and attack power. It is particularly useful for Luna and Ajax and can be a good choice for players who want stable skill use. Your choices are free; combine various Modules to create your unique build.
