Magnum Studio’s The First Descendant is currently down for maintenance, with a huge new update inbound today. It adds Ultimate Valby as the latest Ultimate Descendant and Luna as a brand new Support. You can also face off against a new Colossus, Gluttony. Check out the overview trailer to see all of this in action.
As outlined in the update 1.5.0 patch notes, Luna can increase the Power Modifier and Critical Hit Rate of allies’ Skills along with their damage. She can also shift to soothing music and restore MP when hitting enemies with notes. All skills will ramp up the Inspiration Gauge, granting access to Enhanced Skills, and timing your shots with her unique weapon increases her Skill Power Modifier.
Gluttony is a Hard Void Intercept Battle – defeating it grants the blueprint for Peace Maker, the new Ultimate Weapon. You can also earn External Components for the Hungry Sonic Set, granting Toxin Resistance at two pieces and MP recovery on hitting targets with a skill-based unique weapon. Essentially, Luna players will be busy farming the latter.
Check out some of the patch notes below for more details. The First Descendant is available for Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, PS4, PS5, and PC. You can read our review here.
