A COMPLETE GUIDE TO EXTERNAL COMPONENTS IN 2025 | The First Descendant

[@theFullMeasure]

Which External Component set is your favorite in The First Descendant?

[@Qballiz2kool]

Slayer. Why?, because most of my characters want skill dmg, so I pretty much have to use it 😂.

[@nullvoid2001]

Hunter set is the one I want to get gold rolls on, but I stopped cause the farm was brutal and I wasn't sure what the sub stat pools were.

[@erebus_nyx4294]

My favourite or most used sets for me is "slayer" and "annihilation"

[@220904416]

the best god roll i've ever gotten was a purple aux from a dungeon with 646 base hp, gold roll hp 903, and gold roll fire res 3419 or something in that neighbourhood

[@erebus_nyx4294]

I have to say you are doing amazing videos! And you deserve more viewers! Cheers you are awesome!

[@theFullMeasure]

Thank you so much 😀

[@user-vm3fm1cp8s]

Im new so this was extremely helpful! Thank you!

[@cesarramos7052]

Same the whole information helped a lot

[@Adamwms]

Appreciate this video , I was meaning to go around and get a bunch different components to see what has what etc. preferably the substats is what I wanted to know. Again thank you..

[@theFullMeasure]

Glad I could help

[@Rancid1xxx]

This is easily one of your top videos for TFD-- thank you very much. You are excellent at being concise and informative. I learned some things here as I was not certain as to what some of the sub-stats did. For example, the modifiers, I was not exactly sure what they did. I would really like to learn your logic of how you label sets to determine which is the farm set, which is the Interceptor boss set, etc. using just about 7-symbols. You can probably empathize that you farm for a while, get one or two that look like they are useful, park them in storage and then storage fills up because you have forgotten about most the items you put in there that looked interesting weeks/months ago. How do you keep your stash from looking like a homeless dude's shopping cart? This video helps a little because it provides targets. Maybe the next video will help with identifying set priorities. But, I doubt anyone has enough stash space to hold 2-3 versions of 4-5 sets of external components along with the numerous 'hold this for now until I get better items' and if they do-- who the hell can make sense of it without being overwhelmed? Make sense?

[@nohandle8008]

great video, thank you. looking forward to something on reactors also.

[@theFullMeasure]

Check the channel, I have 2 on reactors

[@MarioRodriguez-jq4mz]

This was great! Thanks so much! #subscribed 👋🏻

[@theFullMeasure]

Welcome aboard!

[@oibaf2001]

I think one thing to mention, is it important to have a matching module , meaning Hp won't do much for u if you have no hp descendant modules...otherwise great video...

[@johnydildo4285]

Great video as usual. I have slayer set with all gold, especially hp and mp, the hp is 915 and i cannot pass from there. I use slayer, polar bear for Viessa (cold boldness only), slayer with absolute zero for an aditional damage, and for my other descendants as well, gley with annihilation and and my random set with lots of hp, mp, consumable drop. But i've i noticed that i don't make more damage with the slayer set. And one tip for farming external components, if you have an external with the external components drop, equip it and you get better results.

[@spudbyte7621]

Good coverage of the sub-stats. Never knew the groupings. Gley breaks the standard sub-stat roles though... no shield. no MP. 😖

[@tomz6594]

I found the best way to make yourself hate life. Farming a good Invader set 😂

[@theFullMeasure]

Hahahaha

[@FlyOnTheWall10101]

You have a higher chance to win the lottery than getting a good invader set lol.

[@christianhellem]

Nice video. I think the item aq dist is quite important even w the dog. Especially concidering that the other things you can roll on the processor are maibly shield stuff and for most builds this cab be ignored. I feel i get more survivabillity by picking up more health and mp orbs withoutbgoing out of my way to get them, and the dog does not pick up those.

[@soni_nyc2829]

Thx for the video. This aspect of the game is still a little confusing for me. I tend to keep too many components because I'm not always sure what to keep and what to dismantle.

[@theFullMeasure]

You're welcome!

[@nullvoid2001]

Oh hell yeah

[@Ballistik1]

I don't want to be "that guy" that is always having to be revived so I have a tendency to go heavy in HP. So I have to usually have to have mash up or a combo or 2 different sets if they match the attribute. Slayer for sure on 99% of boss builds though. I have a really good roll on 2 decimator components that I use alot, and until I get one better they are usually a staple in my mobbing/farming/400 builds. They may not be the most powerful builds but they definitely are tanky and I am not "that guy", I just hate being a pain for teammates.

[@TheCosta5000]

I only use a full slayer set on hailey for.bossing. Everyone else gets what ever has highest hp or best sub stats.

[@aphyxia]

Are you sure that consumable drop rate increases resource (research stuff) drop rate? I thought it was just the HP/MP packs and ammo. Item acquisition distance can be useful for the same things since dog doesn't pick up health, etc. But the range is still small.

[@theFullMeasure]

Definately works for everything in the consumable tab, hard to test others but planatary materials might also be affected.

[@hanneswiehager2421]

Aphyxia, you are right. I've seen other creators testing this and what this actually boosts are only the hp- and mp-cubes you pick up from the ground (and possibly ammo). It doesn't boost any drops of items from the consumable inventory tab. The unfortunate fact that both these item categories are named consumables is probably a translation error.

[@hikmatmarashdeh2293]

so tired of farming max mp & mp in combat slayer set sensor 😡 thnx man for your lovely videos

[@Longjumping-War2484]

In D&D, the word your looking for is called accessories! Components are underrated in TFD. Example, if you're a magic user, of course you'll only be getting magic accessories! If you're a Barbarian, you'll want physical accessories! In D&D, these are essential!

[@amazo88]

accessories, equipments, components. does it really matter what they are called? we have to grind/farm for them nonetheless. feels like everything we do in this game is farming/grinding.

[@timvernon2923]

Hi great video, thank you. Is there some sort of priority order to the sub-stats? I do not seem to be very lucky in getting good stats on external components, which is the gold priority stat. as I have some with gold MP and gold Mp recovery with blue or purple other stat. So whilst trying for the perfect set which roll is best as gold? I hope that makes sense. Thanks again.

[@CodeLeeCarter]

I saw a video the other day with someone showing Grapple cooldown reduction, how or where would I find the grapple cooldowns? My grapple is every 5s, so it can be annoying.

[@SahilChikara]

i have a question that, each components from different ultimate-sets can have different intrinsic stat? for example: annihilator sensor: comes with DEF while Polar Night's sensor comes with HP?

[@theFullMeasure]

Yes that's correct, I mention it in the video as well when I compare Slayer to Polar

[@neckrofkr]

Wonder if Slayer will ever get passed in Skill dps.

[@theFullMeasure]

Good question

[@oldtimer3472]

I m still newbie build my chracter u.bunny in high voltage run ,,can u suggest me what a good external component for me ,,right now i m run supernova all

[@theFullMeasure]

Slayer is great for damage

[@chrismatney1397]

Really need a good Blair build

[@nullvoid2001]

Just to help anyone farming boss sets; keep in mind that each part doesn't have the same pool of sub stats as general ultimate components. For example the slayer sensor doesn't have a max hp Roll on it, and the slayer auxiliary doesn't have a max defense roll on it. Each boss component set has a specific set of sub stat rolls per piece. Hope this helps anyone farming double gold rolls for their builds.

[@y_strikes2770]

It doesn't help, post the rolls useless guy

[@nullvoid2001]

@y_strikes2770 there are too many to list, you can of course use the Internet.

[@theFullMeasure]

All substats pools are the same per External Component. Intrinsic rolls are fixed but different per set. Slayer's Intrinsic always rolls Max Shield on Sensor, but Polar Night for example always rolls(on the intrinsic) Max HP on Sensor. I explained this in the video. For pool rolled substats if you are looking for Max HP, you will only find it on Aux Power.

[@jamaul1391]

I run HP and defense with mp recovery on them all, it makes all my characters tanky af and as for ajax ut legit makes him a unlikable jumping jack😂
