Tips For Starting The Endgame In The First Descendant

[@SwashBuccaneer]

HP and DEF are king, but Shield is solid for Enzo, Kyle, and Jayber.

[@MillerTheOriginal]

@@SwashBuccaneer why Jayber?

[@SwashBuccaneer]

His turrets get some of his shield (75% I believe off the top of my head) so not bad to buff them up more just to make them stick around longer when enemies swarm them. The activated med turret is quite the little tank when the taunt works lol. I wouldn't go hog wild on max shield with him but not the end of the world if you can dedicated some extra shield cap.

[@MillerTheOriginal]

@@SwashBuccaneer that's interesting I didn't check some of the skill statistics when using him. I looked earlier and the modules for increased health compared to increased shield are alot better. I.e they improve the max % by more for the same cost. When paired with the fact most of if not all descendants have a higher base HP than shield, its hard to invest in it

[@Nembus101]

Jayber don't need shield

[@OneKauz]

So I just recently got to end game & hard mode farm. Tbh end game became x1000 easier then just getting there. The common bosses were way harder for any given level by far

[@ljiljankocurcic8893]

I ran through 2 last areas in the story mode with Eternal Willpower weapon and progressed into hard mode. After few hours and many hard mode missions I accidentally noticed that my EW is actually level 81. That was shocking to me, but also it shows how good it actually is :D

[@Zafiro_Regio]

ayyy finally a video popped up praising the Eternal Willpower! fav AR for the style and power

[@JetsetCorn]

Thanks bro!!! This help me a lot especially going through beginning of end game maps

[@ItzPixel]

Glad it could help :)

[@STE3ANHAY1988]

Just get any level 100 weapon and just use the workbench if struggling with defeating enemies then you have your fav weapon at 100

[@sleepyx10k22]

@@STE3ANHAY1988 agreed, although I’m not sure it was mentioned in the video, but when you do so, the 4 sub stats on the weapon stay at base drop. So merging a level 90weapon to 100 actually is worse cuz the sub stat rolls at 100 are capped out higher and have a minimum base that could be gold before iykwim

[@Twizzler300]

Ajax is king. Reflects bullets back, huge AoE damage that applies stun, super cube that boosts all defensive stats, horns.. what else? 3:31 theres a mod for shield recover on kill to. Its ONLY obtainable by combining mods. Same with a huge gunplay mod,i forget what its called, but it scales firearm attack and reduces skill power..

[@ItzPixel]

Yeah I was looking for that shield mod so weird it only comes from combining modules

[@Danielunited115]

Hello 👋 pixelz I hope you're are doing good today, I know I'm not a regular here but I just found you're channel just a few weeks ago. I enjoy you're content very honest and always glad to help people out. Keep up the good work and see you around.

[@ItzPixel]

Thank you! I'm glad you enjoy the content :)

[@MadKurupt]

I highly suggest rolls that drop extra kuiper and consumables for the code breakers extra chance. Once you level up your descendant you will be able to move away from defensive to offensive mods, also as you adjust to hard mode. Truth is every one is farming everything in hard so ppl always around to help and make things go smooth. Been having a really great time lately. Bunny best farmer for me :)

[@CarySmith87]

Make things go smooth? Yeah. Unless you're trying to stealth infiltration as Sharen and the random Bunny or Gung ho Gley show up and ignore your begging for stealth lol

[@gferd]

@@CarySmith87 That's why i always go private for Sharen infiltrate farming. Public for void farming and "gung ho" outpost when it's up.

[@davidmorgan3359]

You want to try Vespers frontline base as well. Lots of people are doing it for the HP collector mod, after 50 or 60 attempts, because the drop rates are garbage in this game.

[@ItzPixel]

I have got that mod randomly from somewhere a few times don't know if it was from void fusion reactors when I was trying to get something else

[@karmaq8462]

The mods change locations on certain days there's a way to look at it ,but not on console .

[@ItzPixel]

Open the map and click in the right stick on console you can also view the upcoming loot changes there

[@TimmyWitDaSemii]

Id recommend checking out action and reaction mod for your primary. Gonna up your damage a lot!

[@gferd]

Without recoil eternal will power screen shake while aiming hurt my eyes. I use action and reaction with 2 recoil (blue + purple) mod to make it bearable.

[@makecodgreatagain6049]

@@gferd 😂😂 weak asf bro wth

[@gferd]

@@makecodgreatagain6049 my eyes weak or the recoil mod that make your gun weak ? Try using eternal will power then using MagnusAA, to make eternal Willpower with Action and Reaction have same ish recoil as MagnusAA must slot blue and purple recoil mod. Well, if your eye strong and don't need recoil, maybe you can add weak point damage/ crit hit damage to increase DPS.

[@saabvikinggamer77]

[@DaddylH]

You can prestige your sub attack module for an extra 5 slots! Hope the info helps.

[@natanvalladares2916]

i"m not sure about that, the display on the left screen under the satuses say it"s only +10 and i polarized mine to get an extra mod space like it's in warframe, but beside the green number saying 15 the status in itself say otherwise. i'm confused with that.

[@thejosepharias]

he means it lowers the value so you get more points

[@ItzPixel]

Basically it's worth it to get an extra 5 capacity

[@kelmirosue3251]

I suggest giving Blair a try, his playstyle is hella fun

[@puppetmaster6446]

At end game I noticed you don’t get Liquid Metal breaking down level 100 weapons. Have you found a farm for Liquid Metal. Thanks in advance 👍

[@ItzPixel]

interesting, i've still be acquiring liquid metal, not sure how i've been getting it though. According to a website you're supposed to get it from weapon dismantling though and killing stunning beauty. Edit: Just ran Stunning Beauty and didn't get any mats so not sure why they suggested that lol

[@its_a_MADD_world]

Couldn't you just go to a lower level area where the weapons aren't level 100 and break them down? I get lower level items all the time when I go to other areas to do dailies.

[@puppetmaster6446]

@@its_a_MADD_world yeah, that’s what I am doing. Just seems weird I finally get to level 100 and then I have to go back to lower levels to farm. If Liquid Metal’s weren’t important it would be no big deal but you need tons of that stuff. Thanks for the advice.

[@ItzPixel]

I paid attention to scrapping level 100 weapons and it was giving me the liquid metal

[@Pensive_Impact]

This was great, thanks

[@zartius]

What is the secondary color you used for the suit? Looks awesome !

[@sleepyx10k22]

Solid tbh… I wanna throw something at you tho, with shield being a very slow regen it’s more useless cuz you can’t regen it easily. Between mp, hp, shield, def that’s too many mod slots too try and fill. And too many things to focus on. If you swapped shield out for focus on hp. 13% hp 1 shield mod. You’d see a way bigger boost that the hp would give than that shield. Tbh tho your hp is straight 10k is fine. I have 15.5k on gley. Ur def and SP mad low tho. With mine being 43k at max there’s a huge margin there. And when I build towards inf bullets we both shouldn’t cap at 19k Skill power. That’s all. I think you should look at your mods again is all. Once you reach 100, you already being there but for anyone else, take a look at the mod menu that shows all the mods. Look through them. You should’ve just played the entire campaign with that character you should know how they play, what they do best, and what you need to keep you Alive. Rebuild your mods. You’ll come to find with the 500 of them, there are a lot that only drop in hard mode that would do what base mods do but better with an affect.i found myself rebuilding my mod set 4 times up to frost walker hard mode, perfecting it inna way. So look through, there are sum crazy ones ngl.

[@sleepyx10k22]

Little side note sorry…. Resistances are meh and should only be put on mods if needed. Fire is easy to resist base anyway, frost and electric are the worst for damage and toxic tics the longest. But with higher def that don’t rly matter

[@ItzPixel]

Yeah my Def used to be a lot higher but I think I scrapped some components that were high in DEF by mistake. I used to have 39k Def. I've been trying to farm some new set pieces but the drops on them are ridiculous. Was going for the Veteran marksman ones but they just don't drop where they say they do, very odd, done 30 runs of a mission and not a single one...then you'd have to get the right stats to drop too...wish there was a way to level the components or change the rolls on them

[@sleepyx10k22]

@@ItzPixel yeah I feel that, the non sensical min-max grind just so your build is right. And Fr tho they need component something, leveling or merging or even sub stat rerolling. There’s way too many of em that drop, and I find some lower level ones are way better than the 100s just due to sub stat

[@burkarama]

YAY!!!! Thank you for this ❤

this was made for you and Dustin mainly

[@burkarama]

@@ItzPixel yay! I’m getting through the campaign a little each night so I can come play with you

Good luck! haha

[@burkarama]

@@ItzPixel You miss the chaos of playing with me. i know it

[@TanyaDegurechaff96]

By the weapons guide,ultimate weapons are useless after the campaign?

[@Dreambanan]

Despite on diminishing on defense this stat is not that good. I calculated effective health pool and the best ratio is 5k-10k def and all other is just hp. Because of that module for increase def is miserable and not necessary. Double HP modules is better.

[@ItzPixel]

Yeah I have been running double HP modules too, one that gives me more skill power too

[@Alaa-2-1]

5:10 But how can i get this much of mods.. Like i can't even level them up because the capacity is low

[@duskyer]

Energy Activators increase module capacity of either gun or character by 20. Crystal Catalysts halve the cost of certain modules based on the symbol you select. You can only use a Catalyst on a max level character or max proficiency gun and doing so resets them to 1. Also level up the module that goes in the bottom left as it increases capacity as well.

[@Alaa-2-1]

@@duskyer is the simples when we use the catalyst matters?

[@duskyer]

@@Alaa-2-1 what?

[@Alaa-2-1]

@@duskyer When using the catalyst, you choose from 5 simples before fusing it, for example, into a descendant. Is that a simples matter or you can use whatever

[@duskyer]

@@Alaa-2-1 I have no idea what you mean by saying simples. Do you mean the socket type? Because yes that matters. When deciding a socket type the icon you choose has to match the icon on the module you want to halve the cost of.

[@ryanirl2398]

As a warframe, player, this game takes too much investment per character,

[@drmalc0m]

"shield are useless" > proceed to max the shield module 🤣

[@ItzPixel]

For starting endgame it helps to have the shield maxed Edit: Also I had the shield module maxed on 2nd day of the game being out because no one knew what was better at the time.

[@alaskayoung3413]

eternal will power or tamer?

[@ItzPixel]

Depends what you prefer using. I don't like using LMGs in looter shooters so I went for the Eternal Willpower. But both are good options for whatever you're wanting to do. I will say the one downside to the Eternal Willpower is the clip size but I've found it definitely hits harder

[@Bdizzy420]

Does everyone get the same drops like gold n shards or is it shared

[@ItzPixel]

When enemies are killed you will get separate drops from everyone else

[@Bdizzy420]

@@ItzPixel thank you man i thought i was taking everyone shit lol

[@Bdizzy420]

i cant figure out what mp stat is to

[@ItzPixel]

MP is your descendants "energy" for skill, it's usually the blue bar under your skill, I call them Mana point lol which is kinda what they are

[@zotthefirstjs]

Personally I would say resistance is a waste. I have less than 20 resistance for all elements and 42k defense with roughly 9k hp. So far I have no issues in hard mode.

[@Soril2010]

@@zotthefirstjsI had similar stats, now swapped Def for HP to about 20k Def and 16k hp, I'll take about 10% more damage but heal 60% more on hp collector procs

[@ItzPixel]

It definitely helps against bosses though so they don't tick your health down faster

[@zotthefirstjs]

@@ItzPixel if that's the concern wouldn't the immunity mods be better bang for the space.

[@zotthefirstjs]

@@Soril2010 yeah I've seen that work for me as well. That's why I think auto immunity mod is so strong. Essentially at 40k Def. The 10 percent incoming damage reduction is equivalent to 20k of your def.

[@ItzPixel]

the immunity mods don't build up enough resistance for the bosses since the max on them is like 5k. Also the auto immunity is such a low resistance for all of them it isn't worth building into, stacking it with components is better

[@JOHNSMITH-vx5yz]

Yeahh. Im having trouble changing my power. Pack things on the right hand side. , how do i do it. Im stumped.

[@Supa262]

How the gel to you effectively grind back to lvl 40 soo many times!?? It’s too much

[@ItzPixel]

Yeah it takes ages but the horde missions are the best thing to do to level up

[@Staggeringking_]

Hi, just wondering but if you increase mod capacity/change slot symbol for a purple (or any) weapon, do all weapons with that same name have more mod capacity/changed slot symbols too or just that one particular copy of it? Thanks for the video

[@ItzPixel]

I believe it's every copy of that gun but you'd have to get multiple of them to check, I'm pretty sure if you had 2 Eternal Willpowers for example, the modules are shared so I imagine the sockets would be too

[@Staggeringking_]

@@ItzPixel Thanks for the reply! Yeah, I tried the catalyst on a purple wep and my other copy of the same wep got the same effect from it, just like how module set-up is shared. Pretty certain the energy activator is shared too then but haven't tried yet. Hopefully catalysts aren't shared between copies of Descendants tho lol, or rip build diversity

[@EnConV]

Where can I farm the different external components?

[@ItzPixel]

It will tell you where you can get them in the access info. Also if you have beaten the campaign, you can bring the map up and click rewards info at the bottom. That screen will tell you what components are currently dropping in the world, it's usually 2 per loot rotation

[@EnConV]

@ItzPixel I see, when I pull up the rewards menu I only see the reactors. I think im missing it somewhere lol

[@ItzPixel]

Yeah if you scroll down past the reactors it will show you what components are currently dropping

[@EnConV]

@@ItzPixel awesome thank you so much!

[@kongxiong543]

Whats a good hp amount?

[@ItzPixel]

I've found 10k+ to be really solid. Definitely 4k minimum for starting hard mode content. Then having about 40k DEF is good too, shield just isn't worth it on some descendants

[@sleazydzx]

I could've saved so much kuiper and gold if I would've farmed ultimate components with HP and Def before enhancing so many Def and HP modules. Now that I have the proper components I've now got maxed out modules I don't need lol

[@Ads-x5j]

Like you said " there's no real goal to the endgame". That's why I don't see the point in spending time on it. You can spend the rest of your life upgrading and increasing your power rating but if there is no need or point of doing it,why bother ?

[@gmanzx3]

@@Ads-x5j you might as well say the same thing about any OTHER game, this game is a personal preference. I love grinding for different things , getting into missions , trying different modules, guns, again. Saying “whats the point of playing the game” its like saying whats the point of even having a console or pc to even play games to begin with. Even if you max out on every thing, you can still enjoy your powerful weaponary, make content , whatever, and ultimately, this isn’t a “pay to win” game like any other games these days.

There is an end game lol, would be reaching 100.. 40 on ur character, maxing ur mod slots, maxing ur weapons, min maxing ur weapons, min maxing ur reactors and components.
