The First Descendant | Best F2P Freyna Builds: Dominate with No Energy Activators or Catalysts!

[@Mar10K0ng]

I have learned more from this video than from other creators videos. Sure I could just copy and paste some random person build but I wouldn't understand why or how that build works. This video helps me understand how to build freyna to fit my playstyle. Thank you for helping the community learn the mechanics of the game.

[@RealAsianRobot]

@Mar10K0ng no problem. There's a lot I'm still learning myself, but I want to communicate whatever I do learn after seeing what has worked for me in the field. I'll be working on the end game version soon so I can clear some hard bosses. Thanks for giving my content a chance! I appreciate it tremendously

[@VoroGG]

@@Mar10K0ng you need to watch more videos. This is really just a talk with no demonstration. Where is the lab? Where is the boss fight? I have no idea why he doesn't rank any of these mods up or get potatoes, they're all free. You can craft like 5 of them with just a couple hours of investment.. the actual crafting takes a while but the grinding only takes a couple hours. This build is extremely weak for Freyna. And duration is huge for ult based builds for bossing because you can increase your magazine size using mods on your mounted weapon. Grab a pistol for a dtat stick and slap larger mag, larger max ammo, and fire rate on it. This is a very bare bones video that is missing a LOT of details despite the information all being out there now.

[@mauiahu6689]

You make videos for about 99% of us that are F2P players, keep them coming

[@RealAsianRobot]

You know it 😁👍

[@michaelklein3244]

Is f2p different? I just started TFD still running around in the dark.

[@RealAsianRobot]

@michaelklein3244 F2P just means that we grind everything. I.e. we do not buy any boosters, descendants or items of convenience (energy activators or crystallization catalysts) as these can be farmed within the game. Skins cannot be grinded, you have to buy them, but they have no impact no builds or weapons.

[@ermagherd1204]

Just typed in budget Freyna build & here we go just uploaded 2 hrs ago good stuff!

[@RealAsianRobot]

Enjoy ;)

[@SiMpLyHoMiCiDe]

Add a fire rate mod and rounds per mag mod to the weapon you are wielding before activating your ult. My freyna’s ult has 70 rounds

[@RealAsianRobot]

Definitely will do for end game, but for most of the game considering the limited mod capacity, I find that it gimps the weapon I'm choosing. Definitely will add it in for the end game style though, cheers for the info

[@VoroGG]

​@@RealAsianRobotjust put it on a secondary weapon. You shouldn't ever need more than one to begin with, the game is easy as hell until end game bossing. With minimal investment, you can clear all of the hard mode content in a group and most of it solo

[@andreschmitz8729]

another top tier content my dude

[@bigsarge1982]

So if you have expanded mag, weapon tuning, fire rate up and bullet rain on whatever gun you have mounted it will apply to the ult. Got ammo up to 80 and it shot pretty fast to the point I needed to add duration in order to shoot all the bullets. Looks like damage only comes from skill power. The rate of fire and recoil seem to carry over from sharp precision shot. I use MP accelerant for duration to help with the mp loss from mp conversion; along with nimble fingers cooldown is at 41 seconds, skill extension only needed if you don't put fire rate up/bullet rain on the weapon. Front lines and skill concentration DO raise the crit damage on the ult, as well as skill insight raising the crit rate it seems like.

[@cixtos]

Respect for owning your mistakes ❤

[@RealAsianRobot]

Thanks!

[@dracularaven5024]

I have learned way more from this like honestly and I do believe the mod u were looking for is maximize power also u can use skill simplification to increase the damage but at the cost of mp

[@RealAsianRobot]

Maximize power is at the cost of cooldown so I was avoiding that haha. Skill simplification is good but it's more of the DoT side for end game. Definitely going to see how I can structure it into the mods (may drop it for duration and range though for the farming style, will see) Thank you very much for giving my content a chance though. I'm just happy to teach what I know as I progress through the game. F2P can be a very different journey so I like to show that perspective in my work.

[@dracularaven5024]

@@RealAsianRobot I currently use skill simplification and it also increases the impact of her 4 I'm currently hitting at 100k and 300k on crit with that on without it damage drops to around 95k and 195k on crit also with python's ability that actually increases the dot Also being f2p is a grind but it's worth the effort keep it up 🙃 If u have the contagion mod that helps with mobbing

[@RealAsianRobot]

Those two are known for sure 😁👍. I'm just trying to squeeze extra damage into it, but so far it doesn't appear to inherit other things

[@aaronhandy1579]

The sub stats on the weapons applies as well. Firing fiesta works and also analysis matter.

[@gamermike24]

I've got 2 energy activators and I think I'll spend one on Bunny, I need a proper farming descendant. I'm not sure what to use the second one on but some guides I've read say to use it on a gun. 🤷 Also, I got really lucky a few days ago opening my old amorphous materials that I got through the story. I scored six catalyst blueprints and got one whole catalyst near the end of the game. So my Bunny technically has seven slots I can half the capacity on. I haven't done anything yet as I've been farming the kuiper mine in Sterile Land for a few days with other players. I reached just over a million kuiper including the dupe mods I dismantled. So I'm not sure if one million will be enough to get Bunny ready for hard farming, I might have to continue farming that spot.

[@RealAsianRobot]

@Joker-mt9tt this is her old build fyi before changes were made to switch from defense to HP. This was what we used before that shift. Nowadays people use pretty much a standard build for normal mode. For end game content I'm waiting for ultimate Freyna to make any changes. So feel free to more or less ignore this as it will be reworked anyway

Can this build do hard colossus?

[@RealAsianRobot]

You need to advance it beyond this level, but take note that there has been a shift from the 'defense' stat over to the 'hp' stat instead. As per recent discoveries, the ideal of 32k (and now after further testing) 24k defense is much more suitable for survival. So these builds will be adjusted in the near future. An end-game Freyna bossing build is planned but you need the Python to really increase her ultimate's abilities.
