The Ultimate Freyna Build - Underrated Module - Gunner Build Damage Boost - The First Descendant

[@OrneryBiscuit]

Hey there! Apologies again if I sound stuffy, I caught some sort of flu yesterday and wasn't at my 100%. That also cost me some time in recording my voice and editing hence the late upload. I will be uploading the weekly reactor farming spots later today still. I'll try to make it so I upload it quick but this flu is slowing me down. Have a great day everyone! ❣

Hope you feel better soon. Thank you for the Freyna build guide. Appreciate you.

Terrific video that spends time explaining the various aspects with training room demos. Looking forward to other videos from you!

Thank you! I missed one though, I failed to test increased power vs toxic master because some people's DPS increase a lot more with increased power where here I am losing 2k damage when I use it @.@

[@jonathanmarin2088]

Damn, girl. This is by far the best video I’ve seen. You explained everything we need to know about Freyna and without any detail left behind. Everyone else, literally create one video for each build, only to get more views on more videos, but what you made here, is just outstanding. You earned my sub and like. Congrats and keep going like this.

[@OrneryBiscuit]

Thank you so much! I might make separate builds though based on requests like I'm about to make a frost watcher Hailey build because there are people asking for it But I'll try to make builds with concise explanations. I'm also learning along the way 😊

[@retrochuuni9124]

The quality of your videos are phenomenal and it's very clear you thoroughly do your research and take it sincerely. Even though you just started making videos you already seem way more informative and professional than any other TFD content creator in my opinion. And it shows you genuinely enjoy this game and are not doing this for views and click bait like i usually see on KZbin. You explain everything in detail and and in a way that everyone can understand ranging from people like myself that have 900 hours experience to those with only 9 hours of experience and I think thats a great quality of your videos and is very appreciated. I look forward to your future content and wish you success in building your channel. Thank you very much.

[@erwinberkers5637]

@@OrneryBiscuit The toxic stimulation crazy build looks insane, haven't gotten that module yet, but will definitely try that. Not sure I understand math behind the 56% increase in ATK at 10 stacks of passionate sponsor, but still a huge damage increase.

[@OrneryBiscuit]

It really isn't a flat 20% or 75% damage increase but we calculate it's effective % increase Just as when you calculate in the rock-paper-scissors mechanics between crush, pierce and burst. The damage increase when winning the mechanic is not 10% but 15-20% base on the enemy you'r facing against. There are module attack increase that has different calculations from weapon damage buff increase and testing that will be so damn tedious xD

[@cainednd]

I agree that Nexon should give Fallen Hope some love. Although newer players can farm it during their normal playthrough like Thunder Cage, I went through the trouble of maxing out the Unique on FH only to find that there is still a -20% accuracy penalty on the gun, meaning you have to waste an accuracy mod just to bring it back to even. Throw in Have Aiming and yeah, this thing brings new meaning to spray and pray. :) It's also the only unique I've seen so far that still retains a penalty of some sort after maxing out the Unique Trait.

[@cameronbonfert7987]

@@OrneryBiscuit Also, what reactor are you using when bossing? I only saw you mentioned a reactor for the very first mobbing build. What about all the other builds?

[@OrneryBiscuit]

@@cameronbonfert7987 The reactor for boss farming is just going to be a mounted weapon with damage to colossus and toxic/tech damage boost. That'll even bring the boss down even faster. Don't need CD. But if you're going to use bossing build for groups you can go with cooldown. For the gunning build it really doesn't matter. If you have a mounted enduring legacy its better for ads clearing. But skill duration is the best. Secondary roll you can have range/skill cost/ duration. it doesn't matter

[@cameronbonfert7987]

@@OrneryBiscuitThanks so much for the help, one last question. What rolls do i want to aim for for my secret garden? I’m mainly going to be using the group mobbing build. Don’t play solo very much.

[@OrneryBiscuit]

​@@cameronbonfert7987 No Problem! If you're using it for groupings and hardly use it to shoot it, I highly suggest going sharp precision, fire rates and both magazine bonus. For rolls, go with rounds per magazine that's the most important one for the bosses. The other rolls you can go anything. I like recoil because i hardly use secret garden to shoot it. It's just going to be an accessory to the 4th skill and other skills.

[@marcoscunha511]

I would exchange Focus on Toxic by Power Up. Messing with the multiplier in the Tech mods doesn't change much. For the Venom Injection bossing build, a shield build, I prefer using two invader components for the +11.9% max shield. As long as we have Venom Injection active, we will keep regenerating our shield, especially if we also have shield regen and shield recovery multiplier on the external components, but I guess that's personal preference. Instead of toxic reduction, I prefer to use Bio Sync Shield. You recharge your shield in a pinch each time you pick up a hp consumable. Again, personal preference. Love those builds!

[@OrneryBiscuit]

That sounds cool! I tested out power up in my case but I deal 2k less damage? I find this intriguing because my damage from DOTS except the room 0 trauma is higher when I have the toxic master equipped. Here I thought I finally have time to work on my sheet 😂 I think some hidden factors are in play here and I'll try to find that out. I guess we can tailor our modifiers based on those factors. The shield Idea sounds fun as well! I just wish we have more damage output module so we can go haywire with damage and farm these colossus even faster 😂

[@marcoscunha511]

@OrneryBiscuit I can't confirm because I use the two focus mods for the shorter cooldown. It seems to be enough for mobs and for the bosses at the end of the 400% dungeons, it's mainly the Enduring Legacy that I use. But it's a bit odd indeed. Now you're going to make me try it lol For the shield build, I went all in with the gun platform thing. I still use the 4th, but it's kind of meh. But I find mine a very comfortable set up. It's so rare to die that I just went along with it. I was kind of hoping to create a build in between, but I don't think I can make it viable (for the Death Stalker).

[@OrneryBiscuit]

I know I feel like the Devs will soon release a skill-focused colossus soon. That's two weapon-focused colossus in a row. I might have something in works using skills in Death Stalker though but I have to test out the numbers lol

[@williamkramer9731]

@@OrneryBiscuit that’s the plan…. She’s almost ready. Just finishing maxing out guns guns so I can be useful as a gun build…. Secret garden takes one or two more catalysts…. At sound 450k dps right now, and the Python is on her secondary, and is mostly set up due to simultaneously setting up ult gley, though, as everyone pointed out the dps is wildly inaccurate on that, as it shows around 200k but typically does double to triple pending how accurate I am on weak points. Throw in piercing with a 200% atk boost after reload, for the occasional pot shot, and I think she’ll do ok. I plan to park healthy with the externals…. Right now, her mobbing build, with no major health boosts is at around 11k so cracking 20k on the death stalker should be easy.

@@williamkramer9731 I hate how youtube doesn't notify me if someone replied via studio I am not able to see these. Right now Freyna is too good and I'm glad that the reception is positive overall. I'm sure the Devs will learn from this and rework other descendants in similat ways

[@donb185]

Just got a new sub you really did your homework 😊

I think I still lack on something. I just figured out that increase power is better in some factors but when I tried using it instead of toxic master, I lose 2k damage. So I might have to brainstorm on this one after the other builds xD

What would you change sharp precision module on enduring legacy for if going for the toxic stimulation buff build?

[@OrneryBiscuit]

Mental focus is the second best module beside SPS because you are able to retain the buff since it has a 2 second time before it disappears

Maximize conservation mod in the bossing build . If you are referring to the Venon Injection bossing build, you also need to add mana regen as much as possible in your external componentes. Same goes for shield. For the mobbing build, use MP Collector.

Ngl i wish the rolling ims wasn' a thing, it's a stupid gimmick and rolling clowns are annoying too, due to collision. I wonder what would be the actual dmg difference between face tanking, robust VI build where you can unload clip after clip from EL with SPS in-between razzing fallen fellow puggers and the TS build where you need to spend indefinite amount of time on micromanagement. Something to try when you're bored though, but in that case HV Bunny takes the cake imo.

[@OrneryBiscuit]

Hey don't worry! Apologies if I am not replying to your responses fast. There are tons of comments and sometimes responses to my replly isnt shown so I had to scroll every comment there is again and again. So for the new Death Stalker boss, he has a skill which reduces our MAX hp and that's your new 100% HP and that isn't recoverable. But you can cleanse it. So to fight against that, people build shields for their Descendants. You cant reduce an HP which is already 1 so this nullifies the damage and hp reduction debuff. But the debuff reduces your damage too so you still need to cleanse and avoid skulls.
