Viessa Highest Damage Build, Solo Clear Bosses ! | The First Descendant

As someone who never played Warframe or Destiny and has no direct comparison I love the game so far. Unfortunately most videos I see are clickbait tierlists and Build videos without any research done..., so here is how strong actually Viessa is. All Content is clear able solo so far without spending a dime. Enjoy!
Notes to ultimate Viessa, she can use Absolute Zero module, so that will pair well with the Frostbite set for crazy damage but I don't have her to test.

I love how you explain game mechanics rather than giving a target. I like playing around with Viessa too, but as I'm still in the story and don't want to rush it the build changes a lot and frequently. So I don't have a real baseline of what working or not for now.

[@johnniewalker1495]

Perfect timing man

[@mscatjay]

Thank you!!!!! All the other videos I've watched on Viessa, you can tell the OP obviously doesn't even play TFD because the screenshot of the modules list are either modules that don't exist in the current live patch, the modules don't apply synergistically with the descendant in question and there's no overall attention to detail. God bless you T-T

[@itz_priivate]

Love this build, please make more videos like this 👌

[@RRGUNZ]

NGL. I was probably gonna drop this game but this alone makes me want to play. I see a light at the end of the tunnel! I just want a way to get MP back efficiently in battle...thats the only things thats killing it for me.

[@Katastra_]

there is MP regen in combat that you can roll on one of the external components, and there's a mod that gives you MP when you get a kill, though I think the one that gives HP on kill is probably better

[@punchykarma6685]

Once you get to hard mode your characters become much better and you'll be able to be make builds that are more MP efficient. My bunny has nearly infinite MP like it doesn't drain

[@Jet-ij9zc]

I lucked out and got cold-bloodness and it basically makes energy a non issue. Skills becomes what seems like 0 cost as long as you cast them while frost road is active (and frost road last so long that I assume you can have 100% up time with some mods)

[@ii_Duzzy]

Also a MP Collector module that grants you MP every time you kill an enemy, its a god send, especially for Bunny which gives you unlim sprint

[@summer7603]

That's what the mob drops are for and there's skill cost reduction modules that are enough. Whenever your out of mp and things are still moving means you gotta work on dmge. if your lucky you can roll MP regen on 2nd substat for externals cuz resistance should come first.

[@AnimByBmXu]

Bruh, i'm so proud cause i came to a similar build by myself lol. I hope it's just a coincidence and not a sign of lack of build variety on each of these characters. But i suppose for variety you're supposed to change character i guess. We'll see, i'm not at end game yet. Anyways, you got yourself a new sub, good job.

Man I have been looking for a good Viessa build so far this one seems to be the most promising. But I'm going to have to grind for some of those rare modules though.

[@orbital1023]

Nice vid bro. How did you get Emergency Measures?

[@finnigandc2979]

Love the build, only suggestion I would make if you have the extra point is battle of stamina instead of MP accelerant, I find the 12% HP to be more valuable, but it'll depend on your individual stat lines.

[@SF_Savitar]

Im actualy running the same thing hes running with max mp accelerant the nado stays so long also slotted inc defence to get more tanky and im working on the cold bloodness tomorrow for the bossing setup

[@CantFindNemo]

Waiting for viessa build update! For all the videos I checked for viessa and it's not that a lot, yours is the best/top for me, you know what you are talking about and I liked that build for my specific playstyle (it got defense and damage at the same time, not a glass cannon, if you get hit, your character will be down and this game have aimbot enemies like farseer idk if that is the correct name, a circle shaped enemy with tentacles that shoots beam and it has aimbot), i'm gonna wait for your final viessa build and probably if you can, test the cold blood and hypothermia mods for viessa

[@cornflakes1889]

4:40. I love you for that. Thanks haha :D

[@laventine7]

Will you be creating Viessa with Hypothermy Module in the future? Im interested to use it. Thank you for the content btw!!

[@DragonCaller1]

that point .1 is actually the explosion that accrues at the end of the duration So instead of creating 4 hits he is affectively creating 5, The initial hit when set the 3 ticks over time and then the explosion at the end. But if you created it to be 6secs flat you would only get the explosion at the end of the duration instead of another tick before the explosion. You are 100% correct they look at the inflated dps number and get excited for nothing it's shameful thank god someone else calls this BS out.

[@user-ug4vb3dh5g]

I've known from the start that Viessa will be busted, from the start of the game you pick one of the character between Ajax, Lepic, Viessa. I saw Volt potential in Viessa that could broke the game with just tons of numbers XD I just want to wait for my Ultimate Viessa before I start building my Descendant

[@voidlight6006]

Tamer is only strong if you have a build focusing weak point damage mods on it

[@Claufield]

@@LordAsturgisit has the highest dps then mostly anything rn besides from heavy weapons and is really good because it uses general rounds and has a high fire rate

unexpected crossover

[@deathwish6352]

For cold blooded : (since i have it meanwhile getting info on what TR modules actually does is hard rn) Changes your 'c' ability to 'cold blooded' which is a buff type ability (No more speed buff or ice trail) The cold blooded ability gives -20% skill costs 20% cooldown reduction 5% skill damage 25s cooldown 20s duration Idk if it's worth dropping nimble fingers for a dmg mod instead with this TR mod

[@Awiatar]

Yeah Cold Blooded gives like 20k-40k skill DMG increase. The best choices are Cold Snap Watch or Hypothermy but I can't confirm if they are game changers for her. I will try my best to try those with my limited time to play.

[@PEWIZZ_]

cool vids, make build video for freyna next?

[@darKanthony]

you can 1000% target farm frozen reactors singular w/ general ammo. You will get a thunder cage eventually; just keep at it :)

[@hadoken95]

I always put baseline chill element on my weapon for the chance at a freeze proc - do you know if that stacks with Viessa's skills or is that pointless because of how the elemental effect works? Regardless, on other characters it's something to consider - frozen monsters don't hurt you.

[@PejorativeDaedal]

Compared to Gley infinite launcher build, Lepic overcharge firearm build, Lepic 11m arm cannon build, yeah its B or A tier at best. All mentioned also costs less investment to get started

[@christophercooke9307]

I picked Viessa as my starter but didn’t know what I was doing originally. I leveled her up to 40 after Bunny and realized how powerful she really is

For Colosus MP is forsure an issue and would increase your DPS having more, you can actually just keep using Crytal catalyzators and add more modules yeah

[@dengsmoticon]

sorry if im out of the viessa topic, but about the weapon choice, i just agree the smg ( like thunder cage ) is kinda OP even im using freyna ( which is her main weapon is fallen hope ), i have them in good adjustment and module, but the thunder cage dps is more higher than fallen hope... if there any opinion about my statement, feel free to correct me if im doing it wrong :D

What about the mod that makes projectiles into blizzards is that good?

[@MadMorgtigan]

Are the defense and Shield mods useless? I have HP almost maxed, but I was also investing in the other two. Edit: 9:40 oh, ok... I wondered. I had heard shields is not worth so I took it off my build already, but DEF was news to me.

Why the thunder cage though? Just wondering if its to keep mobility up since the reactor doesnt need the mounting. I play bunny and don't even use thunder cage because tamer does more damage with the same ammo.

@@xxboxofmuffinsxx4252 yes mobility, especially outside of collosus you can hust hipfire and clear through mobs really quick.

B tier is correct. Even against your best boss element-wise. A lot of other characters kill him a lot faster. Bunny kills Pyromaniac faster too even though he's strong vs electric. Gley, Lepic, Freyna, Bunny, and Enzo all kill this boss quicker...and this is your best boss. B tier is very fair for Viessa.

all the characters at the end game will reach the point of being borken. It is not about how much money u spent in the game. It is about the time it will take to get there. Even if you buy the ultimate version, you still need to farm like everyone else to get the modules and weapons. Ofc it is annoying that some items are also purchasable now that is BS.

[@nobosx0]

Am i missing something here? Where do u see 5m burst? Thats like 600k burst at the start and even if i add up all the ticks it was like 2m dmg over the whole duration. I mean its still decent dmg but nowhere near 5m burst.

[@IDeVaste]

Depends on the enemies if you crit everything on colossus its 5x 650k. and then you have Q, V , the ice spheres and bullets shooting on a knockdown. It rounds about 5 mil when lucky. Outside of Colussus i hit 1.5- 1.7mil per tic so the torndao alone can do to normal bosses 6 Million if lucky.Bosse

defense has diminishing returns in this game the higher you go. for example from 30k to 60K you will get 10% damage reduction extra. and then from 60k to 120k you will get another 10% reduction so you are already at the sweetspot. you should invest in having 10k HP and leaving defense as it is
