Best Weapon Stats for Enduring Legacy in The First Descendant
The best weapon stats and traits you should readjust for are Firearm ATK, critical hit rate, critical hit damage, and bonus Firearm ATK against colossus. In the First Descendant, weapon stats are randomly generated for all weapons when they drop or are created via crafting. You can change (or re-roll) them through the Weapon Readjustment system, which is covered in more detail below.
Here are the best weapon stats for Enduring Legacy in The First Descendant:
- Firearm ATK
- Bonus Firearm ATK (vs. Colossus)
- Critical Hit Rate
- Critical Hit Damage
In the First Descendant, weapon stats are randomly generated for all weapons when they are picked up as loot or picked up after crafting. You can change (or re-roll) them through the Weapon Readjustment system. Each weapon has four random traits or stats that can be rerolled to find the ideal trait. These regenerated traits are also random and so is their quality. Therefore, expect to spend a lot of materials to min-max the perfect roll.
How to Upgrade Enduring Legacy
To upgrade the Enduring Legacy weapon, you can increase module capacity, level transmissions weapon to your current level, readjust the weapon traits, or enhance the weapon’s unique ability. The First Descendant provides several different avenues for upgrading and improving your weapons by using their repair station Workbench. The Workbench is located in the same general area as Anais and weapons seller Deslin on the west side of Albion. Below are the various methods for upgrading weapons in the First Descendant:
- Max Capacity UP: increase the module capacity.
- Level Transmission: upgrades level to your current level.
- Readjustment: changes weapon traits and perks.
- Enhanced Unique Ability: increase ultimate weapons unique effect to max of 5.
Maximum Module Capacity
When upgrading weapon mods, be aware there is an increased cost and a max module capacity of 80. The material needed is Energy Activators, and you will get one of these after playing through the end of the campaign, or you can craft them with Anais. Therefore, you want to balance increasing mods and not attempt to max out every one. A balanced approach to firearm ATK, critical chance, and critical damage is the best (+3 or so to each).
Weapon Transmission
Each time you pick up a dropped weapon in The First Descendant, its level will correspond to the region and zone you are playing in. However, you can easily bring it up to your current weapon level by using the Weapon Transmission mechanic at the Workbench.
Finally, you will need to reach Mastery Rank 3.
To level up Enduring Legacy in The First Descendant you will need:
- Phase Exchanger
- 50 Superalloy
- 2,500 credits/gold
- 2:30 of research time
To get Superalloy in the First Descendant you will need to dismantle many weapons you don’t want by junking them. This breaks down the weapon into crafting materials you can use to make other items. Consequently, we highly recommend breaking down all of your excess weapons instead of selling them. Credits are easier to earn just by playing the game and completing missions.
Weapon Readjustment
In The First Descendant, the Weapon Readjustment mechanic allows you to use the Workbench to re-roll your weapon stats. Moreover, you can re-roll all of your stats at once, or lock individual stats you like and only re-roll the ones you want to change.
Finally, you will need to reach Master Rank 4 in order to unlock Weapon Readjustment at the Workbench.
To change Enduring Legacy stats in The First Descendant you will need:
- Adjustment Control Axis x4
- 340 Superalloy
- 12,000 credits/gold
- 15:00 of research time
Enhanced Unique Ability
Each Ultimate weapon in The First Descendant comes with a unique ability that gives it a powerful effect and you can enhance the power of these abilities. This is another mechanic that you will use at the repair station Workbench, and it unlocks at Mastery Rank 5.
However, unlike Weapon Transmission and Weapon Readjustment there is no unique crafting material you will need to create and use. To enhance the unique ability of Enduring Legacy, you will have to craft a duplicate. Then, take that Level 1 duplicate to the Workbench and sacrifice it to upgrade the Enduring Legacy ability to a stronger version.
How To Use Enduring Legacy
The best way to use Enduring Legacy in The First Descendant is to hold down the trigger for as long as you can. Our Enduring Legacy build guide for The First Descendant equips the Mental Focus module which increases Firearm ATK the longer we hold down the trigger. As with machine guns, the large capacity allows us to deal sustained damage for a significant amount of time.
Also, our unique ability Craftsmanship will activate with our Fire Enhancement module to give us even more increased Firearm ATK. Also, our modules are massively buffing our critical hit chance and damage so characters like Enzo and Valby that buff those stats are especially potent. Since we don’t build for weak point damage, it’s better to hit your target than miss because you were aiming for a weak point.
