Best Enzo Build Guide for The First Descendant
Enzo is a support character in the First Descendant, which increases the ammunition capacity of players in a group. Moreover, he can drop supply drones to fill up everyone’s ammunition, including heavy and special. Enzo is unique and a valuable asset to any team, allowing liberal use of special ammunition for maximal damage.
Unlike other support characters, Enzo has good damage and two explosive drone skills. His survivability is high due to his regenerating shield ability, though he suffers from low mobility. This guide explains how to use Enzo, gear, and modules to help you in the First Descendant.

Enzo’s Exclusive Equipment
Rather than exclusive equipment, Enzo has an exclusive Arche ability, the Inorganic Matter Spatial Awareness Summons. You can access it by clicking details in the Descendant menu and customizing the appearance of her suit. Below are the details on Bunny’s Exclusive Equipment:
“Enzo’s Arche ability enables him to summon inorganic matter places in his recognized space to the periphery of his Arche’s range. While it may seem like a near omnipotent ability at first, it has clear limitations. He cannot summon organic matter, and the inorganic matter he can summon consumes his Arche based on their mass, so weapons of a certain level cannot be summoned. However, he virtually can summon an unlimited amount of rounds for tactical squad-use, and for bombing support drones, that are stored in his exclusive armory.”
Best Skill for Enzo
Start Supply is the best skill for Enzo because it gives ammunition to anyone who touches it in combat. With a low cooldown and long duration, Enzo can frequently trigger extra ammunition for himself and other party members, maintaining high DPS with weapons. Moreover, the Transcendent Module Supply Firearm Enhancer makes this skill boost weak point damage and firearm critical hit rate up. Thus, Enzo has a powerful buff to himself and others, making a useful member ofr any party.
The Explosive Drone skill is your AOE and stacks up to two times. You have one defensive skill, Enhanced Combat Suit, that boosts your survivability. Lastly, you want to use your Perfect Support supply ship for mob clear or boss fights. It will use a drone over its duration to attack enemies, provide supply bullets, and fire off a big missile at the end.
Start Supply
Start Supply Features in The First Descendant:
- Description: Summons a Bullet Supplying Device at the designated location. Supplies bullets to allies that approach the Device. The Bullet Supplying Device can be used once by each ally, and disappears when everyone has used it or its duration ends.
- Descendant Attribute: Singular
- Cooldown: 35 seconds
- MP Cost: 35 Seconds
- Duration: 12 Seconds
- Field Supplies: 8%
- Intercept Battle Supplies: 12%
How to Use Start Supply: this is your main utility skill that you want to use constantly in order to keep ammunition high. As Enzo, you should be using heavy or hard to find ammo and weapons due to this skill. While it does have a long cooldown, the duration is 12 seconds and its not mobile Therefore, place it at a time where you are settling in for a boss fight and mobility isn’t required.
Explosive Drone
Explosive Drone Features in The First Descendant:
- Description:
- Descendant Attribute: Dimension
- Maximum Stacks: 2
- Stack Cooldown: 22 seconds
- MP Cost: 20
- Burst Damage Skill Power x 803.7%
- Explosive Damage Range: 3 meters
- Max Expanded Range: 300%
- Projectile Speed Increase: 0%
How to Use Explosive Drone: you want to use this for AOE damage. The AOE is smaller, so it’s a more single target-focused attack. Moreover, it’s Dimension damage, so if you find it useful to use this to add clarity, select a Dimension reactor for maximum damage.
Enhance Combat Suit
Enhance Combat Suit Features in The First Descendant:
- Description: Summons a Shield Recovery Comms. When the Shield Recovery Comms is first summoned, recovers Enzo’s Energy Shield by a certain amount, then continues to recover the Energy Shield through Enhance Combat Suit effect.
- Descendant Attribute: Dimension
- Cooldown: 30 seconds
- MP Cost: 40
- Duration: 6 seconds
- Initial Shield Recovery: 20%
- Continuous Shield Recovery: 4%
How to Use Enhance Combat Suit: this is your way to survive. You want to use this when taking pressure and your shields drop. Be aware, it has a big MP cost, so leave a lot of MP in reserve if you expect to take a heavy load of damage.
Perfect Support
Perfect Support Features in The First Descendant:
- Description: Summons a Small Supply Ship to himself and his allies. The Small Supply Ship periodically provides Supply Bullets and grants Perfect Support to allies. The Small Supply Ship attacks enemies in front while it is active, and when the skill ends, it fires a missile forward that causes a big explosion at its destination.
- Descendant Attribute: Singular
- Cooldown: 90 seconds
- MP Cost: 60
- Duration: 7.5 Seconds
How to Use Perfect Support: this is your ultimate skill with a huge cooldown You want to save it for boss fights or add clear. The duration is long, so the drone on your shoulder will do tons of damage for you. Moreover, the MP cost is very high, so try to get the resource bricks as you travel around to fill up before a boss burn.
Shoot Support (Passive)
Shoot Support Features in The First Descendant:
- Description: Grants Fire Support to allies within an area around Enzo, increasing their max ammo capacity. This efficiency of this effect increases marginally with the number of Enzos in the squad. Efficiency increases when Enzo disarms the security of the Encrypted Vault, and rewards increase when this happens.
How to Use Shoot Support: this passive aids in four player content specifically when players are coordinating together. Expect higher ammo and using the drone stock up on heavy and special rounds.
How to play Enzo in The First Descendant
The best way to play Enzo is by using his ammunition to increase skill Start Supply. This skill feeds you with heavy ammunition, allowing you to consistently fire off Sniper and Grenade Launcher damage. While it has a long cooldown and is not mobile, drop the supply drone in a stationary fight with choke points. Allies can also gain increased ammo, and it’s super helpful for everyone’s DPS.
Enzo’s passive rewards multiplayer with players near him. In instanced-based content, your max ammo will be higher due to this passive. Again, take advantage of the extra ammo and supply drones by constantly using heavy weapons for maximum damage.
For damage, you have an Explosive Drone and Perfect Support. Explosive Drone stacks up to two times and is a smaller 3-meter AOE. However, you can use it back to back to gain a big chunk of burst damage. Perfect Support summons a drone and helps you for about 6 seconds, then fires off a massive missile. You can use both abilities simultaneously for huge damage in a short duration.
When it comes to surviving, use Enzo’s Enhance Combat Suit to quickly recover shields. The MP cost is high with skill, but you’ll dramatically recover shields but won’t be able to heal other allies.
Descendant Modules for Enzo Build
Supply Firearm Enhancer, Maximize Duration, and Multitalented are the best modules (mods) for Enzo because they extend his Start Supply and change its usage. The Transcendent Mod changes how Start Supply works, giving you a bonus to weak point damage and a critical hit rate for anyone who touches the Supply drop. Therefore, you build around lowering the cooldown of Start Supply and extending its duration so you and your teammates can gain a buff nearly 100% of the time.
In The First Descendant, modules are essential components that enhance and customize your character’s abilities, stats, and overall performance. Modules can be acquired through questing, missions, loot drops, and vendor items. Moreover, you have limited resources to slot mods; therefore, some slots may be empty depending on your chosen setup.

Best Reactor Stats for Enzo in The First Descendant
The best reactor for Enzo is Materialized Singularity because it boosts Non-Attribute skills, specifically Start Supply and Perfect Support. The second option is the Materialized Phase, which boosts non-attribute and Dimension. This will increase the power of Explosive Drones. The priority is to buff Non-Attribute skill first, then either Singular or Dimension based on support or damage. Lastly, make sure to equip the right weapon to activate the bonuses.
In The First Descendant, reactors are powerful enhancements significantly impacting a character’s abilities, stats, and overall performance. Each reactor comes with an “optimal condition,” which requires a specific weapon type to be equipped to activate. Therefore, this should be your primary weapon for the build. They function as core components that provide substantial boosts and unique effects, enabling players to tailor their characters to specific playstyles and strategies.
Weapons for Enzo Build
Enduring Legacy is the best weapon for an Enzo build because the machine gun does incredible damage and debuffs targets, triggering more status effects. Thus, this weapon increases your damage and everyone attacks the boss. Three alternatives are Tamer for bosses, Python for a debuff weapon, or Thunder Cage for mob clear. Your secondary weapon should be Greg’s Reverse Fate for medium range burst damage with bombardment. For range damage, use the Afterglow Sword Sniper Rifle for weak point damage.
The following list presents the best weapon choices for Enzo Build:
- Enduring Legacy – Machine Gun
- Greg’s Reversed Fate – Tactical Rifle
- Afterglow Sword – Sniper Rifle
Enduring Legacy
Enduring Legacy features in the First Descendant:
- Firearm ATK: 28
- Fire Rate: 571
- Reload Speed: 2.7 seconds
- Effective Range: 35 meters
The strength of the Enduring Legacy is triggering an extra status effect with the Craftsmanship Perk. Additionally, Enduring Legacy will do more damage than the Tamer, which is a good alternative—another alternative if the Python submachine gun or Thunder Cage.
Greg’s Reversed Fate
Greg’s Reversed Fate features in the First Descendant:
- Firearm ATK: 33
- Fire Rate: 342
- Reload Speed: 1.4 seconds
- Effective Range: 55 meters
The tactical rifle Greg’s Reserved Fate is best for burst AOE damage with Bombardment at medium range. The AOE damage explodes and causes burn damage. Below are the recommended mods for Greg’s Reversed Fate:

- Better Insight: Firearm Critical Hit Rate +10%

- Effective Range: 55 meters

The Afterglow Sword Sniper Rifle is the best choice for ranged precision weak point damage. Once you trigger Death Propagation, you gain increased reload and damage on weak points. Use this weapon for ranged headshots if possible. Below are the recommended mods for the Afterglow Sword Sniper Rifle:

External Component
The Tome Vanguard and the Annihilation set are the best external components for Enzo. The two-piece Tomb Vanguard gives 25% DEF, making you incredibly durable, while Annihilation increases Skill Duration. Alternatively, you can run four-piece Annihilation or Bravery sets. Regarding stats, prioritize Max HP, DEF, and elemental resistance like Toxic, Chill, Fire, or Electric Resistance.

First Bonus:
- HP
- DEF
- Shields
Second Bonus

Recent Updates and Changes for Enzo Build
The biggest change and update to Enzo during Season One is the addition of Invasions and Inversion Reinforcement. Enzo can hold his own in the new Invasion content, but lacks the speed to be a great choice. Players are rewarded for completion time and materials used for the newest Descendant Hailey. Inversions should be done often to work toward unlocking new gear and the newest Descendent.
Enzo Story in the First Descendant
If asked to pick the most important factors for winning a war, the general response would be powerful weapons, a strong fighting force, and cutting-edge technology. However, Enzo would beg to differ.
Powerful weapons must be transported to the front lines on time, and a strong fighting force must be well-fed and capable of shooting accurately. Also, cutting-edge technology demands sufficient resources to sustain mass production. As such, for Enzo, the most important factor in winning a war is a seamless and systematic supply flow. If only such things had been achievable at that time… Enzo continues to blame himself for what had happened to his cousin, Lepic, as well as the annihilation of the 44th Grenadier Squad.
In the past, during the Agna Desert Defense Operation, Enzo, who had been quartermaster at the time, drove towards the front lines in a tactical armored vehicle to deliver the much needed ammunition to the besieged 44th Grenadier Squad
Not only did he intend to rescue his sole surviving blood relative, Lepic, but it was a race against the clock, as the timely supply of ammunition could turn the tide of battle.
But perhaps he was too hasty. The Supply Squad, which was enroute without a proper escort, was ambushed by the Vulgus, and all of the ammunition they were carrying was lost in the ensuing explosion. Now, it was he, not the 44th Grenadier Squad, who was in danger of losing his life. Despite finding himself facing death, he instead despaired at the fact that he had lost the ammunition which he needed to deliver to his teammates. That feeling of hopelessness… Losing both his comrades and his cousin this way…
Enzo’s Story Continued
At that moment, supplies started to appear from the ground on where he had been crying out in despair. It was later revealed that this phenomenon had been caused by Enzo’s Arche ability, Inorganic Matter Spatial Awareness Summoning, and this ammunition had been summoned from a faraway Albion ammunition depot. However, Enzo, who was unaware of this fact, believed that a miracle had happened and defeated the enemies by himself, eventually succeeding in transporting the supplies to the 44th Grenadier Squad’s location.
But there would be no second miracle. By the time he arrived, the Grenadier Squad had been wiped out, and Lepic, who was lucky enough to survive, had lost his right arm. Although Lepic would overcome adversity and become an outstanding Descendant, Enzo blamed himself, believing that if there had been no issues with the supply flow, a loss of this scale could have been prevented in the first place.
Never again would he allow himself to fail. Through perfect supply operations, he would save his comrades and win the war. Even now, as a Descendant under the direct command of Albion HQ, and as an executive officer, he is always revisiting the events of that day, repeating his promise. And whenever there is place that requires assistance, he will go in person to the front, providing as many supplies as the soldiers needed. His aim? To make something as essential for victory as supplies be considered a given and not a miracle.
