Best Keelan Build Guide for The First Descendant

Keelan is a constant DPS character who can melt enemies and even bosses with his highly potential skill kit. Due to the Toxic Attribute, he inflicts enemies with Acidic Decay with every active skill. Moreover, his passive ability enhances his potential for active abilities and grants him an Acidic Infusion Level after using a skill a certain number of times. Like Freyna, you can use Keelan to inflict Acidic Decay on enemies and instantly eliminate them.

One of Keelan’s active abilities is Onslaught which allows him to dash in the forward direction, dealing damage and inflicting Acidic Decay on the pierced enemy. When the skill ends, an explosion occurs, dealing damage to enemies within range. This ability alone can allow you to run through the levels swiftly while dashing through enemies.

Now, due to the latest patch 1.2.2, Keelan received some buffs making his Transcendent Modules more powerful which the fans have been asking. The Mobile Strike Transcendent Module is the best one for Keelan, especially for enhancing the potential for Onslaught ability, and this Keelan’s build specifically focuses on getting as many dashes for Keelan as possible to deal extensive damage to all enemies on his way.

Keelan’s Exclusive Equipment

Keelan’s exclusive equipment is his Arche Void Corrosion Emission, which is his ability to target enemies and fire Void Corrosion at them. Here are the details of Keelan’s exclusive equipment in The First Descendant.

“For the first time in Albion’s history, everyone involved with Arche, including the highest ranking researchers in Albion’s Engineering Institute and the Magisters led by Anais, has been mobilized to study the events that led to the transformation of the Arche Trait. Keelan’s new Arche ability is a fusion of his existing Arche with Void Energy, so he retained the ability to control wind and atmospheric pressure, but the air currents he creates now release Void Corrosion. The researchers also found that Keelan’s new Arche ability is similar to that of the Colossus Obstructer and have labeled his ability, “Void Corrosion Emission”. Fortunately, the Void Corrosion does not react with the other Descendants or their Arche factors, and this revelation allowed HQ to make the decision to assign Keelan to H.O.U.N.D. As Keelan trained with H.O.U.N.D., he learned to use his newfound powers in a way he never has before.

“New things always excite me. Whether that be new battles or new powers.” – Keelan

Skills

The premise of Keelan’s build is to use the dash ability, Onslaught as often as possible to pierce through enemies and deal extensive damage. Moreover, as Keelan inflicts targets with Acidic Decay with every ability, you can use the Tremor ability at close range to deal additional damage proportional to Acidic Decay stacks. It will allow you to eliminate all targets inflicted with Acidic Decay instantly. Overall, Keelan has a strong skill kit that you can utilize in various ways. Here are all the Skills of Keelan in The First Descendant.

• Erosion (Passive): Using any skill a number of times will enhance all your abilities and you gain Acidic Infusion Level.
• Void Corrosion: It is a range ability that allows you to target multiple enemies and deploy Void Corrosion at them that inflicts them with Acidic Decay. If an enemy is already inflicted with Acidic Decay, the impact of Void Corrosion will deal additional damage.
• Onslaught: It is a dash ability that allows you to dash in a forward direction, piercing through any enemy on the way. Piercing through enemies deals extensive damage to them and inflicts them with Acidic Decay. At the end of the range, it deals explosive damage to any target within the range.
• Septic Gust: Using this ability will allow you to inflict Acidic Decay on targets and deal damage to them. The range of this ability is low so you have to be close to the enemies. Moreover, the enemies that are in range will also get Blood Rot on them which explodes at the end of the ability.
• Tremor: This ability is highly effective in taking out targets, especially after getting maximum stacks of Acidic Decay. You can have a maximum of 20 Acidic Decay stacks at a time. However, you have to be close to the targets with the debuff to get the most out of this ability.

Best skill for Keelan – The First Descendant

The Best skill for Keelan is Onslaught due to its high potential damage and granting mobility that makes Keelan a hard target to hit. With the buffs in the recent patch (1.2.2), you can use the Mobile Strike Transcendent Module to get the Hunting Time ability in exchange for Septic Gust. Using the Hunting Time ability will grant you Adventurer’s Spirit effect which does not decrease the stack count of Onslaught for 4 seconds. Within those 4 seconds, you can infinitely use Onslaught and pierce through numerous enemies in your path. After the effect, you will still have your original Onslaught Stacks.

Erosion

• Skill Description: Using a skill increases the Acidic Infusion Level and grants the Agility effect to yourself after a certain number of uses. If the non-combat state is maintained, the Acidic Infusion Level gradually decreases, and the Agility effect is removed.

How to Use Erosion: To make use of the Erosion passive skill, use any Keelan’s abilities for a certain number of time to get the Agility effect. Your movement speed will increase giving you more mobility and you will deal more damage to the targets per stack. You can use the Void Corrosion or the Onslaught abilities to inflict Acidic Decay on targets. When on the max stack, hit any target inflicted with Acidic Decay using any ability to deal extensive damage.

Void Corrosion

• Skill Description: Targets an enemy and fires Void Corrosion. The hit enemy receives Acid Erosion. Additional damage is dealt if the target already has Acidic Erosion. The number of targets for Void Corrosion increases based on certain stats.

How to Use Void Corrosion: It is a range ability that you can use to shoot missiles at multiple targets at a time. All the targets will suffer damage due to the impact and get inflicted with Acidic Decay. You can use this ability prior to Onslaught and then dash through the enemies you inflicted to pierce through them and deal additional damage due to the pre-debuff on them. Moreover, you can enhance the number of targets at a time by increasing the range.

Onslaught

• Skill Description: Charges forward, dealing damage to penetrated targets. At the end of the charge, applies the Knockback effect and deals explosive damage. Inflicts Acidic Decay on enemies hit. While the Adventurer’s Spirit effect is active, stack count does not decrease, and there is a chance to inflict the Corrosion Acceleration effect on enemies.

How to Use Onslaught: Onslaught is the strongest ability of Keelan as it can penetrate through multiple enemies at a time. It allows you to run through the enemies, dealing extensive damage to them and inflicting them with Acidic Decay. Moreover, you can use this ability for infinite time for 4 seconds with the help of Hunting Time ability which you gain in exchange for Septic Gust by putting on the Mobile Strike Transcendent Module. Furthermore, as you repeatedly dash through the enemies, this ability also has a chance to inflict Corrosion Acceleration on enemies that deals extreme damage.

Septic Gust

• Skill Description: Deals damage to enemies within range and inflicts Acidic Decay. If enemies within range are inflicted with Acidic Decay, inflicts Blood Rot. Blood Rot explodes, dealing damage to the target and enemies within range.

How to Use Septic Gust: The best way to use septic gust is when enemies surround you and your onslaught is on cooldown. Upon using the Septic Gust, all enemies within 7m will be damaged and inflicted with Acidic Decay and Blood Rot. The Blood Rot effect will explode on enemies, which will damage enemies within range. However, we will not use septic gust for this particular build; instead, we will replace it with hunting time to get unlimited onslaught.

Tremor

• Skill Description: If enemies within range have Acidic Decay, deals damage proportional to the amount of Acidic Decay stacks. If there are no enemies within range or they don’t have Acidic Decay, increases the amount of Onslaught stacks.

How to Use Tremor: The final Keelan’s ability is Tremor which is highly dependent on the amount of Acidic Decay stacks you have to do extensive damage. Moreover, you have to be close to the enemies with Acidic Decay to deal damage to them. However, you can use it outside of the range to get more stacks on Onslaught but it is only recommended when you run out of Onslaught stacks in a tough situation.

How to play Keelan in The First Descendant

Keelan is an overall strong Descendant with a fun kit that you can maneuver around to debuff enemies with Acidic Decay and then deal additional skill damage to them using any other active ability. For this build specifically, you will have high mobility, an Onslaught available almost all the time, and high Skill damage for taking out bosses and elite enemies. However, you will still have to build around Keelan in a certain way to fight stronger bosses like Bunny.

Main Playstyle for Keelan

Now, the main playstyle of Keelan with this build is to use the Void Corrosion at the start to get some debuff stacks. After that, start using the Onslaught to pierce through the enemies. Make sure that you pierce through at least 2 to 3 enemies in one dash to get the stacks back. This way, you will be dashing a minimum of 7 to 8 times without activating the Hunting Time ability.

The dash ability is highly effective as you not only pierce through enemies like nothing, but the use of Onslaught over and over will activate the passive skill, Erosion which will give you high mobility. Moreover, you will deal additional damage to enemies with Acidic Decay whenever you attack them with any Keelan’s ability.

Utilize Onslaught Ability for maximum potential

To utilize Keelan’s Onslaught the best way, you have to put the Mobile Strike Transcendent Module. It will exchange the Septic Gust with Hunting Time which will give you the Adventurer’s Spirit effect when you use the Hunting Time ability. During the effect of Adventurer’s Spirit, you will not use Onslaught Stack for 4 seconds. This way you can dash unlimited time to pierce through enemies without worrying about Onslaught stacks. Moreover, the duration of the Adventurer’s Spirit can be increased by putting in the modules that increase the duration effect of the skills. So, overall, you will be quick with Keelan and dashing through any enemy and boss you see to put out extensive damage numbers on the screen.

Descendant Modules for Keelan Build

Mobile Strike, Focus on Toxic, Singular Amplification, and Skill Simplification are the best modules for Keelan Build in The First Descendant. Mobile Strike is a Transcendent Module exclusive for Keelan which recently received a buff. It exchanges the Septic Gust ability with Hunting Time, allowing you to get unlimited Onslaught usage for a limited time. Focus on Toxic increases the Toxic Skill Power and reduces the skill cooldown. Singular Amplification increases the Singular Skill Power Modifier which is crucial for dealing more damage. Lastly, the best module is Skill Simplification which increases the Skill Power Modifier that gives us more damage output for all abilities.

Let’s take a look at all the best modules to put on Keelan, starting with the leveling purpose.

Keelan Best Modules for Leveling

Below is a table showcasing the slots in which you need to place these modules.

2	Skill Expansion
3	Nimble Fingers
4	MP Conversion
5	Focus on Toxic

Keelan Best Modules

Here is a list of the best overall modules that you can use for Keelan that will help you survive and deal extensive damage with abilities.

• Mobile Strike: Septic Gust is adjusted to deal no damage. Grants the Adventurer’s Spirit effect to self, preventing Onslaught stack reduction during the effect duration and applying Corrosion Acceleration to pierced targets.
• Focus on Toxic: Toxic Skill Power +19%, Skill Cooldown -6.1%
• MP Conversion: Skill Cooldown -9%, Max MP -4%
• Nimble Fingers: Skill Cooldown -6%
• Stim Accelerant: Max HP +23%, Max MP -4%

If you want to have more Skill Duration, especially for Adventurer’s Spirit effect, then we advise taking out Toxic Amplification and replacing it with Maximize Duration. But keep in mind that you will deal a bit less damage as this module reduces the Skill Power Modifier.

Below is a table showcasing the slots in which you need to place these modules.

Slot	Module
1 (first row)	Mobile Strike
2	Focus on Toxic
3	MP Conversion
4	Nimble Fingers

7 (second row)	Mid-Air Maneuvering

Best Inversion Reinforcement for Keelan in The First Descendant

In addition to the modules, you next want to get the Arche Boost in the Seasonal branch of the Inversion Reinforcement. This reinforcement will grant you the Arche Boost effect whenever you hit 5 enemies with a skill. It reduces the cooldown and enhances Skill Speed and Range Modifier for more damage.

• Arche Boost (Description): On hitting 5 or more enemies with a skill, grants Arche Boost. Arche Boost: Skill Cooldown -15.5%, Skill Speed & Range Increase Modifier +11% for 7s (Cooldown 25s).

Best Reactor Stats for Keelan in The First Descendant

The toxic singularity reactor is the best reactor for the best Keelan build as it enhances the Toxins and singular skill power of Keelan. You will deal more potential damage with your Singular Skills like Onslaught and deal more Toxic damage with this reactor. Here are all the recommendations for Keelan reactor.

• Optimization Condition: Beam Rifle
• Skill Power Boost Ratio
  • Toxic Skill Power Boost Ratio
  • Singular Skill Power Boost Ratio
• Bonus Conditions: Toxic Skill Power and Singular Skill Power

Now, Skill Cooldown is another great Bonus Condition that you can look for in the reactor. However, since we have managed to get a decent skill cooldown reduction from modules and inversion reinforcement, we went for more damage.

Weapons for Keelan Build

There are not any specific weapons in which Keelan exceeds but Voltia is the best option in our opinion, especially if you are farming the Void Vessel. Moreover, The Final Masterpiece (Handgun) is another great choice for Keelan as it will increase Keelan’s overall movement speed while equipping it. Having more mobility is great for Keelan as it makes him a hard target to hit.

The following list presents the best weapon choices for Keelan Build:

• Voltia – Beam Rifle
• The Final Masterpiece – Handgun
• Afterglow Sword – Sniper Rifle

Voltia

• Firearm ATK – 19
• Fire Rate – 666
• Rounds per mag – 42
• Effective Range – 32
• Chain Current (Unique Ability) – When attacking enemies, emits a Chain Current on nearby targets at regular intervals. Attacking Anti-Void Shields emits a Chain Current on more targets. All attacks by Voltia can damage Anti-Void Shields.

Voltia is a Beam Rifle that emits a beam while attacking the enemies. This weapon is specifically designed to engage with the new types of enemies that you will encounter in the Void Vessel. One of the main reasons for this weapon being super effective against new enemies is its unique ability. The Chain Current is the unique ability of Voltia and it releases a chain current every 5 shots (Base) that deals damage to Anti-Void Shield and Arche Barriers. Moreover, while the current charge is active, all of Voltia’s attacks will deal damage to the shield.

Pulsing Shock inflicts an Electric shock on nearby targets. Endless Indulgence spawns a Puddle of Indulgence at the hit location and inflicts Poison.

The Fial Masterpiece is one of the best handguns in the game and it works greatly with Keelan. One of the biggest advantages that it can provide Keelan is the increase in movement speed. Other than that, you can use it frequently to deal high damage to enemies outside of Void Vessel.

Here are the best modules to equip for The Final Masterpiece weapon in The First Descendant.

• Expand Weapon Charge: Rounds per magazine +12%

External Component

The Slayer is the perfect External Component set that you can use for Keelan build in The First Descendant. It is because running the complete 4-piece set of Slayer will grant you 26% Skill Power which is amazing for Keelan. Now, there are other effects as well like an increase in Skill Cost, but since Keelan does not require any MP, it is a free upgrade to your skill power. Furthermore, all the pieces come with decent core stats like HP and Shield, so it is the best External Component you can ask for Keelan.

However, if you want to change things up, then we recommend the following bonuses to look for in the External Component Stats.

Keelan’s Story in the First Descendant

“The best Void Hunter in Albion with exceptional mobility.”

“What?! The Investigative Corps? Has Alpha lost his mind? He should be utilizing a strong Descendant like you, not putting you in the Investigative Corps! This is a waste!”

Jeremy reacted with disgust after hearing HQ’s decision. Keelan watched him silently and sighed. Keelan Ayodele, was one of the more prolific Descendants to be dispatched on Intercept Battles, usually volunteering for them, had a high success rate. He was an essential Descendant and a vital strategic asset in Intercept Battles, as he used his Arche abilities to manipulate wind and air pressure. He could create favorable variables in battles, such as stopping Colossi movements and altering air currents to redirect incoming attacks.

Although he was dispatched to Intercept Battles on HQ’s orders, Keelan was more driven by his own will. The adrenaline and exhilaration of fighting Colossi in the unpredictable space of the Void had become a driving force for him to fight and gave him a reason to live. However, HQ was concerned about his prolonged exposure to Void Energy, and discouraged him from participating in Intercept Battles, but Keelan was undeterred. He participated in Intercept Battles as if they were an unbreakable habit, unaware of what the feelings of exaltation were doing to his body. Eventually, a massive amount of Void Energy accumulated in his system, causing abnormalities and altering his Arche Trait. Albion HQ and the Magisters were baffled by the violation of a fundamental rule: “Arche is genetic material inscribed in your DNA and is immutable.” This meant their greatest strategic asset, the Descendants, had been compromised.

Keelan Story Continued

They were unsure what problems the transformation of the Arche ability due to Void Energy might cause. In the end, HQ decided to remove Keelan from all major missions, including Intercepts, and assigned him to the Investigative Corps until the matter could be discussed. The work of the Investigative Corps was by no means easy, but for Keelan, who felt alive during life and death Intercept Battles, his new environment bored him to death. Finally, Keelan was summoned to HQ to discuss the situation with Alpha.

“We’ve decided you’re a good fit for augmenting the Void Vessel Special Recon Unit and have changed your assignment to the Void Vessel Special Recon Unit, H.O.U.N.D. You’re an outstanding Descendant, you’ve participated in countless Intercept Battles, you’re familiar with the peculiarities of the Void… and you’re immune to Void Energy, so you check all the boxes. You’ll be a vital asset to H.O.U.N.D.”

Breaking the seriousness of Alpha’s voice, Keelan let out a chuckle of mockery.

“So, I’m a hound specialized for the Void.”

Alpha was set to retort to his cockiness, but Keelan was faster.

“Your wish is my command.”

Keelan felt unbridled joy that he could fight again. It would be in the Void Abyss, in uncharted territory, against enemies he’d never faced before, and he could feel the exhilaration of being alive in the face of that enemy. Of course he was happy. He felt like his heart was beating for the first time in a long time. On his first day in H.O.U.N.D., his training partner, Ines Raya, asked him. “Why are you so happy?” As he replied, he smiled wryly.

“I enjoy the unexpected.”
