Best Ultimate Restored Relic Build Guide in The First Descendant

Restored Relic is an Ultimate weapon in The First Descendant and can be a powerful launcher weapon to use against single target bosses and Colossi. The Guided Rounds mean you don’t have to worry as much about precise aim. However, you’ll have to enhance it to the maximum before this triggers automatically 100% of the time. Overall, this weapon can take a lot of time, materials, and kuiper shard to fully build out, but the result is a super effective firearm boss fights.

Max Capacity Up on Weapons - the First Descendant
Source: Nexon Games

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 everyone. A balanced approach to firearm ATK, critical chance, and critical damage is the best (+3 or so to each).

Best Weapon Stats for Ultimate Restored Relic in The First Descendant

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 Ultimate Restored Relic in The First Descendant:

  • Attribute Status Effect Trigger Rate
  • Explosive ATK
  • Electric ATK (or elemental ATK of your choice)
  • Bonus Firearm ATK (vs Colossus)

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 Ultimate Restored Relic

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.

Weapon Transmission

Each time you craft an Ultimate weapon in The First Descendant, after collecting it from Anais you will find that it is a low Level 1 firearm. 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 Restored Relic in The First Descendant you will need:

  • Precision Phase Exchanger
    • 250 Liquid Metal
    • 50,000 credits/gold
    • 10:00 of research time

To get Superalloy and Liquid Metal 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 Restored Relic stats in The First Descendant you will need:

  • Fine Adjustment Control Axis x2
    • 200 Liquid Metal
    • 30,000 credits/gold
    • 1:00:00 of research time

Enhance 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 Restored Relic, you will have to craft a duplicate. Then, take that Level 1 duplicate to the Workbench and sacrifice it to upgrade the Ancient Technique ability to a stronger version.

How To Use Ultimate Restored Relic

The best way to use Restored Relic in The First Descendant is to build out the weapon to increase the trigger rate on the Ancient Fire condition. The base trigger rate for Ancient Fire is only 25%, but when it procs you’ll deal an additional 20% of Firearm damage. This is a huge DPS increase, and therefore you’ll want Ancient Fire to trigger more often than approximately once every four shots.

Additionally, you will want to use your weapon mods to add some type of element to your trait/enchantment. The elemental type can be your choice, depending on what Colossus you are currently farming. Moreover, these elemental-type mods can be swapped out if you need to switch from Fire to Chill. Leveling them all will require a lot of kuiper shards, but they can be switched out and even reused on other Impact Round weapons.

Furthermore, if the Restored Relic is going to be a main weapon for your character build, then it’s worth the extra time investment to craft multiple copies. When you use a second or third copy of Restored Relic to enhance the weapon’s ability, it will increase the chance for a guided round. Eventually, if you can enhance it to the maximum level, it fires faster and the homing projectile will become permanent.
