Shadow Build for The First Descendant

This is a Single-Target DPS setup.

Next, let us take a look at an optimized Shadow Build for The First Descendant.

Here is all the info you need to create a powerful Shadow Build:

Note: High-Level Weapon Cores boost your weapons’ damage numbers into insanity. Make sure to get weapon cores as soon as possible!


Shadow Modules

 

Modules are an important part of every weapon build in The First Descendant. For the Shadow sword, we want to focus on Multi-hit, elemental damage, and increase the explosion radius.

  • Elemental Damage: Adjust the elemental modules depending on what enemies you fight (Enemy elemental weakness).

Weapon Readjustment

 

You can use the Weapon Readjustment at the Weapon Workbench in Albion. Here are the best Weapon Readjustments for the Shadow:

  • Firearm ATK
  • Elemental Damage (Preferably whatever the enemy is weak to that you are trying to defeat)
  • Weak Point Damage
  • Firearm Critical Hit Damage

Try to upgrade the Weapon Readjustments to at least purple quality.


Weapon Cores

 

Weapon Cores significantly boost your damage. However, especially the later-level Weapon Cores are difficult to get. So start with whatever weapon cores you have available. Weapon Cores drop in the Void Erosion Purge endgame activity.

Higher level Weapon Cores drop in the higher level Void Erosion Purge levels in The First Descendant. However, you can gradually work towards the highest level. I recommend trying to get to level six as soon as possible, since it won’t require clearing many stages and will already increase the power of your weapon tremendously.
