Here is a quick list of the pros and cons of the Enzo Build for The First Descendant.

How to Play Enzo in the First Descendant

The First Descendant Enzo is first and foremost a support character. He specializes in providing scarce ammo to group members and thus increasing the overall damage output of the group. He also has drones at his disposal to launch long-range attacks. It is best to focus on increasing Enzo’s Firearm ATK stats since most of his abilities are here to support the group and they won’t do massive damage. Therefore it is important to have good weapons that fit his setup.

The Supply Crate skill refills special and heavy ammo, which is often hard to come by. This is very useful for the whole group. His Shield Recovery drone also helps with survivability and makes him tankier than most other non-tank characters.

His Ultimate Drone attack doesn’t only do damage, but also provides another source for refilling heavy ammo. When you activate it, you recover your ammo completely.

Enzo Skills Explained

In this section, we are going to explain the skills available to our Enzo Build in the First Descendant, how each skill works and the best ways for you to use them.

Start Supply

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.

Start Supply Skill Description:

Non-Attribute – Singular
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.

How to use Start Supply:

The Start Supply skill is easy to use within coordinated groups; simply place it where it is accessible to most group members. However, it gets a bit trickier in random groups since most players don’t really pay attention to what is happening around them.

This is an amazing skill because it refills any type of ammo, even heavy ammo, which is scarce in The First Descendant.

 

Explosive Drone

Launches an Explosive Drone forward. The Explosive Drone explodes on contact with an enemy or a terrain object, dealing damage.

Explosive Drone Skill Description:

Non-Attribute – Dimension

The Explosive Drone explodes on contact with an enemy or a terrain object, dealing Burst damage.

How to use Explosive Drone:

Explosive Drone is a good area of effect damage skill with a decent cooldown. Use it to blow up groups of enemies.

Enhance Combat Suit

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.

Enhance Combat Suit Skill Description:

Non-Attribute – Dimension
Summons Shield Recovery Comms.
When the Shield Recovery Comms is first summoned, it recovers the Shield and Grants Enhance Combat Suit.

How to use Enhance Combat Suit:

Enhance Combat Suit is a strong defensive skill. This is also the reason why Enzo has some of the better DEF than most other non-tank characters. Basically you can recover your Shield at a press of a button with this and it also keeps recovering for a short duration.

Perfect Support

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.

Perfect Support Skill Description:

Non-Attribute – Singular
Summons a Small Supply Ship to himself and his allies. The Small Supply Ship provides Supply Bullets and grants Perfect Support to allies. The Small Supply Ship attacks enemies in front, and when the skill ends, it fires a missile forward that causes a big explosion.

How to use Perfect Support:

Perfect Support is an amazing ultimate skill, it restores all of the ammo, even heavy ammo and keeps supplying you with ammo over time as long as the skill is active. Additionally it also deals decent damage. But the real banger here is the resupply of heavy ammo. This means you can spam heavy ammo weapons as long as this is active.

 

Fire Support (Passive)

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.

Fire Support Skill Description:

Non-Attribute
Grants Fire Support to allies within an area around self.
Fire Support effect enhances when same Descendant is present within the Party or Squad. Efficiency increases when Enzo disarms the security of the Encrypted Vault, and rewards increase when this happens.

How to use Fire Support:

This passive is always active, you don’t have to worry about it. It increases the ammo capacity.

Descendant Modules for our Enzo Build in The First Descendant

In this section, we will explain the recommended Descendant Modules for this Enzo Build in the First Descendant.

Important! When equipping Modules on Enzo, make sure that as many modules as possible are in a slot with a matching icon (top left corner on tooltip). This will half their Module Capacity Cost.

Your Module Capacity Cost limits how many modules you can equip, and can be upgraded as you level up your character. Different modules have a different Capacity Cost, which generally depends on how powerful the Module is. This is a balancing system to prevent players from only equipping the strongest modules and having a totally overpowered character.

Learn here How To Farm Modules in The First Descendant for your Enzo Build. And learn here How to increase Module Capacity in The First Descendant for your Builds.

Enzo Max Level Modules Setup

We recommend using the following modules:

Strong Mentality – Reduces your Skill Resource Cost
Increased HP – Max HP increase
Skill Cost Optimize – Reduces Skill Cost
Shock Punch – Increases Max Module Capacity
Skill Expansion – Increases your Skill Effect Range for valid Skills.
Nimble Fingers – Reduces your Skill Cooldown
Conservation Maximization – Massively Reduces Skill Cost and reduces Skill Power Modifier
Increased DEF – Increases DEF stats

How to get modules: Go to your map and then select Access Info on the top of your screen. Select Modules and type in what module you want to search for. Next, click on Acquisition Info and you will see where those have a chance to drop.

Why is the Skill Module empty? This slot modifies our skills. However, all the modified variants are worse for our The First Descendant Bunny Build than the original, so we leave this slot empty.

Best Weapons & Weapon Mods for our TFD Enzo Build

In this section, we will explain the best weapons for our TFD Enzo Build and the ideal weapon mods for them.

We recommend using the following weapon for Enzo in the First Descendant:

Thunder Cage – Submachine Gun

The Thunder Cage Submachine Gun is an Ultimate weapon. The firearm emits an electric shockwave that creates the appearance of thunder being directed at the enemy.

Thunder Cage Description:

When defeating an enemy, the defeated enemy has a set chance to discharge Electric Shockwave that deals Additional Damage to nearby enemies.

Basic Info

Reload Speed:  -20%

Electric Shockwave

Trigger Rate : 60%
Damage Range:  3 meter radius
Additional Damage:  Firearm Damage x 150%

This is a high DPS weapon with a quick fire-rate. It suits Enzo’s Build very well in The First Descendant.

We are using the following weapons mods for the Thunder Cage Weapon:

Rifling Reinforcements – Improves your Firearm ATK
Fire Rate UP – Improves your Fire Rate
Consume Magazines – Faster Reload and a tiny bit of extra Weak Point Damage
Action and Reaction – Significantly improves Firearm Attack and Recoil
Better Insight – Increases Firearm Critical Hit Rate
Better Concentration – Significantly increases Firearm Critical Hit Damage
Weak Point Insight – Increases Weak Point Damage and a bit of extra Firearm Critical Hit Rate

Prioritize first: Rifiling Reinforcements, Better Insight, Better Concentration, Action and Reaction.

Prioritize afterward: Fire Rate Up, Consume Magazines, Weak Point Insight

To max out all the mods listed here your Weapon module capacity must be maxed. If you don’t have enough slots yet, make sure to follow the prioritization queue.

Best Reactor Stats for Enzo in The First Descendant

Your Reactor is a very important item that determines your skill damage and can also include extra modifiers that buff certain aspects of your build. The better your Reactor is, the more damage your skills will deal to enemies.

We recommend prioritizing using a Reactor with a high Skill Power and Sub Attack Power. Secondly, look out for a Reactor that buffs Dimension and/or Non-Attribute skills, as most of Enzo’s skills fall into these categories. After that, look out for Reactors with a boost to your Skill Critical Hit Damage, which will improve the amount of damage dealt when you land a critical hit.

Another thing to look out for is an Optimization Condition that you can easily fulfill with your Enzo build. For example, certain reactors require an equipped Submachine Gun to meet the Optimization Condition. Meeting the condition increases the Skill Power of your reactor, so it’s important to meet this whenever possible.

The name of a reactor can be determined by the following. For example a reactor with the name Tingling in it means it is good for anything that deals Electric damage.

The First Descendant Enzo’s attribute is Non-Attribute and his skills use the following types:

Singular (Start Supply, Perfect Support)
Dimension (Explosive Drone, Enhance Combat Suit)

That means you want to pick a reactor with the following names:

Materialized Singularity: Boost to Non-Attribute and Singular type
Materialized Phase: Boost to Non-Attribute and Dimension type

Our The First Descendant Enzo Build focuses on Explosive Drone and Enhance Combat Suit. Therefore, we want to select a Materialized Phase reactor. However, any will do until you have a proper version of a reactor!

External Components

Finally, we have the best External Components for the Enzo build in the First Descendant.

With your External Components, you will be somewhat subject to RNG, at least until you’ve played the game for long enough to find basically every possible combination with good stat rolls.

In general, we recommend prioritizing components with the following stats:

Max Shield
Max HP
HP Recovery
DEF

Enzo’s 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, The First Descendant 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…

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.

However, 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.
