As The First Descendant is a looter shooter, the game’s core revolves around collecting all sorts of gear to improve your build or provide materials so you can then upgrade your build’s gear. This mainly focuses on weapons and passives at its core, but new Descendants can greatly help.
One such Descendant is fairly easy to acquire once you reach an early region, and can prove quite useful. Here’s how to unlock Freyna in The First Descendant.
Where to get Freyna in The First Descendant
If you don’t want to buy Freyna with real money, you’ll need to grind for four of her components. These are found across the Vespers and Sterile Land regions as rewards from certain missions. For the first three components, you can find their location and the drop chances below:
| Component | Mission to farm | Drop chance |
|---|---|---|
| Freyna Stabilizer | Ruins Path Battlefield Mission (found in the Lumber Yard zone of the Vespers region) | 20% |
| Freyna Spiral Catalyst | Ruins Underground Entrance Battlefield Mission (found in the The Ruins zone of the Vespers Region) | 20% |
| Freyna Enhanced Cells | The Shelter Calling of the Descendant Mission (found in the Timberfall zone of the Vespers Region) | 20% |
If any of the above missions are inaccessible, you’ll need to progress the main story until they’re available. As for the fourth component, Freyna Code, you can acquire this as a possible drop from the Anomalous Material Pattern: Freyna. This can be farmed for from the Rockfall: Vulgus Strategic Outpost mission in the Rockfall zone of the Sterile Land with a 100% chance to drop. Once you have it, open the Anomalous Material through a Void Intercept Battle to have a small chance of receiving the Freyna Core.
Once you have all of the above along with 400,000 Gold, speak with Anais in Albion and being researching Freyna. After 16 hours of waiting, Freyna will be yours.
All Freyna abilities
Freyna has the following abilities at her disposal:
- Passive: Contagion Links
- Increases Toxic Skill Power by the number of nearby enemies inflicted with Poison from Freyna’s skill.
- Skill 1: Toxic Trauma
- Throws poison to attack target enemy with damage and inflict Room 0 Trauma to nearby enemies.
- Skill 2: Defense Mechanism
- Significantly increases DEF. There is a chance of inflicting Room 0 Trauma to enemies upon attack.
- Skill 3: Decomposed Poison
- Throws toxins to form a Toxic Swamp. Enemies entering the Toxic Swamp receive continuous damage and become inflicted with Poison and Venom-Soaked. Enemies inflicted with Venom-Soaked leave Toxic Footprints as they move, and enemies that touch Toxic Footprints also become inflicted with Poison.
- Skill 4: Venemous Baptism
- Changes current Firearm to Venom Baptism. Enemies hit with Venom Baptism bullets are inflicted with Room 0 Trauma.
All of this makes Freyna excellent at dealing with endless waves of enemies, but not the most adept at dealing with bosses or elite enemies. If you’re going into a wave defense mission of some kind, she could make a solid choice.
