The First Descendant Best Lepic Build

If you are into explosions then Lepic is your go-to choice in The First Descendant. He’s one of the easiest characters to handle and very beginner-friendly, but that does not mean he’s weak. Actually, he’s one of the best characters out there, for the time being. If that is not enough, you can select Lepic as your starting Descendant, when you begin the game. He excels at AoE damage and relies on his Skills to do most of the damage. With that in mind, let’s see the best for Lepic build for The First Descendant.

Best Lepic Build

Lepic is a damage dealer, AoE damage dealer to be precise. He excels at dealing with groups of enemies but must rely on other teammates for single-target damage (or his weapons, if playing solo). For this build, you should focus on buffing his Skills as much as possible. On that note, keep reading to see the best item for Lepic in each equipment category: Weapon (and Weapon Modules), Descendant Modules, Reactor, and External Components.

Best Weapon for Lepic in The First Descendant

Just like Bunny, Lepic is best against swarms of enemies, so the best gun for him is Thunder Cage Submachine Gun. This weapon has a chance to detonate killed enemies, causing a shockwave that damages nearby enemies. Combine that with Lepic’s Traction Grenade (the one that pulls enemies in), and you will get to see some fireworks.

For more single-target damage, for Commanders and Colossuses, you should take the Afterglow Sword Sniper Rifle. Hitting weak points with this weapon will increase your Reload Speed and Weak Point Damage even further, allowing accurate Lepic players to better contribute to “boss fights”.

The last weapon for Lepic should be the Restored Relic Launcher. This heavy weapon launches explosive shots that have a chance to turn into Guided Rounds. They inflict damage over time on targets hit, doubling down on Lepic’s already DoT-focussed gameplay, making it a great weapon for bosses.

Weapon Modules

For the Weapon Modules, you should focus on those that improve weak point damage, general Firearm ATK, and Fire Rate. Some of those Modules are:

Weapon Module	Effect
Rifling Reinforcement	Improves weapon’s ATK
Weak Point Sight	Improves weapon’s weak point damage
Fire Rate Up	Improves weapon’s Fire Rate

Other Modules should focus on further improving the weapon’s ATK (like Action and Reaction), Reload time (like Reload Concentration), and Critical Hit damage (like Marksman).

Descendant Modules

As mentioned before, Lepic relies on his Skills to do most of the work. Therefore, you should focus on Modules that improve Skill Power, Skill Cooldown, and MP management.

These Descendant Modules are the best for Lepic:

Descendant Module	Effect
Technician	Increases Skill Power
Strong Mentality	Reduces MP costs of Skills
Skill Cost Optimize	Reduces MP costs of Skills
Nimble Fingers	Reduces Skill Cooldowns
Entropy Acceleration	Increases Max MP and Skill Critical Hit Damage
HP Concentration	Increases Max HP and Skill Critical Hit Rate
Increased Gain	Improves your Overkill Skill
Energy Collection	Drains MP from enemies

Reactor

Reactors improve Descendant’s Skills and Lepic relies on his Skills most of the time, so a good Reactor is mandatory. For Lepic, the must-have Reactors are the ones that have “Burning” in their name, since those directly affect Fire skills. For the second “keyword”, you need those that improve either Tech (for Grenade and Overkill) or Singular (for Overclock and Traction Grenade) Skills. So, the second keyword should be Mechanics (for Tech Skills) or Singularity (for Singular Skills). 

With all this in mind, the best Reactor for Lepic is the Burning Mechanics Reactor.
Burning Singularity Reactors are a close second, in case you want to improve your utility Skills, rather than your damage-dealing ones.

External Components

Most builds utilize External Components to get a boost in HP and other defensive stats. The Components you get are randomly generated, but thankfully, you’ll have a lot to choose from. Remember to pick those with the highest numbers/level.
For the best External Components for Lepic, you can go wrong with those that improve Max Shields, Max HP, HP Recovery, and DEF.
