The First Descendant Best Freyna Build

Freyna is the perfect character for players who like to fight using damage-over-time effects. One of the best damage dealers out there, Freyna uses poison and similar effects to deal with single targets and groups of enemies with ease. Unfortunately, she’s not among the starting characters and you’ll have to grind for a while to unlock her. But she’s more than worth the effort as Freyna is among the best damage dealers in the game. As she uses her Skills to spread Poison, you need a build that improves that and enables her to deal even more damage to anything that stands in her way. Read on to see the best build for Freyna in The First Descendant.

Best Freyna Build

Freyna is a damage dealer, who utilizes her Posion Skills to apply DoT effects on her enemies. And, just like her colleagues Lepic and Bunny, she is among the more fragile ones, relying on cover and other teammates to keep her safe. The best Freyna build focuses on improving her Poison skills as much as possible. On that note, here are the best items for Freyna, for each equipment category: Weapon (and Weapon Modules), Descendant Modules, Reactor, and External Components.

Best Weapon for Freyna in The First Descendant

The absolute best gun for Freyna is the Fallen Hope Assault Rifle. This weapon deals 10% more damage when hitting Poisoned enemies, thanks to its Perdition ability. Moreover, enemies hit by this weapon have a chance to explode, dealing damage and Poisoning nearby enemies. The more enemies are Poisoned, the more Freyna’s Poison damage increases, so this Rifle greatly improves her damage output.

Another great choice is the Python Submachine Gun. Python reduces the DEF and Toxic Resistance of enemies hit in their weak spots. Since all of Freyna’s Skills are Toxic, this gun makes every enemy hit more vulnerable to her DoT effects.

Weapon Modules

Since Fallen Hope is the gun you’ll predominantly use, it will benefit from increased ATK and Fire Rate. The more shots you can pour into targets, the better payoff you’ll get from Fallen Hope’s Perdition ability. In that regard, here are some Modules that are the best for this build:

Weapon Module	Effect
Rifling Reinforcement	Improves weapon’s ATK
Fire Rate Priority	Improves weapon’s Fire Rate
Toxic Enhancement	Adds Toxic to weapon’s shots

Some other Modules that you should keep an eye on are the ones that increase Reload Speed (like Reload Priority), further increase the ATK (like Sharpshooter), or increase the number of bullets per magazine (like Concentrate Support Ammo)

Descendant Modules

The best Descendant Modules for Freyna are those that directly improve her Toxic Skills, and her Skill Power in general. Other Modules you should take are those that reduce Skill Cooldowns and increase Skill Range and Duration.

These Descendant Modules are the best for Freyna:

Descendant Module	Effect
Contagion	Enemies affected by Room 0 Trauma leave a Poison cloud when killed
Toxic Specialist	Increases Toxic Skill Power
Toxic Master	Increases Skill Power, bonus for Toxic
Skill Extention	Increases Skill Duration
Nimble Fingers	Reduces Skill Cooldown
Range HP Calculator	Improves Skill Range and HP

Reactor

Since Reyna relies on her Skills to do most of the damage, a good Reactor is mandatory. Reactors improve specific skill types, and Reyna predominantly uses Toxic Skills. A reactor whose title starts with “Toxic” is mandatory for the best Reyna build. Next, you should look for Reactors that either improve Tech Skills (Toxic Trauma, Decomposed Poison, and Venomous Baptism) or Dimension Skills (Defensive Mechanism). Since the majority of her Skills have the Tech keyword, you should look for Reactors that have “Mechanics” in their title. 

To summarize, the best Reactors for Freyna are Toxic Mechanics Reactors.

External Components

External Components are there to provide defensive buffs to Descendants, so their other equipment choices can focus on other aspects. They offer defensive bonuses, so you should pick those Components that offer the best bonuses (highest numbers/level).

The best External Components for Freyna are those that improve Max Shields, Max HP, HP Recovery, and DEF.

Follow this guide and you’ll be able to easily deal with enemies both big and small. Freyna can hold on her own, but the game is best when played in a party, so you can help each other out.
