We will rank The First Descendant Best Boss DPS Characters in this guide. In this guide I am going to focus our efforts on solely the Best Boss DPS Characters. All of the Descendant Characters can deal good boss damage, but obviously, some can maximize single-target boss damage better than others. For more info check out our The First Descendant Builds Database.
In this guide, we will list the overall Best Boss DPS Characters in The First Descendant. Additionally, we also have plenty of other guides that focus on different aspects of characters:
- The First Descendant Character Tier List
- The First Descendant Best Characters: Top 3 Overall
- The First Descendant Best Trash Fight AoE DPS Characters
- The First Descendant Best Tank Characters
- The First Descendant Best Support Characters
Of course, depending on who you ask, the rankings can vary. This is my personal list from playing The First Descendant. Generally, though, it seems to match what other players are saying.
| Rank | Character |
|---|---|
| 1 | Gley |
| 2 | Bunny |
| 3 | Sharen |
1. Gley Character
The First Descendant Gley is the character of choice if you want to maximize boss damage. She has a Frenzy skill that allows her to increase her damage tremendously. Gley also has another skill that grants her infinite ammo for a short duration. This is especially important because heavy ammo is scarce. But with her infinite ammo skill you can just go nuts on Sniper Rifles or Launchers that use heavy ammo.
Gley doesn’t have any shields or MP; she uses health to activate her skills. That can make her a bit tricky to play, and you need to know what sort of attacks your enemies can pull off to avoid them. It isn’t a good idea to soak up damage with Gley; it will rek you.

2. Bunny Character
The First Descendant Bunny character is often known for her fast-paced AoE playstyle. However, her ultimate skill, Maximum Power, is basically a crazy powerful laser beam that melts single targets. To make this work, you need to correctly build her to maximize the laser beam damage; otherwise, her DPS won’t be incredible. But if your Bunny build focuses to maximize the laser beam she will deal insane boss damage.

| Icon | Skill Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
 |
Thrill Bomb | Summons an Electro Orb to attack nearby enemies and inflict them with Electrocute effect. |
 |
Speed of Light | Increases sprint speed and the amount of Electricity obtained. |
 |
Lightning Emission | Moving around deals damage to nearby enemies and inflicts them with Electrocute effect. |
 |
Maximum Power | Shoots out electricity forward to inflict damage. Damage increases in proportion to skill duration. |
 |
Rabbit Foot (Passive) | Charges electricity by moving around. Landing on the ground after double jump inflicts damage to nearby enemies. |
3. Sharen Character
The First Descendant Sharen has excellent boss damage. However, she is tricky to play because if you miss your shot it will take a while to use the overpowered combo again because of the long cooldowns. Basically, her boss DPS strategy evolves around her invisibility skill. The first shot after getting out of the cloak will deal massive damage, but the cloak has a long cooldown, so you can’t use it right away again. Therefore, make sure not to miss the weak point! The Cloak skill paired with Sniper Rifles that have insane damage allows Sharen to deal insane boss damage.

| Icon | Skill Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
 |
Cutoff Beam | Attacks enemy with electric blade to deal damage and inflict them with Electrocute effect. |
 |
Active Camouflage | Hides from enemies. When attacking or using skills, Active Camouflage state ends immediately, regardless of time remaining. When Active Camouflage state ends, Sharen enters Ambush mode, increasing damage of the next attack. |
 |
Impact Rounds | Launches built-in explosives forward from the arm to stun enemies. |
 |
Flash Shortsword | Targets enemies within aiming range, and throws multiple knives to attack them. Knives explode to inflict enemies with damage and Electrocute effect. |
 |
Assassinator (Passive) | Damage increases when attacking enemy that is not attacking Sharen. Killing enemies with a skill in Ambush state resets cooldown for Active Camouflage. |
