Ines Dungeon Build (250-400% Dungeons, Void Erosion Purge, Void Vessel etc.)

• Dungeon Build Type: 400% Dungeons, Void Erosion Purge, Void Vessel, Disrupt Invasions, anything with hard difficulty.
• Dungeon Build Focus: High survivability, great range, damage and sustain.

The purpose of this Ines Dungeon Build for The First Descendant is to clear hard content like 400% dungeons, Void Erosion Purge, Void Vessel or Invasions on hard. It is almost identical to the Ines Mobbing Build, except having a bit more damage but slightly reduced range. If you want even more survivability, you can always remove more damage modules and add more HP or DEF mods. But generally, if you want more survivability, it is better to get more of it through Components for Ines.

Ines Bossing Build for The First Descendant

• Bossing Build Type: Colossus fights on hard difficulty.
• Bossing Build Focus: High survivability, low cooldown on our 4th skill to maximize single-target damage.

This is the standard Ines Bossing Build that you can use against Colossus on hard difficulty. It has a high survivability rate so you won’t easily go down when you take damage from the Colossus. Ines isn’t the best Bossing character because all her skills focus on AoE damage. However, her DoTs can actually bounce back and forth quite a bit and deal massive damage. Skill Range expansion mods actually increase the amount of times the DoTs can bounce between you and the boss.

Ines Bossing Build Modules Explanation:

• Time of the Hunting Hounds: Changes all skills to Tech and allows her to jump forward and deal massive AoE damage.
• MP Conversion: – Skill Cooldown, – Max MP

You can replace HP Amplification with the Front Lines Module if you want to go max damage. But your HP will drop dangerously low.

Note: Ultimate Ines has not been released yet. Once Ultimate Ines is available, I will update this section of the guide.

Arche Tuning for Ines

The Arche Tuning System in The First Descendant is important for every Character; it buffs your stats by a good amount. For The First Descendant Ines, we are focusing on the right and upper right section. We won’t be picking the yellow icon on the right side but rather spend more points to get more crit-related perks!

You level up Arche Tuning in the Sigma Sector Dropoff Operation. Mutant Cells also drop there with a small chance.

We use the Electric Cohesion Mutant Cell. This allows us to boost our Electric Skill Power even further.

• Mutant Cell: Electric Cohesion

Ines Equipment Overview in The First Descendant

Equipment is the cornerstone of any successful The First Descendant Build. For Ines, having the right setup can mean the difference between dominating a dungeon and falling short. This section breaks down the essential equipment types—Weapons, Reactors, External Components, and Transcendent Modules—and explains how they maximize her power.

Ines Equipment Guide

Equipment Type	Importance	Key Benefits
Weapons	Critical for maximizing damage. A wide variety of weapon types enables different playstyles.	Increases overall DPS. Amplifies the effectiveness of skills. Proper weapon selection can double or triple damage.
Reactors	Essential for boosting skill damage. Incorrect reactors severely reduce effectiveness.	Enhances skill potency of Ines. Ensures Ines’s abilities perform at peak levels.
External Components	Arguably the most impactful equipment. Dramatically improves survivability and utility.	Quadruples stats like HP or DEF for Ines. Adds utility like MP recovery. Enables effective performance in high-difficulty content. Core System Enhancements.
Inversion Reinforcements	Adds further buffs to your build.	Perks that can make a difference in build power.
Transcendent Modules	Unlocks advanced playstyles for Ines. Essential for specialized Ines builds.	Significantly boosts skill efficiency and power for Ines.

Best Weapon for the Ines Build in The First Descendant

Here you will find the Top 3 Weapons for Ines in The First Descendant that I love to run among some alternative weapons that you can also test out if you want.

Don’t forget to have the needed Reactor Optimization Condition with the correct weapon types, otherwise, your skills will deal much less damage!

Top 3 Weapons for Ines

Weapon	Category	Key Features	Why It’s Great for Ines
Secret Garden	Tactical Rifle	Tech Skills activate Pest Control Effect (+Firearm ATK, + Skill ATK) of Secret Garden. Boosts the damage of your AoE skills tremendously!	It synegizes perfectly with Ines’s electric AoE skills that are Tech. Used to boost AOE damage skills.
Albion Cavalry Gun	Machine Gun	Insane ST damage. Stuns enemies.	Insane ST damage and stuns nearby enemies. Fast Fire Rate. Overall High DPS Weapon. Can be used for both AoE and Single-Target.
Malevolent	Hand Cannon	Max AoE Damage	One of the most powerful AoE weapons.

Other Useful Weapons

Other Useful Weapon Options for Ines

Weapon	Category	Key Features	Why It’s Great for Ines
Voltia	Beam Rifle	Instantly destroys Anti-Void Shields and Arch Barriers. Electrocutes nearby enemies.	Best weapon to instantly destroy Anti-Void Shields and Arche Barriers, nothing even comes close to it. A must-have in your group if you are doing Void Vessel Operation runs!
Thunder Cage	Submachine Gun	Everyone has this weapon from the main story (easily accessible) “Newbies Best Friend” Electric Shockwaves	While this isn’t the best weapon out there, it is easily accessible. Deals good AoE damage.

Best Reactor for Ines in The First Descendant

Selecting the best reactor for Ines in The First Descendant can significantly enhance her abilities, allowing you to maximize her effectiveness in various scenarios. Not only does the reactor determine your skill damage, but it also gives additional secondary benefits through modifiers. These are often hard to get and take time to grind out!

All of Ines’s skills are Electric. Her first and third skill are Singular based and her second and fourth are Tech based. If you use the Time of the Hunting Hounds transcendent mod all her skills change to Tech type. Additionally, you want to get the correct mounting (Optimization Condition) to benefit from the 160% boost.

It is hard to get a Reactor with two best in-slot specs. However, you should be able to get a Reactor with at least one good spec. I will highlight the more important spec in bold in the table below.

How to find the Location of Reactors

Reactor drop locations change every day. Not many players know this and get confused. Now, there is a reactor search function in-game. Go to the map and press on Difficulty Level Rewards. In here, you can see where all the reactors currently drop.

Note: It is possible that not all reactor types are currently dropping. You have to come back and recheck every day.

If your specified reactor drops in an area, you go there and farm any missions and monsters (Preferably missions with lots of monster spawns). There will be plenty of reactors dropping from monsters all over the place, any monster works. It will take a while to get a good reactor!

Best External Components for the Ines Build

Ines has a few good External Component sets to choose from. I love to use the 4x Bravery set that allows us to have a way shorter cooldown on our fourth skill. If I want to play it safe, though, I prefer 2x Plague and 2x Hunter because this combo allows us to get four HP-based components to boost our Max HP tremendously.

For Bossing, I would go with the 4x Slayer set to nuke bosses with max damage.

Bravery Set External Components Setup

The Bravery set allows us to spam our fourth skill the most. This is great when you need to place the AoE in a different area.

• 2 Set:
  • Max Shield +11.8%
• 4 Set:
  • Skill Cost -5.7%.
  • 20% chance to reduce a random skill’s cooldown by 1s each time an enemy is defeated.

Ines Build Bravery Best External Components

External Component Part	Base Stats	Selective Best Stats	Cores
Bravery Auxiliary Power	Max Shield	Max HP MP Recovery Out of Combat	Max HP DEF
Bravery Armory Sensor	DEF	Max MP MP Recovery in Combat	Max HP DEF
Bravery Memory	DEF	MP Recovery Modifier DEF	Max HP DEF
Bravery Processor	Max Shield	Max Shield Shield Recovery Modifier	Max HP DEF

2x Plague and 2x Hunter Set External Components Setup

This is the safest setup because it allows us to stack three HP-based and one DEF-based components and still get good bonuses out of it.

• 2 Plague Set:
  • Tech Skill Power +5%
• 4 Hunter Set:
  • Skill Cooldown -4%.

Ines Build Plague and Hunter Best External Components

External Component Part	Base Stats	Selective Best Stats	Cores
Plague Auxiliary Power	Max HP	Max HP MP Recovery Out of Combat	Max HP DEF
Hunter Sensor	DEF	Max MP MP Recovery in Combat	Max HP DEF
Plague Memory	Max HP	MP Recovery Modifier DEF	Max HP DEF
Hunter Processor	Max HP	Max Shield Shield Recovery Modifier	Max HP DEF

Slayer External Components Setup

If you want to maximize damage then use the Slayer set. Just remember that this also increases the cost of your skills.

Ines Build Best External Components

External Component Part	Base Stats	Selective Best Stats	Cores
Slayer Auxiliary Power	DEF	Max HP MP Recovery Out of Combat	Max HP DEF
Slayer Armory Sensor	Max Shield	Max MP MP Recovery in Combat	Max HP DEF
Slayer Memory	Max Shield	MP Recovery Modifier DEF	Max HP DEF
Slayer Processor	Max HP	Max Shield Shield Recovery Modifier	Max HP DEF

Inversion Reinforcements Setup for Ines

You can find the Inversion Reinforcements in the inventory, located on the bottom left side. This changes with every new season and needs to be leveled up again. You level up Inversion Reinforcements by doing any activity. However, the fastest way to advance it is by completing Disrupt Invasion (max 4 daily) in the dungeon terminal with the red dungeons.

At max level, you have unlocked everything. While the last perk is always active in each row, you can only slot three additional perks at the bottom. Here is what you want to prioritize:

• Hunt: Pick Arche Circulation Tactic to reduce skill cooldown.
• Attribute: None.
• Recovery: Selective Neurostimulation.
• Survival: Select Deploy Hardened Shell to boost damage mitigation.
• Season: None.

All Ines Transcendent Modules Explained

First, let us look at the full list of all Transcendent Modules for Ines in The First Descendant. It is important to note that not all of the modules will be used. Some are more effective than others!

Plasma Ball Transcendent Module

• The durability of Plasma Ball increases in relation to the Max MP.
• It additionally allows the character hits enemies that have conductors with a skill to deal Dark Current even without Critical Hit.
• Inflict Conductor Status Effect to enemies hit by the skill and deal additional damages to enemies that are already in Conductor state.
• You can acquire it from Kingston: Slumber Valley Hard difficulty, Obstructer Hard difficulty, and Combine Module.

• Active Skill 3: Snare Acrobatics: Gather lightning in both hands and charge forward with force. Deal damage to all targets in the path of the charge and cause a powerful explosion at the end of the path to deal damage to nearby targets. Unlike the existing Discharge Skill, its Damage, Move Distance, and Explosion Range at the final point increase with the charging stack.

Hunting Hounds is an Ines-exclusive Transcendent Module.

How to get Ines’s Time of the Hunting Hounds Module:

• Hagios: The Haven (Hard Difficulty)
• Frost Walker (Hard Difficulty)

The First Descendant Ines Skills Explained

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

Ines’s skill loadout is themed around electric, applying electric damage to many enemies at once in a big radius.

 

Skill Name	Type	Effect	Best Use Case
Chain Lightning	AoE	Places Lighting Orbs on the enemies. Applies the Conductor state.	AoE Damage
Lightning Conductor	AoE	Deals AOE damage to nearby monsters.	AoE Damage
Discharge	AoE	Gathers and releases electricity to the front. Longer charging means more damage.	AoE Damage
Snare Hunter	AoE, Snare	Throw a Plasma Acceleration Coil forward to snare enemies and deal AoE damage over time.	Snare & AoE Damage
Plasma Oscillation (Passive)	Passive	Increases Skill Critical Hit Rate with higher Max MP. Critical Hits on enemies create Dark Currents causing cascading damage to nearby mobs.	Is always active

Chain Lightning Skill 1

Strikes enemies with a chain of lightning. The lightning bolts bounce between enemies and deal damage before returning to Ines.

Chain Lightning Skill Description:

• Fires Chain Lightning forward.
• Chain Lightning bounces between multiple enemies, to deal damage and inflict Conductor on enemies hit.
• When attacking enemies with Conductor, deals increased damage.

Lightning Conductor Skill 2

Inflicts an electric shock through current coils on enemies within range. The more enemies inflicted with Conductor within range, the more targets the current coils will attach to and the more damage it deals.

Lightning Conductor Description:

• Creates Current Coils on nearby enemies, to deal damage.
• Creates Current Coils on all enemies with Conductor, to deal damage.
• Inflicts Conductor on those hit.
• When attacking enemies with Conductor, deals increased damage.

Discharge Skill 3

Ines consumes plasma and gathers the converted electrical current in her fist, releasing it powerfully in front of her. The more current she gathers, the greater the area and the more powerful the attack.

Discharge Description:

• Charges her hand with electricity and thrusts it forward to release a bolt of lightning.
• Charging the current increases damage and range.
• Releasing the charge at the peak deals the most damage.
• Inflicts Conductor on enemies hit.
• When attacking enemies with Conductor, deals increased damage.

Snare Hunter Skill 4

Throws a plasma acceleration coil forward. The plasma acceleration coil creates a Thunder Snare at the location it hits, dealing damage to nearby enemies for a certain period and inflicting an electric shock through current coils on enemies within range at regular intervals. The more enemies inflicted with Conductor within range, the more targets the current coils will attach to and the more damage it deals.

 Description:

• Throws a Plasma Acceleration Coil forward and creates a Thunder Snare at the point of impact for a certain period of time.
• When using skill grants Short Circuit. While Short Circuit is active, Dark Current deals damage at the Max Damage Rate.
• Inflicts Conductor on enemies hit by the Thunder Snare.
• Thunder Snare creates Current Coils on nearby enemies to deal damage.
• When attacking enemies with Conductor, deals increased damage.

Plasma Oscillation (Passive)

Deals greater damage to enemies inflicted with Conductor. Landing a Firearm or Skill Critical Hit on an enemy inflicted with Conductor deals further damage to nearby enemies.

Plasma Oscillation Passive Description:

• Skill Critical Hit Rate increases as Max MP increases.
• Skill Critical Hits against enemies with Conductor have a chance to restore MP.
• Firearm or Skill Critical Hits on an enemy with Conductor have a chance to cause Dark Current.
• Killing enemies with Conductor or the effect expiring still triggers Dark Current.
• Dark Current deals a portion of its damage to nearby targets based on Max MP, and inflicts Conductor on enemies hit.
• Charges Plasma whenever you inflict Conductor on an enemy.

How Modules Work in The First Descendant

Modules are the bread and butter of all The First Descendant Builds. There are a few important things to remember about modules. This is for both Descendant and Weapon Modules.

While most builds require you to increase Module Capacity with an Energy Activator (you get two for free), they won’t require you to reduce the Module cost with Crystallization Catalyst. However, if you want to truly min-max a build, you will need plenty of these Catalysts.

1. How to increase your Module Capacity
2. Module Levels and Cost
   1. Kuiper Shards & best way to farm!
3. Reduce the cost of Modules
4. How to farm Modules

How to Increase Module Capacity

You get a base of 45 Modules for every Descendant character. And you can increase this up to 85 currently. First off, always slot a Sub Attack Module (Slot 7). When you increase this to the max level you will get an additional 10 Module Capacity. if you use a Crystallization Catalyst on the Sub Attack Module, you even get 15 extra slots. You will see this in the setup below.

Additionally, you can use an Energy Activator to increase your Module Capacity by another 20. However, these are fairly hard to farm, only use them on your best Descendants.

Lastly, increasing your Mastery Rank will also increase Module Capacity. Rank 1 gives you 25 Module Capacity, Rank 20 gives you 50 Module Capacity. That is how we reach the 80 Module Capacity that you see on most builds.

1. Slot a Sub Attack Module (and max it out to get +10 capacity, crystallize it for +15)
2. Use an Energy Activator (2o extra capacity)
3. Increase Mastery Rank (25 base capacity, max 50)

Weapons: Basically the same, but because you don’t have Subattack Modules, the Energy Activator gives you 30 instead of just 20 extra capacity.

You can also read my in-depth guide on how to increase Module Capacity in The First Descendant if you need more information. Or my Best Energy Activator Farm Spots and our Best Crystallization Catalyst Farm Spots. I tested all of the grind spots by myself and have already farmed plenty of these items with this method.

Module Levels and Cost

Modules can be enhanced (leveled up) with Kuiper Shards in The First Descendant. Enhancing Modules increases their power. At higher levels, the power will increase way more than at lower levels. Therefore it is always recommended to max out the most important Module first.

Here is an example of a must-have Module called Increased HP for our Descendant. You will notice that we start at 22%, but at the max level, we get a whopping 218.5% increase in health!

Transcendent Modules are the exception; they decrease Capacity Cost with higher levels!

For an in-depth overview, please visit our How to Level Up Modules in The First Descendant guide.

How to Farm Kuiper Shards

Kuiper Shards are used to level up Modules. We have a guide on the Top 3 Kuiper Shard Farming Locations in the First Descendant. We explain how to most efficiently farm Kuiper Shards (300-500k/hour) and show the amount you need to level up mods. As a summary, to max out a Module you need:

• Normal Modules: 103’100 Kuiper Shards
• Rare Modules: 206’200 Kuiper Shards
• Ultimate Modules: 309’300 Kuiper Shards
• Transcendent Modules: 515’500 Kuiper Shards

Always max out the most important Modules first, we will showcase the order below.

How to Reduce the Cost of Modules

To reduce the cost of Modules you need Crystallization Catalysts in The First Descendant. These require a lot of time investment, most builds won’t require you to get many if any at all (Budget Setup). But if you want to completely min-max you need to get plenty of them as technically, every slot can have a specific socket type to half the cost.

Modules have Socket Types. Our Increased HP Module has the Cerulean Socket Type.

• Module: Increased HP
• Socket Type: Cerulean

This is important because if we place our Increased HP Module in the fitting Socket Type, it will half the cost of the Module!

How to farm Modules in The First Descendant

Most The First Descendant Modules can be acquired fairly easily, but the higher-quality ones (Ultimate, Transcendent) are more tedious to obtain. Here is the easiest process to farm Modules quickly.

Open Map > Swap to Access Info > Select Modules

Here, you can find all Modules and their drop locations. If a module drops from several locations, it is recommended to select drop locations with higher drop chances.

There isn’t really much more to this. Simply check the location and go farm. Normal and Rare quality Modules have 30-50% drop chances in most cases. Ultimate ones range around the 5% mark and Transcendent ones can be a tough cookie with around 2% drop chance.

We will list the best farming location of modules in the next step of the guide.

Smooth Grapple Hook for your Ines Build

Using the standard Grapple Hook in The First Descendant can be a pain, and it feels kinda frustrating at times. Don’t worry, there is a way better alternative that will make it a joy to use the grappling hook!

It is called the Mid-Air Maneuvering Sub Module. I use this on all my The First Descendant Builds because it improves grappling by so much.

With this Module, you can attach your Grapple Hook to anything, even air! That means you can simply aim towards the sky and Hook up your grapple hook there for guaranteed fast movement!

Here is a guide on how to get the Mid-Air Maneuvering Sub Module in The First Descendant. It won’t take a lot of effort, but it will improve your build and overall gameplay in The First Descendant.

Ines’s Story in The First Descendant – Ines Raya

Ines, like her Mother Carmen, had incredible agility, intelligence, and a noble sense of self-sacrifice.

When it was discovered that she had also inherited her thunderous arche, she decided to enlist just as quickly and with as much intensity as her mother.

Her grades at thee Descendant military academy were unsurprisingly top-notch, and when given the right to choose her unit, Ines followed her Mother’s lead and joined the Void Hunting H.O.U.N.D.S.

She brought along with her the two guns Carmen left her, the ominous Hound and hungry Hound.

Void Vessels.

The wreckage of Vulgus battleships destroyed while crossing dimensions…

Thought to be trapped forever in the blackness of space, the wreckage would occasionally fall to Ingris along with the Colossi humanity failed to intercept. Of course, in the early days of the Apocalypse, humanity mistook these cursed fragments for parts of the Colossi, and since even with all their military might they were unable to stop the Colossi… The black, ominous debris that littered the skies was not considered a real threat. However, the fall of VV001, the first to be classified a Void Vessel, was perhaps a predestined tragedy for Albion.

At the time of the incident, humanity realized in the final stages that the extreme heat source that had triggered the proximity alert on the Void Radar was not just a Colossus; it was the bow of a massive Vulgus battleship, and Void Energy that was being detected was the corpse of a Colossus hanging from the bow. What’s more, the barely functioning battleship systems were moving toward the Ingris dimension, and the projected collision course of this lost mass was not far from Albion. The problem was, Albion Headquarters had no operational procedure for this type of situation.

It was hard to believe that the Descendants, who could intercept Colossi, were unable to deal with a lump of scrap metal. But the Descendants’ abilities and equipment were geared toward short battles to kill Colossi, and humanity’s space shaping technology could only hold the Void for so long. Humanity’s only remaining option was to send the Descendants inside the Vulgus battleship to disable its engines.

It would have been a difficult decision for any Descendant to embark on such a suicidal mission, but the Descendant who was monitoring the situation, had already made up her mind, and with the speed and intensity of her lightning Arche, she advanced into Void Space. Leaving behind only her rifle and handgun, which she called the Hunting Hounds…

A while later, with an explosion that could be heard across dimensions, the extreme heat source proximity alert was silenced. The Descendant was agile enough to outrun the falling Vulgus battleship, clever enough to find the engine bay in a single glance, and selfless enough to overload the reactor with her Arche abilities and self-destruct along with the Vulgus battleship. This noble mission was later codified into the doctrine of the Void Vessel Operations, and the wreckage of the Vulgus battleship destroyed on that day was officially named VV001. The name of the very first honorary H.O.U.N.D. member was Carmen Raya, mother of the siblings Ines and Emilio.

Ines, like her mother Carmen, had incredible agility, intelligence, and a noble sense of self-sacrifice. When it was discovered that she had also inherited her thunderous Arche, she decided to enlist just as quickly and with as much intensity as her mother.

Her grades at the Descendant Military Academy were unsurprisingly top-notch, and when given the right to choose her unit, Ines followed her mother’s lead and joined the Void Hunting Hounds. She brought along with her the two guns Carmen left her, the Ominous Hound and Hungry Hound…
