How to Play Enzo in the First Descendant

The First Descendant Enzo Build Overview

Enzo is a very useful Descendant. You can play him both as support character to buff allies (unlimited ammo, faster speed) or as DPS character. We will explore both options on this page. Learn about his skills in detail in the Enzo’s Skill Explanation section. Enzo’s Transcendent Modules are also exceptional!

Enzo is a weapon-based Descendant and therefore relies on a maxed-out weapon to be effective!


Enzo’s Support Build

Enzo’s Support Build focuses on providing allies and yourself with unlimited ammo and faster movement speed. Having unlimited ammo is especially useful on heavy armor-type weapons such as rocket launchers. With this, you can infinitely spam rockets! Additionally, we are also built tanky to mitigate incoming damage.


Enzo’s Focus Fire DPS Build

Enzo can also be played as a DPS character. This will require you to have a maxed-out weapon! With this setup we have the 60% faster reload speed, infinite ammo, and higher weapon crit rate. This works flawlessly with a Rocket launcher or Shotgun. Additionally, our turret also deals nice damage and scales with shield size. Therefore, we max out our shield and put our HP at 1.


Enzo’s Equipment: Make Or Break It!

To unlock Enzo’s full potential, you need the right Weapons, Reactors, and External Components:

Building a top-tier The First Descendant Enzo Build requires not only the right modules but also optimized weapons, reactors, and components.


Best Enzo Builds Overview for The First Descendant

Enzo Icon The First Descendant 
In this section, we are going to look at the different best Enzo Build Setups for The First Descendant. The optimized setups require a lot of Crystallization Catalysts. We have a full guide on how to farm Crystallization Catalysts in The First Descendant. The Budget setup requires no Crystallization Catalysts.

All Enzo build setups require an Energy Activator to increase the Module Capacity. We also have an in-depth guide on how to farm Energy Activators in The First Descendant. Additionally, you will need plenty of Kuiper Shards and Gold to increase Module Levels. Here are the Top 3 Kuiper Shard farm spots!

Equipment: I will cover Weapons, Reactors, and External Components in the Enzo Equipment section. To maximize the power of any build, you must get the correct items!

Additionally, we will only have 1HP but have an insane shield size. This is also because we get stronger the more shield size we have.

Trigger and Ancestor Modules for the Enzo Build

Trigger and Ancestor Modules are also part of the module category, but they are a special type of module that are harder to unlock and acquire.

  • Trigger Modules: Go into a special slot. Unlock special buffs and unique effects.
  • Ancestor Modules: Go into a normal module slot. Enhance the build by adding additional stats.

Enzo Trigger Modules

Full Arche Jacket Trigger Module The First Descendant

You need to first unlock the trigger module slot for each character. Learn how to unlock Trigger Modules in The First Descendant.

Enzo Ancestor Module

TFD Enzo Ancestor Module Quartermasters Resolution

Ancestor Modules can be slotted once you have acquired them. However, they are only worth it once you have an Ancestor module with good stat rolls on them.

Enzo Ancestor Module: Quartermaster’s Resolution

It is only worth slotting an Ancestor Module if you have good rolls on it; otherwise, it isn’t worth it.

  • Ideal Positive Rolls

    • Cooldown
    • Duration

Arche Tuning for Enzo

The Arche Tuning System in The First Descendant is important for every Character; it buffs your stats by a good amount. F

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

Best Reactor for Enzo in The First Descendant

Selecting the best reactor for Enzo in The First Descendant can significantly enhance his abilities, allowing you to maximize his effectiveness in various scenarios. Not only does the reactor determine your skill damage, but it also gives additional secondary benefits through modifiers.

For Enzo, the type of reactor doesn’t matter because he relies on weapons to deal damage. Only the modifiers are important! We want Skill Cooldown and Skill Duration.

How to find the Location of Reactors

The First Descendant How To Find 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 Enzo Build

Here is the best External Components setup for both Enzo Builds that you can use.

Additionally, External Components now also have core slots; it is recommended to slot Max HP and DEF cores.

Inversion Reinforcements Setup for Enzo

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: Arche Circulation Tactic (Faster Skill Cooldown).
  • Attribute: None.
  • Recovery: Selective Neurostimulation.
  • Survival: Deploy Hardened Shell.
  • Season: None.

How To Farm Enzo Modules

Farming Enzo’s Transcendent Modules can be an absolutely painful experience. However, even though it still feels awful to farm them, it actually used to be even worse. You will have to open so-called Encrypted Vaults that are placed all over the map. To open these, you need Code Breakers/Analyzers. Enzo specializes in opening these, it is pretty much impossible to do this with any other character. Enzo has way more time and leeway while playing the minigame.

  1. The Mods only drop on Precise Encrypted Vaults (Blue) and Ultraprecise Encrypted Vaults (Purple)
  2. Vaults can be seen if you are on the map by these icons (image 2 above).
  3. You need Code Analyzers (normal) and Code Breakers (hard) to open the vaults.
  4. Best way to farm Code Analyzers and Breakers is by simply playing the game, they can drop from any monster (low drop chance). Or you can farm a high monster density mission like Anticipated Ambush Point mission on hard.
  5. Special Operations (Spawn in Albion, walk forward and then left, the yellow orb terminal) also drop them.

Enzo Transcendent Module Locations:

  • Enzo Focus Fire Module TFD icon Focus Fire: Any Fortress zone (normal/hard)
  • Enzo Reinforce Front Line Module TFD icon Reinforce Front Line: Any Echo Swamp & Hagios zone (normal/hard)
  • Enzo Supply Firearm Enhancer Module TFD icon Supply Firearm Enhancer: Any Vespers & White-night Gulch zone (normal/hard)
  • Enzo Supply Tactical Armor Module TFD icon Supply Tactical Armor: Any Sterile Land & Agna Desert zone (normal/hard)
  • Tip: Sometimes, Events reward you with Transcendent Module Selection boxes that can also include Enzo mods!

Explosive drone Enzo The First Descendant Explosive Drone Launches an Explosive Drone forward. The Explosive Drone explodes on contact with an enemy or a terrain object, dealing damage.

Efficiency increases when Enzo disarms the security of the Encrypted Vault, and rewards increase when this happens.

Start Supply

Start Supply Enzo The First Descendant

Summons a Bullet Supplying Device at the designated location. Supplies bullets to allies that approach the Device. The Bullet Supplying Device can be used once by each ally, and disappears when everyone has used it or its duration ends.

Start Supply Skill Description:

  • Non-Attribute – Singular
  • Summons a Bullet Supplying Device at the designated location. Supplies bullets to allies that approach the Device. The Bullet Supplying Device can be used once by each ally, and disappears when everyone has used it or its duration ends.

How to use Start Supply:

The Start Supply skill is easy to use within coordinated groups; simply place it where it is accessible to most group members. However, it gets a bit trickier in random groups since most players don’t really pay attention to what is happening around them.

This is an amazing skill because it refills any type of ammo, even heavy ammo, which is scarce in The First Descendant.

Start Supply Enzo Skill 1 The First Descendant

 

Explosive Drone

Explosive drone Enzo The First Descendant

Launches an Explosive Drone forward. The Explosive Drone explodes on contact with an enemy or a terrain object, dealing damage.

Explosive Drone Skill Description:

  • Non-Attribute – Dimension
  • Launches an Explosive Drone forward.
  • The Explosive Drone explodes on contact with an enemy or a terrain object, dealing Burst damage.

How to use Explosive Drone:

Explosive Drone is a good area of effect damage skill with a decent cooldown. Use it to blow up groups of enemies.

Explosive Drone Enzo Skill 2 The First Descendant

Enhance Combat Suit

Enhance Combat Suit Enzo The First Descendant

Enhance Combat Suit Skill Description:

  • Non-Attribute – Dimension
  • Summons Shield Recovery Comms.
  • When the Shield Recovery Comms is first summoned, it recovers the Shield and Grants Enhance Combat Suit.

How to use Enhance Combat Suit:

Enhance Combat Suit is a strong defensive skill. This is also the reason why Enzo has some of the better DEF than most other non-tank characters. Basically you can recover your Shield at a press of a button with this and it also keeps recovering for a short duration.

Enhanced Combat Suite Enzo Skill 3 The First Descendant

Perfect Support

Perfect Support Enzo The First Descendant

Summons a Small Supply Ship to himself and his allies. The Small Supply Ship periodically provides Supply Bullets and grants Perfect Support to allies. The Small Supply Ship attacks enemies in front while it is active, and when the skill ends, it fires a missile forward that causes a big explosion at its destination.

  • Non-Attribute – Singular
  • Summons a Small Supply Ship to himself and his allies. The Small Supply Ship provides Supply Bullets and grants Perfect Support to allies. The Small Supply Ship attacks enemies in front, and when the skill ends, it fires a missile forward that causes a big explosion.

How to use Perfect Support:

Perfect Support is an amazing ultimate skill, it restores all of the ammo, even heavy ammo and keeps supplying you with ammo over time as long as the skill is active. Additionally it also deals decent damage. But the real banger here is the resupply of heavy ammo. This means you can spam heavy ammo weapons as long as this is active.

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!

Level Capacity Cost Power
0 – Base 6 22%
1 7 31.2%
2 8 41.4%
3 9 54.4%
4 10 69.8%
5 11 87.2%
6 12 108.2%
7 13 130.2%
8 14 155.2%
9 15 184.5%
10 16 218.5%

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. 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.


Smooth Grapple Hook for your Enzo 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.

Mid Air Maneuvering Hook

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.


Enzo’s Story in The First Descendant

If asked to pick the most important factors for winning a war, the general response would be powerful weapons, a strong fighting force, and cutting-edge technology. However, The First Descendant Enzo would beg to differ.

Powerful weapons must be transported to the front lines on time, and a strong fighting force must be well-fed and capable of shooting accurately. Also, cutting-edge technology demands sufficient resources to sustain mass production. As such, for Enzo, the most important factor in winning a war is a seamless and systematic supply flow. If only such things had been achievable at that time… Enzo continues to blame himself for what had happened to his cousin, Lepic, as well as the annihilation of the 44th Grenadier Squad.

In the past, during the Agna Desert Defense Operation, Enzo, who had been quartermaster at the time, drove towards the front lines in a tactical armored vehicle to deliver the much needed ammunition to the besieged 44th Grenadier Squad.

Not only did he intend to rescue his sole surviving blood relative, Lepic, but it was a race against the clock, as the timely supply of ammunition could turn the tide of battle.

But perhaps he was too hasty. The Supply Squad, which was enroute without a proper escort, was ambushed by the Vulgus, and all of the ammunition they were carrying was lost in the ensuing explosion. Now, it was he, not the 44th Grenadier Squad, who was in danger of losing his life. Despite finding himself facing death, he instead despaired at the fact that he had lost the ammunition which he needed to deliver to his teammates. That feeling of hopelessness… Losing both his comrades and his cousin this way…

At that moment, supplies started to appear from the ground on where he had been crying out in despair. It was later revealed that this phenomenon had been caused by Enzo’s Arche ability, Inorganic Matter Spatial Awareness Summoning, and this ammunition had been summoned from a faraway Albion ammunition depot. However, Enzo, who was unaware of this fact, believed that a miracle had happened and defeated the enemies by himself, eventually succeeding in transporting the supplies to the 44th Grenadier Squad’s location.

However, there would be no second miracle. By the time he arrived, the Grenadier Squad had been wiped out, and Lepic, who was lucky enough to survive, had lost his right arm. Although Lepic would overcome adversity and become an outstanding Descendant, Enzo blamed himself, believing that if there had been no issues with the supply flow, a loss of this scale could have been prevented in the first place.

Never again would he allow himself to fail. Through perfect supply operations, he would save his comrades and win the war. Even now, as a Descendant under the direct command of Albion HQ, and as an executive officer, he is always revisiting the events of that day, repeating his promise. And whenever there is place that requires assistance, he will go in person to the front, providing as many supplies as the soldiers needed. His aim? To make something as essential for victory as supplies be considered a given and not a miracle.
