Next, let us take a look at an optimized Shackles of Mortality Build for The First Descendant.

Here is all the info you need to create a powerful Shackles of Mortality Build:

• Modules
• Weapon Readjustment
• Weapon Cores

Note: High-Level Weapon Cores boost your weapons’ damage numbers into insanity. Make sure to get weapon cores as soon as possible!

Shackles of Mortality Modules

Modules are an important part of every weapon build in The First Descendant. For the Shackles of Mortality hand cannon we focus on modules that boost our crit rate and crit damage.

Weapon Readjustment

You can use the Weapon Readjustment at the Weapon Workbench in Albion. Here are the best Weapon Readjustments for the Shackles of Mortality:

• Firearm ATK
• Fire ATK
• Firearm Critical Hit Damage
• Weak Point Damage

Try to upgrade the Weapon Readjustments to at least purple quality.

Weapon Cores

Weapon Cores juice up your damage quite tremendously. However, especially the later-level Weapon Cores are difficult to get. So start with whatever weapon cores you have available. Weapon Cores drop in the Void Erosion Purge endgame activity.

Higher level Weapon Cores drop in the higher level Void Erosion Purge levels in The First Descendant. However, you can gradually work towards the highest level. I recommend trying to get to level six as soon as possible, since it won’t require clearing many stages and will already increase the power of your weapon tremendously.

Best Weapon Cores for the Shackles of Mortality:

• Fire Rate (Free Augmentation)
• Firearm ATK (Firearm Augmentation)
• Toxic ATK (Attribute Augmentation)
• Firearm Critical Hit Rate (Hit Augmentation)
• Firearm Critical Hit Damage (Hit Augmentation)
