The Descendant's Path

Use Archive Fragments to obtain two Ultimate Descendants that provide a strong foundation for your account.

• Ultimate Bunny is one of the best Descendants: she farms quickly while remaining capable of clearing all game content.
• Ultimate Freyna is a simple and comfortable choice for farming less demanding content.

Unlock these four easy-to-obtain weapons: they are useful across many Descendants and quickly provide reliable options for your builds.

• Blue Beetle
• Fallen Hope
• Secret Garden
• Python

Visit Eckert to collect the Fellow currently in rotation: the Snowy Sled Dog or the Hagios Sheepdog.

• Check which Fellow is offered before spending your resources.
• They alternate in the rotation, so collect whichever one you still need.

These quest lines guide you after the main story and progressively unlock activities added to the game.

• Start with the oldest season quest line you have not completed yet.
• Then continue through each season in release order.
• Complete previous seasons before focusing on the current season's activities.

Research new weapons and raise their Proficiency Level to 40 to quickly increase your Mastery Rank. Start with every blue and purple weapon.

• At Anais, always collect completed weapons and start new research whenever possible.
• Raise each weapon's Proficiency Level to the maximum of 40. Every weapon raised to level 40 contributes to your Mastery Rank.
• The weapon you are actively using receives the most EXP, but your other two equipped weapons also receive some.
• For fast XP, run Hard Infiltration Operations at 400%.
• For a more relaxed XP farm, run the Albion Resource Defense Special Operation with Ultimate Freyna.

Obtain the Vespers Hunting Dog, the only Fellow needed at this step, along with Ines.

• Both the Vespers Hunting Dog and Ines can appear in Eckert's HQ Special Orders rotation.
• Check the current rotation before farming the first Void Vessel: you can skip that farm if Eckert offers them.

Use a highly rated Descendant build on TFD Hub as your goal, then prioritize the parts available at this stage of your progression.

• Start by matching its core setup: essential modules, weapon, Reactor and External Components.
• Reactor and External Component stats can be improved with resources, so do not spend too much time farming directly for yellow stats.
• Ignore the build's Trigger Module and Ancestor Module for now: you will not have access to them at this stage of progression.
• Focus on Sector Sigma to obtain the External Components suited to your build and farm their Cores.
• Run Hard Infiltration Operations at 400% and Purge missions to obtain Weapon Cores.
