External Components play a crucial yet often ignored role in enhancing gameplay and the endgame experience in The First Descendant. Among the various components available, the Slayer set stands out as one of the premier options, offering a range of beneficial buffs for players.
The Slayer set is classified as an Ultimate tier set. Like all External Components in The First Descendant, it consists of four distinct parts: Memory, Processor, Auxiliary Power, and Sensor. Players can acquire each component of the Slayer set by defeating the Pyromaniac Intercept Battle on hard mode, a task that can be repeated to farm the necessary pieces.
How to Obtain the Slayer Set in The First Descendant
Acquiring two pieces from the Slayer set results in a notable stat increase, while obtaining the complete four-piece set offers even more significant enhancements. Specifically, securing the two-piece set boosts general Rounds Capacity by 8 percent. On the other hand, using all parts of the Slayer set provides a 9 percent increase in Rounds per Magazine, a remarkable 26.1 percent enhancement in Skill Power, and a 15 percent reduction in Skill Cost. Furthermore, achieving the complete set yields a 17 percent chance to recover MP and a 12 percent chance to regain Specialized Resource when defeating enemies affected by Towed.
The Slayer set is a versatile Component suitable for any Descendant, but it shines particularly for damage-per-second (DPS) characters adept at using firearms, such as Gley and Jayber.
When confronting the Pyromaniac boss, employing a tactical strategy is essential. Entering the battle with a resilient Descendant resistant to fire damage, such as Ajax, is highly advantageous. Ajax’s skills are designed to absorb incoming attacks, thus protecting the team while delivering damage. Freyna is another valuable ally in this encounter; her Toxic abilities quickly penetrate the boss’s defenses, and her defensive skills enable her to withstand most assaults. Additionally, acquiring the Heat Antibody mod for your Descendant along with bolstering their Fire Resistance significantly enhances your prospects in this challenging boss fight.
