Ajax is one of the first characters you can choose in The First Descendant, and he is the only Tank, which may influence many players to make him their first choice. So it is important to know the best build for Ajax.
Here’s everything you need to know about which modules, reactors, weapons, and external components best suit him, his skills, and how to unlock him.
Module Configuration
For the last two locations, you can use different modules depending on the type of combat you are going to face. For example, if you know you’re going to take a lot of fire damage, you can use a fire resistance mod.
The most important for Ajax modules is increase your DEF and HPbecause its barriers are directly proportional to these statistics. So the stronger Ajax is, the more powerful his barrier skills are.
The most important modules for Ajax are the Matrix Recalibration and the Tech Specialist. Tech Specialist adds more power to Voidwalk and Expulsion, and Matrix Recalibration slightly adjusts Expulsion to also make it a useful support ability for teammates.
Reactors
Ajax mainly uses skills Tech And Dimensionso you’ll want to prioritize reactors that boost these types of skills.
Your best reactors will have a high skill power and one high secondary attack powerbut you can also look for reactors that boost non-attribute skills. Ajax struggles a bit in terms of damage, so it’s not a bad idea to look for reactors that increase skill critical damage.
Please note: Make sure you complete the enhancement condition using your reactors, such as having a specific weapon type equipped. This will increase the buff even more, making the build more powerful overall.
External components
External components that increase Max HP and the Defense are your best choices for an Ajax build.
Ajax’s barriers scale with his HP and Defense stats, so it is very important to use external components that complement this effect.
The best weapons
The best weapons to use with Ajax are the Secret Garden tactical rifle, the Nazeistra Devotion revolver and the Albion Cavalry Rifle machine gun.
Secret Garden
NEXONWeapons
- ATK :23
- Rate of fire : 480
- Reload: 1.6 seconds
- Scope : 32m
- Gardener : After using a Dimension skill, collect resources. Using a Tech skill grants Pest control increasing damage, fire rate and skill power.
Secret Garden is a great weapon for Ajax since it uses Dimension and Tech skills.
Devotion of Nazeistra
NEXON- ATK : 81
- Rate of fire : 150
- Reloading : 1.5 seconds
- Scope : 25m
- Fanaticism : By hitting an enemy’s weak point, inflicts a mark of devotion which reduces their defense by 30% for 3 seconds. By touching an ally, the ally’s shield is restored at the cost of your MP.
This revolver has an interesting take on friendly fire, given that you can help your teammates restore their shields with its special ability. The main reason why this is a great choice for Ajax is the defense reduction when hitting weak spots – giving him a much-needed damage boost.
Albion Cavalry Rifle
NEXON- ATK : 30
- Rate of fire : 451
- Reloading : 2.5 seconds
- Scope : 45m
- Cavalry : After hitting a stunned enemy, increases the gun’s ATK. Landing a critical hit on a stunned enemy inflicts stun.
Ajax’s kit mainly revolves around stunning enemies, so the Albion Cavalry Rifle seems made for him. The weapon’s unique perk with Voidwalk means you can essentially continuously stun enemies, making it a great weapon for an Ajax build.
Ajax Skills Explained
Nexon GamesIn The First Descendant, Ajax is a Tank who uses barriers to protect the team, and skills that stun and knock back enemies. Here are all his skills:
- Event Horizon (Passive) : Grants Void Energy after using a skill. When Void Energy reaches its maximum amount, it improves skills and grants additional effects.
- Orbital Barrier : Creates a shield in front of Ajax. Its durability increases proportionally to Ajax’s HP and DEF.
- Voidwalk : Soars into the air then swoops down to hit nearby enemies and stun them.
- Expulsion : Hits nearby enemies and knocks them back.
- Hypercube : Creates a dome-shaped shield. Its durability increases proportionally to Ajax’s HP and DEF.
You need to play Ajax quite aggressively to take advantage of this. He uses his Orbital Barrier and Hypercube to protect himself and his teammates, but Void Walk and Expulsion are powerful skills that can knock back and stun enemies.
Like Bunny, Ajax has a secondary bar to watch over that stores his Void energy. Once his Void Energy is full, his skills gain additional benefits, such as the ability to reflect incoming damage with his barriers.
Managing your Void energy can take a while to master, so it’s a fairly difficult Legatee to play well.
YOU can choose Ajax as one of your starting charactersOr you can search for it later with Anaïs in Albion.
If you have not chosen Ajax as your starting character, you will need to collect, as for the other Legatees, the following items:
- Ajax Improved Cells
- Ajax Stabilizer
- Ajax Spiral Catalyst
- Ajax Code
- 400,000 Gold
It is also possible to unlock an Ultimate version of Ajax, which makes him much stronger than he is in his base form. You must unlock it through research by visiting Anaïs.
