This The First Descendant Freyna Contagion Build is easy to use. It can be used in any content, even Axion, as we deal massive damage.
- Fallen Hope is our primary weapon which boosts poison damage tremendously due to its unique ability and synergy with Freyna.
- Deus Ex Manus is only used in Axion to quickly defeat the bosses.
More Survivability
The Build has 10k HP and 50k DEF (with 2nd skill active). This is generally enough for most content. However, if you want more survivability you can always swap out the Decimator Module for the HP Amplification, bringing up your HP to 19k and the damage tradeoff won't be that big.
Can't reach 10k HP? Check your External Component cores. You must have level 10 cores Max HP on your components, they each give approx 35% extra HP. So 4x 35% is a huge gain. If you miss out on that then you won't reach 10k. This is often overlooked.
Reactor
You can make the build even more effective if you know what type of enemy you fight against. You can swap the Tech Skill Power Boost with whatever enemy faction you are fighting to increase damage. So for example if you use this build only in Axion, you want Additional Skill ATK vs Legion of Breach instead of Tech Skill Power Boost on your reactor. This will give you approx 5-7% extra damage.
Generally, though, I am too lazy to always swap, so I just keep using Tech Skill Power Boost Ratio + Skill Cooldown.
Ancestor Module
If you don't have an Ancestor Module, you want to slot Amplification Control in its place. Otherwise I recommend the following perks:
- Skill Cooldown
- Tech Skill Power Ratio
- Toxic Skill Power Ratio
- Skill Effect Range (If you aren't at the cap already)
- Max Shield (Negative perk)
Trigger Module
Infected Weapon is a must-have for Freyna; it will increase your damage tremendously. As an alternative, you can use Power Beyond.
Arche Tuning Mutant Cells
With Freyna, we can actually use two Mutant Cells. We go the route to the top left and top right side and we also pick Skill Cooldown on the way.
- Left Mutant Cell Defense Neutralization shreds resistances of enemies. This is great solo and even better if you play in a party.
- Right Mutant Cell Putrid Zone does the same thing.
These two Mutant Cells alone give -50% def and -65% Toxin Resistance. That is crazy!
