How To Get Best Mods Complete Guide | Upgrading & What To Keep

If you are a beginner and is completely new to this modules system, there is this one option for you. You can try using the Auto Equip feature to the top right of your screen.

There, you’ll be able to see the Auto Equip button which helps you with an overview of what mods to take.

Some battles you engage in may also have different requirements like which defense or damage type to take. For example, you may use the Bunny character, which may need a lot of electrical damage increase modules. It’s always better for you to explore own builds and experiment along the way.

Another thing for you to note is that some mods can only be used on certain characters. In the bottom of your modules menu, you can see a box that says View Modules for current Descendant only which you can tick.

You should always try to max the modules capacity of your Descendant. This will allow you to have more mods equipped at the same time.

With many different mods, you can combine them and further increase your power in various fights and challenges.

In order to do anything with your mods, you’ll want to head towards the location of Silion, the Module Master in Albion.

Once you open up his menu, you can manage your modules through the Enhance Modules, Dismantle Modules and Combine Modules dialogue options.

In the Enhance Menu, you can choose to upgrade some of the modules. Once you upgrade these modules, their capacity cost will increase as well as the stat buffs they provide.

One good card that you can use on most characters is the Increased HP mod, which can be useful in most circumstances.

You can choose to increase or lower their levels to choose the right capacity cost to invest in your build. When you upgrade these modules, you will need a unique credits currency.

In order to get them, you’ll want to dismantle excess or less useful mods that you do not need.

The Combine Modules feature allows you to become less useful mods to create better ones with higher rarity.

This also works if you have many extra versions of the same mod. In order to obtain these excess modules, you can do many different activities.

One activity you can try doing is defense, which you can find at most of the areas. At a random rate, you’ll be able to get a number of these different mods.

If you ever get lucky, you’ll be able to find the right mod for your character. You can also dismantle duplicate mods to gain currencies.

That’s everything you need to know about the Modules system in The First Descendant. For now, the options you can do with your mods are quite limited. However, once the game updates and comes out of the beta stage, you’ll be able to see more changes to it.

Another thing to keep in mind is that there is no best build since the characters you play and the weapons you use have different effects and playstyles. The best thing you can do is to keep experimenting and figure out what works best for you!
