Best Descendant Modules for Bunny

We have divided the best Descendant Modules for an optimized Bunny build into two parts: Leveling and Max Level. Leveling modules are the ones that you should be using when you are still in the mid-to-late game mark. These are mods that you get by the time you reach Master Rank 25.

Max Level modules are end-game components. It’s a part of The First Descendant’s grind loop and will be the most difficult part of Bunny’s build.

Best Weapon and Weapon Modules for Bunny

Thunder Cage THe First Descendant

Currently, the best weapon for Bunny in The First Descendant will be the Thunder Cage submachine gun.

Thunder Cage (Submachine Gun) stats:

Basic Info:

  • Reload Speed: -20%

Electric Shockwave:

  • Trigger Rate: 60%
  • Damage Range: 3 meter radius

Much like with the Descendant Modules make sure you are wary of the Weapon’s Module Capacity limit when slotting in the mods.

Best Reactor and External Components

There are two great reactor stats that you can go for with Bunny:

  • Tingling Singularity: Boost to Electric and Singular type
  • Tingling Mixture: Boost to Electric and Fusion type

However, we would recommend going for the Tingling Singularity reactor more with her if you are looking to build her with the Thunder Cage.

For her External Components, look for the Supernova Set as it will help improve her overall ability damage by a lot.

How to play Bunny in The First Descendant

Once you start making Bunny’s best build in the First Descendant, you will need to learn to master her. The character excels in AoE DPS but to be an effective damage dealer with her you will constantly need to be mobile on the battlefield.

Your skills will cost electricity when you use them, and if they are not on a cooldown you will not be able to use those skills if you are out of electricity. This makes Bunny very ability-reliant and you will need to keep using the Light Speeding skill as much as possible to keep generating her electricity. You will need to shoot while moving which can be difficult for those who are not used to third-person shooters.

Bunny’s Electrocute debuff along with the bonuses that she stacks will let her clear out mobs in an instant. So to make the most of her kit, make sure you are constantly moving around and rebuffing enemies. Then when your skills have charged, blast the enemy for massive damage.

Here are some of Bunny’s pros and cons if you’re looking to main her in the shooter:

Pros:

  • Movement-based Descendant
  • Has one of the best AoE Damage
  • Comes with a beam with an amazing single-target damage
  • Difficult to pin down and kill

Cons:

  • Abilities will constantly need electric charges to use.
  • Difficult character to pick up for players new to third-person shooters
