10 Best Transcendent Modules in The First Descendant

10 Best Transcendent Modules in The First Descendant

Key Takeaways

  • Transcendent Modules define playstyles and aren’t created equally.
  • Overcharged Edge, Cold Snap Watch, Duty and Sacrifice are top-tier Modules for Sharon, Viessa, and Yujin.
  • Some Modules, like High Voltage for Bunny, are only useable by the Ultimate version of the Descendant.

As a seasoned gamer with over two decades under my belt, I’ve seen my fair share of game updates and character reworks. But let me tell you, the recent buffs to Contagion on Freyna and Massive Sanguification on Gley are something else!


In the game ‘The First Descendant‘, Transcendent Modules are scarce and tailor-experience for each Descendant uniquely. Often, these Modules shape the overall gameplay strategy, making it crucial to understand their benefits for each character.

The power of these Modules ranges from “meta” to utterly useless. With this in mind, here are 10 of the best Transcendent Modules you absolutely must keep if you get them.

I’ve added farming locations to every Transcendent Module, however, you can also acquire many of them by merging Modules with Silion in Albion.

10 Overcharged Edge

Mega-Damage From The Shadows

Sharon could be a specialist in a specific area, yet she boasts some extraordinary advanced abilities in her skillset.

As an avid player, I found a fascinating adjustment in Overcharged Edge – instead of draining Mana Points (MP), Sharon’s Camouflage now taps into Shield energy! At first glance, this tweak might seem insignificant, but it significantly alters gameplay dynamics.

Sharon gains a substantial boost to her attack damage when emerging from Stealth mode. This bonus comes at no MP cost, allowing her to disappear and reappear freely, significantly enhancing her ability to deal damage.

In the game “The First Descendant“, shields have less of an effect compared to HP (Health Points) and DEF (Defense). Therefore, employing a shield should not impact your character’s ability to survive.

Sharon might seem slightly weak at the moment, yet the developers promptly address feedback, suggesting that our skilled assassin may get an opportunity to excel in the future.

9 Cold Snap Watch

Instant Death

Viessa’s inventory includes a couple of Transcendent Modules, given the potency of her available choices. The Cold Snap Watch enhances her Cold Snap skill, transforming it from a shotgun-like blast into an area of effect (AOE) damage dealer.

In simpler terms, Cold Snap’s ability creates a large expanse of icy terrain that gradually causes significant harm to enemies. This icy area persists for an extended period, making it highly effective for eliminating enemy mobs as they spawn.

In the game The First Descendant, it’s commonly acknowledged that enhancing weapons can be quite a tedious task. However, skills such as Cold Snap Watch award weapon experience upon kills, and you can lay down sheets of ice at enemy spawn points to effectively eliminate them when they emerge.

In simpler terms, you can employ this Transcendent Module to control when adversaries appear in certain Battleground Missions. This capability is potent enough for use in any crowd control activities, but do remember to engage in a private game session if your intention is to prematurely leave quests.

If you focus on gathering Gold and Kuiper rather than Experience points, Invasion Dungeons can actually be quite beneficial for you, as they have undergone significant changes since their initial release.

8 Duty and Sacrifice

A Top-Tier Support Module

I rarely see Yujin unless I play him, which is a shame, as he’s a super support Descendant.

Enhancing Yujin’s Super-Responsive Recuperation Terrain are principles of Responsibility and Selflessness. This talent boasts an extraordinary reach and consistently restores health bars at considerable distances.

You can enhance the HP boost by using HP Modifications such as Passionate Sponsor. When you assemble these Modules (Duty and Sacrifice), they can quickly refill your entire health bar in one go.

While it’s true that high damage figures are appealing, let me clarify that you can also effectively contribute as a supportive character within the game “The First Descendant.

Yujin’s farm may be a drag, but he’s well worth the grind, and your teammates will love you.

7 Supply Firearm Enhancer

And You Only Use Enzo For Vaults…

Ultimate Descendant exclusive?No

Enzo can use a remarkable Transcendant Module in Supply Firearm Enhancer.

In Colossus fights, this Module truly shines by boosting the damage on Weak Points and increasing Critical Hit Rates for firearms. This benefit can be utilized by your comrades, transforming Enzo into an exceptional support character.

Equipping Firearm Enhancer transforms Enzo into an effective carrier of various top-tier weapons within the game. Lately, I’ve been favoring the Enduring Legacy, but the developers tend to boost rarely used equipment.

For fans of Enzo, don’t forget that the Transcendent Module can be acquired exclusively from the highly secure and encrypted vaults in Vespers and White-night Gulch.

You cannot obtain it any other way, even through combining.

6 Cold Bloodedness

Become An Ice Cold Generalist

Ultimate Descendant exclusive?No

Viessa possesses some damaged Transcendent Modules that offer proficiency in various game activities. I’m highlighting the Cold Bloodedness module due to its extensive benefits. It’s not only useful, but also entertaining because it allows for frequent use of Viessa’s abilities.

Cold Bloodedness ramps up Viessa’s Skill Power while decreasing their Cost and Cooldowns.

With such significant cost reduction and short cooldown periods, you can repeatedly use Viessa’s abilities with very little waiting time in between. Her skill damage amplification makes it possible to defeat most enemies merely by focusing on them. The damage power is effective not only against common mobs but also proves sufficient for battling Colossi.

Incorporating Cold Bloodedness into your character’s abilities is flexible, and as you capitalize on Viessa’s lethal talents, she will derive advantages from it.

5 Supply Moisture

Don’t Drink It

Where to obtainFortress Normal or Hard: Frozen Valley Void Fusion Reactor
Ultimate Descendant exclusive?No

Valby is an elite character within the game, suitable for all activities. Her collection of Transcendent Modules is remarkable, with Supply Moisture being particularly noteworthy among them.

When Valby is submerged in water, it triggers the Moisture ability, a state that should persist most of the time. In this situation, Valby experiences an enhancement to her overall Critical Hit Rate. Additionally, she benefits from extended Skill Duration, which means her Area of Effect skills linger for a longer period.

The Transcendent Module significantly enhances Valby’s overall performance, and the Critical Hit Rate bonus on her abilities sends her damage soaring skyward. In most game scenarios, Supplying Moisture is sufficient, and you won’t even have to adjust your playstyle to reap the rewards.

4 Firearm Master

Reduce Your Foes To Ashes

Required DescendantLepic
Where to obtainHard Mode Obstructor
Ultimate Descendant exclusive?Yes

In simpler terms, Lepic is capable of dealing some of the greatest boss damage throughout the whole game. The Firearm Master skill aids in this task, as it boosts Lepic’s ability power whenever he switches weapons.

The significant aspect lies in the fact that when you activate Lepic’s Overkill ability, it essentially transforms your weapon into a unique one. The enhancement isn’t something to be taken lightly, as it provides a substantial 39% boost for a full 5 seconds. If you’ve witnessed any demonstrations of bosses being quickly defeated, you can attribute that to Firearm Master.

With an appropriate setup, you’ll be able to swiftly defeat several challenging bosses within a minute without assistance. The key strategy for Lepic involves mastering firearms, which serves as the foundation for his tactics.

3 High Voltage

Haha, Get Out Of The Way!

Required DescendantBunny
Where to obtainHard Mode Pyromaniac
Ultimate Descendant exclusive?Yes

Thanks to her Lightning Emission ability, Bunny is easily the best mobbing Descendant in the game.

Using High Voltage enhances the focus on striking fewer opponents, yet it intensifies the damage inflicted upon them significantly. This may not seem advantageous at first, but remember that they will receive a stronger shock than normal. Additionally, the distance over which you can electrify enemies is greatly expanded, allowing you to cook enemies from a safe distance.

In their collaboration with High Voltage, Bunny’s fundamental game mechanics remain consistent, yet her ability to inflict damage often skyrockets to astronomical numbers.

The Module can only be used by Ultimate Bunny, but the combo is so powerful that she’s worth the grind.

2 Contagion

The Toxin Queen Is Back!

As I type this, Ultimate Freyna is fast approaching, and let me tell you, they’ve really outdone themselves with Contagion! The devs have been consistently upgrading it since season one, and there’s no end in sight to their improvements.

The effect of being in Room 0 Trauma causes an enemy to explode upon death, spreading a debilitating Room 0 Trauma effect that inflicts substantial, almost unbelievable damage on surrounding areas.

In Room 0, the Trauma appears similar to Toxin harm, but it’s crucial to recall that it’s a distinct debuff. This particular attribute inflicts damage on every enemy, irrespective of their resistance level.

Contagion is so good now; a well-built Freyna can even keep up with Valby and Bunny for mobbing.

If you’re excited about Ultimate Freyna, get your grubby mitts on Contagion ASAP.

1 Massive Sanguification

Gley Does It All

Key InfoDetails
Required DescendantGley
Where to obtainHard Mode Dead Bride
Ultimate Descendant exclusive?No

Massive Sanguification has a goofy name but is a quintessential part of any Gley build.

The in-game description is pretty convoluted, but it’s basically a two-pronged augment affecting Gley’s Life Siphon.

While in Frenzy, Gley immediately gains three bars on her meter when she uses Increased Sensory.

If Gley is calm and composed, her health increases according to the number of surrounding adversaries, and she also takes in vitality from nearby Life Orbs.

Practically speaking, the use of Massive Sanguification enhances Gley’s ability to endure, providing immediate activation of her Unique Weapon, which is a massacre-inducing tool.

You can construct Gley with high durability, as my Weapon Platform setup boasts 32,000 Defense and 24,000 Health! However, despite these impressive stats, using Gley requires careful management since all of her abilities deplete her health, making gameplay a delicate balancing act.

Enormous Sanguification simplifies the piloting of Gley, be it for limitless ammunition or her exclusive weapon.
