The First Descendant
Guides
There are numerous characters in The First Descendant, and each one has a unique kit.
In The First Descendant, you have 21 characters at your disposal if you count the six Ultimate versions of Standard characters.
The characters in The First Descendant go by the name of Descendants and just like in Destiny 2, you can use several of them to unlock new skills and explore the universe to grab new weapons and items to improve their build. The game has three starting characters and the rest is unlocked down the road.
As this game is a live service, the developer will keep adding Descendants to the roster as time passes. On July 31, for example, Luna and Ultimate Valby became available in The First Descendant
Before you hop on to The First Descendant, here’s every character (Descendant) available in the game plus their respective role, attributes, and abilities. Learning everything they do is important, especially if you plan on playing online co-op.

All Standard characters in The First Descendant
Ajax
Ajax is one of the three starting characters in The First Descendant along with Lepic and Viessa. The difference is that being a huge tank, Ajax is your best option to absorb damage from enemies and get right on their faces. He’s a character who left the Descendant Corps to become a professor, but ultimately regretted this decision and came back.
Blair
Blair is a character that you can unlock later on in The First Descendant. He was originally a cook who became a fighter after realizing he could manipulate fire rather than simply burn down things like many people. Blair is good at dealing damage over time, rather than providing a big burst at once like other Descendants.
Bunny
Bunny is one of the first Descendants to show up in the game, even though she isn’t a starting option. She grew up as an orphan and was the greatest troublemaker in Albion. Bunny nearly didn’t survive after overusing her Arche abilities, but instead, she recovered and joined the Descendant Corps and started to afford a decent living for herself and her generous grandmother.
Enzo
This is the first supportive character on our list. Enzo shines on the battlefield by supporting others with the assistance of drones. He’s the cousin of Lepic and wants to win the war by saving his comrades with countless supplies of warfare.
Esiemo
Esiemo might dominate Fire like Blair, but they’re totally different as the former excels at dealing burst damage, not damage over time. He wants to become an outstanding Descendant, and to achieve that he’ll have to blow a lot of stuff in the war.
Freyna
Although Freyna manipulates Toxic not fire, she’s very similar to Blair in the sense that both of them excel at dealing damage over time. Freyna has had a rough journey as she had to kill fellow agents who began transforming into Vulgus while she only survived because of her powerful Venom.
Gley
Gley becomes really strong when she unleashes the rage inside her, which makes her one of the most unique characters in The First Descendant. Before joining the combat, Gley was a medical surgeon, but she quit it after The Vulgus kidnapped her daughter.
Jayber
Jayber is another Utility Dealer in The First Descendant and all his power comes with his technological gear. The Magisters raised this natural-born genius to become a weapon of war and make the best of his gear. What differs Jayber from other characters is his ability to activate two different turrets, one that deals damage and another which heals allies.
Kyle
Although Kyle looks a bit similar to Ajax, he’s actually more capable of dealing damage and also can fly. Kyle retired once, but became a Descendant to avenge the friends killed by The Vulgus.
Lepic
Lepic is perhaps one of the most balanced characters in The First Descendant as he can soak up a bit of damage and inflict a ton of damage himself. Although he lost his right arm in a battle with the Dauntless 44th Grenadier Squad, Lepic went on to become a Descendant and got even stronger.

Luna
As said, Luna made their way into The First Descendant post-launch, on July 31. This unique Descendant is a musician who uses tunes to buff herself and her allies, giving players one more supportive option.
Sharen
Sharen has one of the most tragic stories of all The First Descendant characters as The Vulgus almost entirely mutilated her body in an assault. However, Sharen remained alive thanks to her new cyborg body, which also deals a bunch of damage.
Valby
Thanks to her Arche, Valby is a real menace on the water. You’ll realize when playing with her, that her skill kit is quite unique.
Viessa
The only official Debuffer in The First Descendant is Viessa, who opted to join the Descendant Corps rather than go to prison. This character manipulates Chill to freeze enemies, helping out the party. Viessa is also one of the three starting characters, and although she deals less damage, she’s not bad at all.
Yujin
Yujin is an ideal character for a party of four players due to his supportive ability to heal allies with drones. Unsurprisingly, he worked as a doctor before joining the Descendant Corps.
All Ultimate characters in The First Descendant
Ultimate are powerful versions of existing characters in The First Descendant and they also have a special skin. There are six of them as of now, but NEXON will add more later on.
