Best Enzo build in The First Descendant: Skills, Weapons, Reactor & Modules

BEST BUILD ENZO

Serving as a vital support character in The First Descendant, Enzo is an asset to any team. But only if you build him correctly with the right skills and weapons.

There are tons of characters to choose from in The First Descendant, and if you’ve got past the relatively impressive starter roster, then you’re likely looking for a change-up. This is where Enzo comes in, as the resident powerful support, whose primary job is to help his team take down those enemies and bosses with ease.

Enzo is currently sitting in C-tier in our tier list of best characters, which means he isn’t the best of the bunch. However, with the best build this Descendant can truly shine.

Enzo is a great support Descendant, but he needs the right build to thrive.

Best Enzo Skills

So, here are the three best abilities we recommend using for Enzo:

  1. Start Supply is one of the first skills you want to release in The First Descendant. It’ll grant you and your allies more bullets and keep you fighting for much longer. It’ll be a blessing in disguise against tons of enemies or a boss.
  2. Shoot Support is the next skill you should activate as Enzo. It increases their ammo capacity, meaning they can benefit more from Start Supply. You can also increase your rewards, which no one will complain about.
  3. Lastly, it’s worth using Explosive Drone while in combat. This can be stacked and deals some great AoE damage, ensuring you’re part of the enemy destruction too. However, if you don’t want to deal too much damage and prefer support, we suggest choosing Perfect Support instead.

All Enzo Skills

Below are the five available skills for Enzo in The First Descendant:

  • Enhance Combat Suit: Summons a Shield Recovery Comms. When the Shield Recovery Comms is first summoned, recovers Enzo’s Energy Shield by a certain amount, then continues to recover the Energy Shield through Enhance Combat Suit effect.
  • Explosive Drone: Launches an Explosive Drone forward. The Explosive Drone explodes on contact with an enemy or a terrain object, dealing damage.
  • Perfect Support: Summons a Small Supply Ship to himself and his allies. The Small Supply Ship periodically provides Supply Bullets and grants Perfect Support to allies. The Small Supply Ship attacks enemies in front while it is active, and when the skill ends, it fires a missile forward that causes a big explosion at its destination
  • Shoot Support (passive): Grants Fire Support to allies within an area around Enzo, increasing their max ammo capacity. Efficiency increases when Enzo disarms the security of the Encrypted Vault, and rewards increase when this happens.
  • Start Supply: Summons a Bullet Supplying Device at the designated location. Supplies bullets to allies that approach the Device.

Best Weapons for Enzo

The best weapons for Enzo to use are:

The best weapon for Enzo is undeniably the Smithereens Shotgun as damage isn’t at the forefront of his skillset so a powerful gun like this makes up for that.

Smithereens is an ideal weapon for Enzo.

Its Unique Ability, which will guarantee critical hits is particularly useful:

  • Fearlessness: On hitting the enemy with all fired bullets, increases the Firearm Critical Hit Rate and Firearm Critical Hit Damage of the attack. Upon landing a Critical Hit on an enemy, grants the Firearm’s unique ability Amplification.

Aside from the shotgun, we’d also suggest trying out Nazeistra’s Devotion and Thunder Cage with Enzo as they’re some of the best weapons in the game.

Best Reactor

Since Enzo doesn’t really focus on any particular elements for his damage, you’ll want to focus on Non-Attribute damage.

As such, we suggest choosing the following reactors:

  • Materialized Singularity: Boost to Non-Attribute and Singular type
  • Materialized Phase: Boost to Non-Attribute and Dimension type

Best Modules for Enzo

Enzo The First Descendant
Reinforce Front Line is a fantastic Module for Enzo and shouldn’t be missed.

Increasing Enzo’s survivability and skills are vital for this build. Since he’s a support character, you need to stay alive and use those skills to help your teammates. As such, Skill Extension and Skill Expansion are vital, as well as Increase Shield and Skill Cost Optimize.

However, where these modules really stand out is through Reinforce Front Line, which will fantastically buff your party’s ATK.

Best External Components

The ideal External Components for the best Enzo build in The First Descendant lie within the Annihilation Set. Just because you’re a support, it doesn’t mean you can’t deal a little bit of damage. The Annihilation Set is perfect for this, while also increasing your Skill Duration.

We recommend actively aiming to take damage until your health gets to 50%, then using your Enhance Combat Suit to maximize your ATK damage.

On top of this, it’s worth looking out for the following External Components, if the full Annihilation Set is eluding you:

  • Max Shield
  • Max HP
  • HP Recovery
  • DEF

These aren’t the best for Enzo, but will improve his survivability while you grab the Annihilation Set, so they’re worth focusing on in the meantime.
