"Descendants are superhuman beings who are physically strong enough to handle the Vulgus alone; a team of Descendants can even defeat a Colossus."
"Thanks to the Magisters' technology, Descendants are reviving hope for humanity across the continent. Yet, humans are still exposed to many great dangers."

Descendants

Normal Descendants are displayed in-game with a blue background.

Ultimate Descendants

Ultimate Descendants are displayed in-game with a golden background.

Ultimate Descendants are empowered versions of Descendants, sporting minor increases to defensive stats, a unique appearance and gaining access to Ultimate-specific Skill Modules on top of the Skill Modules available to their base version.

Just like regular Descendants, more Ultimate Descendants will be added to the game over time.

Acquisition

When players first start the game, they will get to choose their starter Descendant, getting to choose between Ajax, Lepic and Viessa.

Any Descendant not already owned, including the two Descendants not chosen at the start of the game, will be available as Research by providing the required materials, or from the Store by spending Caliber.

Ultimate Descendants can be obtained either through the Research process by providing the required materials, just like normal Descendants, or through purchasing one of the available bundles in the Store with Caliber.

Stats & Gameplay

Each Descendant has unique Abilities and their own set of stats, which differ from one another. These stats can be increased or decreased by slotting the Descendant with Modules.

The stat chart as displayed on the Descendant selection screen.
Max HP

A Descendant's max hit points. A higher total HP will affect how much damage the Descendant can take before going down.

DEF

A Descendant's Defense, providing damage reduction to both Health and Shields.

Max Shield

A Descendant's max Shield. Shield provides a barrier that absorbs damage before HP, automatically regenerating outside of combat and after a period of not taking damage.

Shield Recovery When Out Of Combat

The speed at which Shield regenerates while not in combat.

Max MP

A Descendant's max Mana. Increasing MP will affect how many abilities can be used. MP can be regenerated by picking up MP Orbs dropped by enemies.

Skill Power

Affects how much damage is inflicted by the Descendant's abilities. Reactor is the main source of Skill Power and increased by Modules. Every Skill has an attribute (like Electric) and Arche type (like Tech) associated with it. Only Skill Power of the matching type will affect the skill's damage. Different sources of Skill Power stack multiplicatively.

Skill Power Modifier

Determines how much Skill Power contributes to specific ability's damage. In the Skill description like Skill Power x 27%, the number 27% is the Skill Power Modifier. Skill Power Modifier is increased by Modules and added to the skill's base modifier. Only Skill Power Modifier of the matching type will affect the skill's damage.
