The First Descendant Ajax Best Active Skills

Ajax is a Tank and Support character in The First Descendant, and he has a lot of crowd-control features. However, keep in mind that he relies heavily on using his skills in conjunction with each other. He has only one Passive Skill, so there's really not much to choose from in that regard. Here is a list of all of Ajax's Active Skills.

Active Skills

Orbit Barrier

 

Orbit Barrier

  • Creates a shield in front of Aax. Durability increases proportionality to Ajax's HP and DEF.
Hypercube

 

Hypercube

  • Creates a dome-shaped shield. Durability increases proportionality to Ajax's HP and DEF.
Void Walk

 

Void Walk

  • Leaps into the air and lands on the ground to strike nearby enemies, stunning them.
Expulsion

Expulsion

  • Strikes nearby enemies and knocks them back.

Without a doubt, the best Active Skill that Ajax has is Hypercube, which spawns a shield around the character, allowing allies to take advantage of it as well. Although the durability of the shield depends on Ajax's health, it is extremely useful when there are too many enemies around. Moreover, the enhanced version of the skill can reflect incoming damage back to the opponent who fired the bullet.

There are so many weapons available in The First Descendant that choosing one can definitely turn into an overwhelming task. Although it can be difficult to determine which weapon is generally the best one in the game, the process can become far less complicated when we are choosing our weapon based on the character. We have prepared the three best weapons that Ajax can use in the game.

Best Weapons

Python Instinct

Secret Garden

Albion Cavalry

 

Albion Cavalry

It's important to note that the Albion Cavalry Gun fits Ajax exceptionally well since it grants additional damage against enemies who are stunned. The Secret Garden is also a great choice, as its effectiveness improves after each use. The Python is a very high DPS weapon that can help the entire team by debuffing the enemy whose weak spots it hits.

The First Descendant Ajax Best Reactors

Reactors are an interesting feature in The First Descendant, and they are powerful items that can influence your efficiency and overall combat performance. Be aware of the barrier skills that each character has when you are choosing which reactors to use.

Ajax's skills are Dimensional and Tech, which means that the big area to pursue in this case is Skill Power with Sub Attack Power. When you combine those stat boosts, you will help Ajax unleash more of his potential because he often relies on skills over weapons.

The First Descendant Ajax Modules

Modules are items that can enhance a character's Descendant and Weapon stats, and they can be equipped for both, respectively. The best Modules available to Ajax in The First Descendant are the following:

  • Shield Conversion
  • Matrix Recomputation
  • Overwhelming Shield
  • Tech Specialist
  • Increased Shield
  • Increased HP
  • Skill Expansion

Although all of these can benefit Ajax, Matrix Recomputation and Tech Specialist are the two modules that stand out most. The latter adds more power to the Void Walker and Expulsion offensive skills, and Matrix Recomputation modifies Expulsion to grant a buff that helps allies survive.

The First Descendant Ajax Best External Components

Although there are many factors that we need to consider when we want to create the best build for Ajax, we shouldn't forget about the External Components. This is one of the most grindy areas in The First Descendant, with a large portion of its potential depending on RNG. The ones that are the most appropriate for Ajax will boost Max HP, Max Shield, and DEF.

You will probably have to go through a lot to get the one you want. Many players agree that Components are definitely the most looter-shooter element of the game. Have fun and good luck on your next adventure. For more information about The First Descendant, you can check out this article.
