Bunny in The First Descendant

Bunny is the second character you’ll get to unlock in The First Descendant, and she’s quickly becoming a fan-favorite choice. 

Here’s everything you need to know about the best weapons, Modules, and more to use with her to creat the ideal build, including how her abilities work and what you need to unlock her.

10Conservation MaximizationMassively reduces skill cost and Skill Power Modifier
11Nimble FingersReduces skill cooldown
12Electric SynctiumAdds Electric Skill Boost Ratio Bonus

Bunny’s weakness is that she has low defenses while having to move around at close range to have any effect, so you’re going to want to prioritize using Modules like Increased HP and Increased DEF to help with this issue.

Additionally, giving her skill attacks more power with Electric Master and Electric Specialist makes sure that you can capitalize on her strengths, which is going in and doing high AoE damage to enemies.

Reactors

When using Reactors with Bunny in The First Descendant, you’re going to want to focus on any that boost Electric, Singular, and Fusion.

Bunny’s attribute is Electric, and her skills use a mix of Singular and Fusion damage. As such, it’s best to choose Reactors like Tingling Singularity and Tingling Mixture, both of which boost Electric and/or Singular and Fusion.

Alternatively, you can also use the Tingling Mechanics Reactor which increases Electric Skill Power Boost Ratio and Tech Skill Power Boost Ratio.

External Components

The best External Components to use with Bunny in The First Descendant boost Shields, HP, HP Recovery, and Defense. 

Bunny is largely focused on DPS, so her base stats for Shields and HP are not the strongest. External Components are a later-game addition to your character build, and as such, you’ll want to make sure you can survive the bigger boss fights you’ll encounter. 

External Components are also largely RNG-based, so you’ll have to put in a lot of game time to find the combination that will give you the best stat boosts. 

Weapons

Bunny performs best in The First Descendant with the Thunder Cage SMG, Blue Beetle Scout Rifle, and Executor Shotgun

Thunder Cage

  • ATK: 18
  • Fire rate: 666
  • Reload Speed: 1.4 seconds
  • Effective Range: 23m
  • Overcharge: Defeating an enemy prompts that enemy to unleash electric shockwave, dealing firearm ATK to nearby enemies within 3m.
Thunder Cage SMG in The First Descendant
The Thunder Cage is a strong SMG choice for Bunny.

Thunder Cage is a solid option for Bunny, especially as a primary weapon, because it links with her abilities incredibly well. Bunny’s gameplay is all about fast-paced attacks, and the quick reload speed and fire rate of this SMG fit in with that playstyle. 

Blue Beetle

  • ATK: 62
  • Fire Rate: 199
  • Reload Speed: 2 seconds
  • Effective Range: 35m
  • Arcane Wave: when using a Fusion skill, grants self the unique arcane energy with a set chance. When using a Singular skill, grants self the unique ability purification with a set chance.
Blue Beetle in The First Descendant
The Blue Beetle can give an extra kick to Fusion and Singularity skills.

The Blue Beetle Scout Rifle gives Bunny some range without having to commit to something heavy like a Sniper Rifle. This weapon is especially good for her because of its Arcane Wave special ability, which meshes well with Bunny’s Fusion and Singular skills. 

Executor

  • ATK: 15
  • Fire Rate: 109
  • Reload Speed: 1.65 seconds
  • Effective Range: 9m
  • Impending Judgement: Hitting enemies will all bullets grants Executor’s Exaltation. Highest stage increases Firearm ATK on hit and inflicts Electrocution on the target enemy. On hitting an Electrocuted enemy, increase Firearm ATK and apply this buff to the attack.
Executor in The First Descendant
The Executor goes well will Bunny’s Electric and close-range playstyle.

Having a Shotgun is pretty much a must for the Bunny playstyle, and Impending Judgement flows well with her own abilities to Electrocute enemies. The Executor doesn’t come with the highest damage, but its special ability is definitely what you’re using it for here.

Bunny abilities explained

Bunny is a DPS-focused character in The First Descendant who uses electric attacks to damage and stun enemies. Here are all her abilities:

  • Rabbit Foot (Passive): Charge electricity by moving around. Landing on the ground after a double jump inflicts damage to nearby enemies.
  • Thrill Bomb: Summons an Electro Orb that attacks and Electrocutes nearby enemies.
  • Light Speeding: Increases sprint speed and the amount of Electricity generated.
  • Lightning Emission: Moving around deals damage to nearby enemies and inflicts them with an Electrocute effect.
  • Maximum Power: Shoot out electricity to inflict damage. Damage increases in proportion to skill duration.

Bunny’s skills give her the ability to get in and out of fights quickly. Lightning Emissions and Light Speeding flow well together to do damage to enemies with electricity, and is exactly the kind of reason we suggested weapons like Executor Shotgun. 

Her passive ability, Rabbit Foot, means that you’ll want to move around as much as you can to make effective use of her other skills. 

How to unlock Bunny

You can unlock Bunny in The First Descendant by completing the main quest and collecting all the parts you need to research her.

Once you reach Albion, you’ll get the Bunny Crafting Training quest, which will direct you to all the areas you need to go to collect her components. Essentially, you’ll need to complete all main missions in the Kingston area, upgrade one mod, and complete one Void Intercept Battle.

Like all other Descendants, you can also purchase Bunny from the store for 300 Caliber. Our builds are evolving as we play the game more, so be sure to check back later for any updates.
