The First Descendant: Best Hailey Build (Weapons, Module, & Abilities)

Hailey is the newest playable character in , and she has a great range of DPS abilities. Her abilities are slightly different than anyone else’s, and she has a strong Chill attribute that can let her stack Cryo status effects. This can make her a great Descendant for players who like to stay at a distance from a boss and can take down enemies from afar.

There are more and more characters in , making it hard to decide which one you like the best. However, it is always a lot of fun to explore new things when they come out and figure out an excellent build for them. To that end, Hailey wants a fairly specific build, which is outlined in the rest of this guide.

Hailey has very strong skills that make herone of the best firearm specialists in the game. She can also do a lot of Cryo damage. As she is also best at ranged, she can do a lot of work from the back lines without breaking a sweat. However, she is not hard to grind, but she does take a long time to unlock, so be aware of that fact.

The First Descendant has many crafting materials you can farm, including the rare Heat Plasma Battery, an important resource for many item recipes.

Her passive skill is called Safe Strategic Retreat, which causes more damage the further you are away from the target, starting at around 25m. That is the biggest reason you want to be further away. But her other skills are just as important.
