The First Descendant Enduring Legacy – How to Get and Best Build

Enduring Legacy is an Ultimate Weapon in The First Descendant, especially popular with fire-using Descendants. This Machine Gun reduces the target’s Fire Resistance with each hit, and, it deals increased damage when shooting at Burning enemies. Unfortunately, researching it requires you to fight some tough bosses, so beginner players will have to level up considerably before getting their hands on this firearm. So, on that topic, we have included a guide on how to get the Enduring Legacy Ultimate weapon and what is the best build for it.

Best Build for Enduring Legacy in The First Descendant

Machine Guns are notorious for having a large magazine, so one of the best Weapon Modules for Enduring Legacy is Mental Focus, which increases the firearm ATK with every shot but reduces the Fire Rate. On that note, we have increased the Magazine capacity even further, improved the general ATK and Critical Hit stats, and increased the Fire Rate (to balance out the Mental Focus penalty). Note that you can switch one module (in the Amaldine socket) for Fire Enhancement if you want some additional Fire ATK. Here’s our best build for Enduring Legacy, but bear in mind that best builds are subjective, and your experience and impressions might differ from ours. 

Concentration Priority	Increases weapon’s Critical Hit Damage and Reload Time
Concentrate Support Ammo	Increases weapon’s Magazine capacity and Critical Hit Damage
Fire Rate Up	Increases weapon’s Fire Rate
Mental Focus	Reduces the weapon’s Fire Rate but grants a stackable ATK increase with every shot
Rifling Reinforcement	Increases weapon’s ATK
Insight Focus	Increases weapon’s Critical Hit Rate and Critical Hit Damage
Expand Weapon Charge	Increases weapon’s magazine size
Action and Reaction	Increases both the weapon’s Firearm ATK and Recoil
Better Concentration	Increases weapon’s Critical Hit Damage
Better Insight	Increases weapon’s Critical Hit Rate

Enduring Legacy is almost a mandatory choice for Fire Arche Descendants (like Blair, Esiemo, and Lepic). But having one for your more team-oriented characters (like Ajax, Enzo, Yujin, and Jayber) is also great, to help out the Fire Descendants on your team.
