UPDATED BEST BUNNY BUILD! (400% Dungeons, Deathstalker, Mobbing)
In The First Descendant, Bunny is one of the most versatile and popular characters, with great potential for both mobbing and bossing, particularly in the 400% dungeons. With the addition of new mods, players are now able to maximize her damage output, balance crit and non-crit builds, and adapt her for different scenarios. This article will break down the updated Bunny build, focusing on her optimal performance in 400% dungeons, general use, and specialized encounters like the Deathstalker fight.
Understanding Bunny’s Build in the 400% Dungeons
The 400% dungeons in The First Descendant offer extreme density of mobs, making it essential for Bunny to adapt her build for maximum efficiency. The core aspect of this build revolves around selecting the right mods to ensure both strong area-of-effect (AoE) damage and survival.
Core Transcendent Module: Electrical Condense
Previously, many players, including the guide’s creator, Maxer, relied on the High Voltage module for Bunny. While it provided cooldown reduction, damage, and range, it was not optimal for high-mob concentration in 400% dungeons due to its limited range. Replacing High Voltage with Electrical Condense offers several advantages:
- Restores Bunny’s third skill, R3, back to its large AoE, which can hit more enemies.
- Provides a burst of damage, perfect for nuking bosses.
- Increases sprint speed by 20%, enabling quicker movement between mobs.
Mod Selection for 400% Dungeons
- HP and Range Mods: Start with HP amplification or increased HP for survivability. Range mods such as Skill Expansion and Maximized Range ensure Bunny hits the maximum number of enemies, optimizing AoE efficiency.
- Skill Conservation: Using Maximized Conservation ensures that Bunny maintains her electricity throughout boss fights, enabling continuous damage output and faster clears.
Damage Mods
Bunny’s damage output can be significantly enhanced by selecting the right damage mods:
- Singular Amplification: Boosts damage for her third ability by increasing the singular power modifier.
- Electrical Amplification: Increases electrical skill power, ensuring Bunny dishes out powerful hits.
Diminishing Returns on Damage Mods
It’s crucial to spread damage across different modifiers to avoid diminishing returns. For example, while Focus on Electric might seem beneficial with a 77% boost in electric skill power, adding too much of a single modifier can lead to less overall effectiveness. Instead, players should opt for Power Increase mods, which provide a new damage multiplier, spreading Bunny’s damage across multiple sources.
Testing Results: When comparing builds with Focus on Electric versus Power Increase, the latter resulted in a significant increase in overall damage (177%). This highlights the importance of spreading out Bunny’s damage modifiers.
Additional Mod: Decimator
In the 400% dungeon build, Decimator proves to be an excellent choice. While it’s ineffective with High Voltage (due to one-shot kills), in dungeons with higher mob density, it shines. It works by applying a debuff every time Bunny’s third skill hits, leading to increased damage output through multipliers.
Final Mod: Nimble
To maintain uptime on Bunny’s third ability, Nimble is added to ensure a perfect loop, providing a 20-second cooldown and 21-second duration. For those prioritizing speed, Skill Extension can be an alternative, though it may break the cooldown loop without proper gear adjustments.
General Use Build for Bunny
For daily gameplay, Bunny’s general use build is slightly more simplified compared to her dungeon build. This version balances mobbing and versatility across different modes without losing too much effectiveness.
Core Mod Setup for General Play
- HP and Range Mods: Similar to the dungeon build, maximizing range and HP is key.
- Mana Regeneration: MP Collector and Maximized Conservation allow Bunny to sustain her mana, an essential component in general mobbing where she is constantly killing enemies and generating mana orbs.
- Damage Mods: As with the dungeon build, Bunny benefits from Power Increase and Singular Amplification to maximize her damage.
Non-Crit vs. Crit Builds
Bunny’s general use build offers flexibility between non-crit and crit playstyles. After extensive testing:
- Non-Crit Build: Outperforms the crit build by about 6% when focusing on Singular Amplification and Power Increase. Moreover, the non-crit build offers an extra open mod slot, allowing for more customization.
- Crit Build: While viable, crit builds tend to result in lower overall damage due to the inherent randomness of crits and the diminishing returns from crit modifiers.
Customizable Mod Slot
The remaining mod slot in the non-crit build is entirely up to player preference. Popular options include:
- Dangerous Ambush: Provides significant extra damage, especially in mobbing scenarios where enemies are often around corners or walls.
- HP Mods: For players who prefer more survivability, adding an HP mod can give Bunny a tankier feel.
- Defensive Mods: For example, Spear and Shield can provide extra defense without compromising too much damage.
Deathstalker Bunny Build: A Supportive Role
While Bunny isn’t the best choice for boss fights like the Deathstalker, she can provide excellent support to her team, particularly when it comes to clearing dangerous skull mobs.
Key Features of the Deathstalker Build
- Survivability: The goal is to keep Bunny alive and ensure her team’s safety by using Overwhelming Shield. This mod locks Bunny’s HP at 1, but boosts her shield based on her max HP.
- Shield Mods: Biosync Shield and Shield Recovery Modifier allow Bunny to recover shields efficiently by converting HP orb pickups into shields, making her nearly unkillable in high mob-density scenarios.
- Damage Focus: Unlike her other builds, Bunny is not focusing on direct DPS to the boss. Instead, she is clearing out mobs and preventing team wipes from Deathstalker’s AoE attacks.
Toxic Resistance
To further protect against Deathstalker’s deadly toxic attacks, players should stack Toxic Resistance on their reactor and gear.
Conclusion: The Future of Bunny Builds
With the latest updates to The First Descendant, Bunny has become even more versatile, capable of excelling in a wide range of scenarios. Whether you’re tackling the dense 400% dungeons, running through general mobbing missions, or supporting your team in the Deathstalker fight, there’s an optimal Bunny build for every situation.
The key to mastering Bunny lies in mod management, understanding diminishing returns, and knowing when to switch between crit and non-crit setups. With the right setup, Bunny can become one of the most powerful descendants in The First Descendant, capable of both solo domination and crucial team support.
