If you\u2019re wondering which one you should choose and if you can change your mind later, you\u2019ve come to the right place. Here's the best starting character in The First Descendant. All starting characters in The First Descendant Here are the three starting characters in The First Descendant: Ajax Ajax is the tanky starting character. He has increased health and uses shields to block and return incoming fire. Ajax is very similar to the Titan from Destiny 2. If you like diving headfirst into battle and protecting your teammates, this is the Descendant for you. Lepic Lepic reminds us of Soldier 76 from Overwatch 2. He's an all-around well-balanced character who focuses on dealing the most damage. He can temporarily increase his damage output and can throw grenades. If you just want to shoot things and enjoy watching damage numbers go up, Lepic is the Descendant for you. Viessa Viessa is a support character. She uses her Ice abilities to stun and damage enemies. While physically weaker than the other two characters, she can be a valuable ally and a devastating force on the battlefield. If you like to play the game by your own rules, Viessa is the Descendant for you. The best starting character in The First Descendant If you can\u2019t make up your mind about which character to play, we suggest Lepic. No matter who you play as in The First Descendant, you will need to shoot enemies and do damage, and that\u2019s something Lepic does really well. Even if you pick Lepic and decide you don\u2019t like him, you can build or buy a new Descendant. Yes, it\u2019s that simple, and it\u2019s one of the main attractions of games like The First Descendant.","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/the-first-descendant-technical-test-date-time-guide-character-1-e1715261614902.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1276720"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2382"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1276720"}],"version-history":[{"count":10,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1276720\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1276748,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1276720\/revisions\/1276748"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1223955"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1276720"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1276720"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1276720"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=1276720"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=1276720"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=1276720"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=1276720"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
