Bunny is one of the fastest characters in The First Descendant, meaning enemies will have a tough time tracking you down. Here’s the best Bunny build you can use with the right skills, weapons, modules, and more.

The First Descendant has a plethora of characters to choose from. Bunny can deal a lot of damage thanks to her speed, and the electrical energy she harnesses.

She’s sitting in S-tier of our tier list, and she’s the best mob clearer in the game once you’ve got the right build. If you’re looking to speedrun through The First Descendant’s missions faster than any other character, Bunny’s your best option.

Best Bunny Skills

Lightning Emission is the best skill for Bunny, as it grants Electrocution. The perk debuffs enemies, which is very crucial when they come in a horde and deal continuous damage at 1-second intervals.

The Lightning Emission skill lasts for 20 seconds and unlocks when Bunny reaches Level 5. Combined with Speed of Light, Bunny can quickly clear mobs without a second thought. This combo is what makes her an undisputed S-tier.

All Bunny Skills

Here are all the available skills that Bunny can use:

  • Rabbit Foot (Passive) – Builds up Electricity charge while moving. Once Bunny stops, the accumulated Electricity can be used to deal damage to nearby enemies when landing a Double Jump.
  • Thrill Bomb – Spawns a Bomb that damages a nearby enemy. This damage increases depending on how much electric energy Bunny has gathered from running.
  • Speed of Light – Increases Sprint Speed and lets Bunny continuously run while active
  • Lightning Emission – Deals damage to enemies when moving. This damage increases depending on how much electric energy Bunny has gathered from running.
  • Maximum Power – Blast Electricity in front of Bunny, dealing damage to enemies that are in her path. This damage increases depending on how much electric energy Bunny has gathered from running and ends when the Electricity runs out.

Best Weapons for Bunny

These are the best weapons for Bunny to use in The First Descendant:

  • Thunder Cage (SMG)
  • Nightmare Reaper (Sniper Rifle)
  • Tamer (Machine Gun)

The Thunder Cage and Nightmare Reaper are ultimate weapons. The Thunder Cage SMG emits electric shockwaves while the Nightmare Reaper Sniper Rifle upon hitting the weak point of an enemy activates Death Propagation.

The Tamer Machine Gun is also particularly effective against bosses in the game.

Best Reactor to use with Bunny

For Bunny, you’ll want a Tingling Mixture Reactor. Though her bread and butter skills get Singular scaling, you’ll want a Fusion reactor. Speed of Light will kill most mobs in one or two hits, anyways, so you’ll want that bonus Fusion damage for bosses and tougher enemies.

Farm for a reactor that’s got a weapon you actually use, especially if you can swing an Ultimate reactor that matches up with something like Thunder Cage. That 160% bonus skill damage is nice to have.

Best Modules for Bunny

The key factor you must remember here is placing the mods in the Socket that aligns with their Module Socket Type and Class. This will reduce the Module Capacity Cost significantly, allowing you to place powerful and expensive mods easily.

You can also use Crystallization Catalysts to add Module Sockets to your loadout, enabling you to really maximize your efficiency and start optimizing toward a build that gets all the essential modules in.

Best External Components for Bunny

In Bunny’s build, the best External Components are those with stats like Max Shield, Max HP, HP Recovery, and DEF.

Getting the right components boils down to the fact how lucky you are. The First Descendant being a looter shooter means you’ll need to spend time finding External Components with good stats.
