Now, let’s take a look at the best build for Viessa in The First Descendant!

The First Descendant Viessa Build

• A little more time is needed in the game to work out the best build for Viessa – please check back soon!

However, I can say that utilising modules, components, weapons, and a Reactor is the mainframe of a character build. As Viessa mainly focuses on damage, it’s best to give her equipment that increases her overall damage.

While Frost Road increases her Shield and Running Speed for a period of time, you could also equip her with gear that can slightly enhance these stats to increase the power of the Frost Road active skill.
