I will grind for her
– Ultimate Freyna makes the community hearts soar
What is the highlight for players? Particularly captivating for the players of The First Descendant is the new Ultimate Freyna. The subreddit for the game is currently full of posts where players enthusiastically celebrate the new design.
In her ultimate version, Freyna has long white hair styled in a braid. She is equipped with shoulder and leg armor as well as a helmet, but is otherwise very revealing: her top is backless and just covers the most important areas of her upper body.
What are Ultimate characters?
Ultimate versions of characters are enhanced versions of the base characters. They have higher stats, become stronger at higher levels, and can take on much more powerful enemies. They are needed for, among other things, the tough Void Intercept bosses.
This is what players say about the design:
I had put Freyna aside and was waiting for her ult/buffs and a good skin that I could use for her when the time finally came. And my God, they knocked it out of the park with the new skin.

– Galrath91 via redditI will grind for her, no matter the cost, but I will definitely not miss out on this skin

Under the video on YouTube, it looks very similar. @justinschnoor9459 links the 00:00 timestamp where the skin first appears and suggests that the developers know their players very well. Andretx5 praises that Korea is making games beautiful again.
Is there also criticism or wishes from the community? While a large part of the players celebrates Ultimate Freyna, others are expressing wishes and hopes for the future of the game.
NewFaded on reddit writes, for example, that he hopes for better environmental content. In the same post, okamanii101 (via reddit) notes that there needs to be a more exciting endgame than farming outposts.
In the comments under the trailer on YouTube, there’s also a request from @JerBuster77 to make the visors of the ultimate versions removable. With the visor, the introductions of the characters look funny. Suzemebachi3732 also hopes for versions of the ultimate skins without the helmet.
In fact, Freyna is already a pretty strong damage dealer in her base version. To make your opponents fear her, we have a build for her here: The First Descendant Freyna Build: This is how you melt bosses in hard mode
