In the new loot shooter “The First Descendant,” two characters harmonize perfectly together and are like sword and shield in battle.
Which shooter is it about? On July 2nd, a new loot shooter called The First Descendant launched on Steam. The title from Nexon combines third-person shooter gameplay with 14 different playable classes, each possessing their own abilities.
The First Descendant can be played cooperatively with up to 4 players. The game principle is simple: You loot and level up, endlessly farm materials, and send evil aliens to their demise.

A dynamic typical of MMORPGs
What kind of dynamic is it? The 14 different characters you can play in The First Descendant all have their own play style and a corresponding role within a team. The descendant “Yujin” is, for example, a supporter and can heal team members, while “Freyna,” the mistress of poisons, acts as a damage dealer.
In the early days of the loot shooter, especially the players of two descendants demonstrate what this dynamic can look like in practice: Ajax and Bunny.
- Bunny is a damage dealer and deals enormous damage with her electric attacks. She is perfectly suited for eliminating groups of smaller enemies with her fast movement, but she has low health points and lacks defensive stats.
- Ajax is a tank, equipped with more health points and higher defense corresponding to his role. Instead of offensive abilities like Bunny, Ajax excels in defensive skills. He can create shields that protect him and his allies from incoming damage. Additionally, he looks like a powerful warrior.
Ajax is one of the three starting classes and is still frequently encountered in the world of The First Descendant even days after the release. He is currently one of the most popular characters. Bunny is not a starting class but can be obtained relatively early in the course of the campaign. She is also very popular at the moment – not least due to a special skin that could earn the developers a lot of money.
How is this dynamic expressed? Bunny is a glass cannon. While she deals a tremendous amount of damage, she is quite fragile under enemy fire. This means Bunny players can fall quickly if they are not paying attention for a moment. They then rely on the help of other descendants.
This role is currently taken mainly by the Ajax players. Several users report on social networks that they like to rush to help Bunny players as Ajax. “Kyeithel” writes on Reddit: “It is my fate to help fallen Bunnies,” and “dtb301” writes on Reddit: “I love protecting my squishy friends.”
Ajax has the necessary defensive stats to survive a revival and can protect himself during it with his dome shield. Bunny, in turn, takes care of eliminating the enemies, especially the adds.
