The First Descendant Quick Guide to Kyle Mage Build

Kyle Mage Build Guide

By Piplexi.

This is my Kyle build, the playstyle revolves around using skills most of the time instead of shooting, its a burst oriented build with high dmg, low cooldowns and able to facetank hardbosses.

Overview:

• It runs super low hp, you should rarely lose your shield since your 3rd ability tanks more the more shield you have.
• You should ult everytime the cd is up on collosus for optimal dmg.
• Make sure to land a shoulder charge and activate your 3rd ability as soon as your ult hits since this is the time where you are most vulnerable to dmg.
• Transcendant mod is not needed for mobbing build, its more personal preference and note that you will take more dmg from mobs since it drains your energy fast, so run it at your own risk.
• Always cancel your reload animation with your shoulder charge.
• Only use 2nd ability while reviving a teammate, not worth it to use on combat.
• Skill Crit is thrash on Kyle since he has only 5% base crit.

Components and Reactor:

Balance your components so that you reach 40-50k def with shoulder charge (it gives 150% def on use), after that go full max shield and better if you get shield recovery in combat aswell.

For component sets, aim for either 2 piece Bravery which gives 11% max shield or 4 piece Slayer which gives 26.1% skill power AND has a great interaction with the mobbing build because the transcendant mod inflicts towed on enemies while pulling them and the set has a chance to recover specialized resource on enemy kill inflicted with towed.

For Reactor, aim for a Materialized Mechanics Reactor with your weap of choice (yes you need to run a leg weap for this build since its skill dmg based, sorry tamer mains), aim for tech boost, non-attribute boost and skill cooldown.

Weapons:

Right now im running Thunder Cage because its easy to animation cancel the reload with shoulder charge and it does good dmg to mobs/bosses

However im farming to get the the Secret Garden which looks like its the perfect weap for this build, it recovers custom resource with dimension skills (your 2nd and 3rd skill) and gives firearm/skill power that stacks on tech skill uses (we spam shoulder charge so it will always proc)

Update to colossus build, 10% dmg reduc is stronger than defense on shield builds, since after my testing defense reduces less dmg to shields than it does to hp (it does reduce some dmg but not enough) also the ambush perk is gigabroken, 50% more ult dmg whern attacking downed colossus, and 26% if they focus someone else.

That concludes the guide, hope you found it helpful!
