If you are an Ajax main, I don’t need to waste time explaining how great of a character he is. With this build, your Ajax will only become more effective at what he is already so good at in The First Descendant: being an absolute war machine.

How to unlock Ajax in The First Descendant
If you didn’t choose Ajax asyour starting characterin The First Descendant, I feel bad for you, son. However, if you’re now playing and have decided you want a bit of the Ajax action, there aretwo ways you can unlock him.
The first method is to simplypay for him with premium currency. However, if you want to unlock him through gameplay, follow these steps.
First, you need tohead to Magister Anaislocated on the southwest of the main hub area in the game. From here, you’re able to begin the task ofcollecting the materials needed for Ajaxin The First Descendant.These materialsare as follows:
Enhanced cell parts
Stabilizer Part
Spiral Catalyst Part
By beginning this quest,you will be guided through the stepsrequired to unlock Ajax in The First Descendant. The trickiest part in my opinion isgetting the Ajax Codethrough Amorphous Material Patterns. Once you have everything you need, return to Magister Anais and pay the 400,000 gold to unlock him.
Ajax playstyle and skills explained
Ajax isthe tank of the gamein every First Descendant build. He is focused on heavy defense for himself and reflecting shots back at enemies. He is a great standalone character and a benefit to any squad. Ajax provides defense through shielding, applying stun, and building his void energy.
To play Ajax,use his area of effect attacks, such as Expulsion and Void Walk, to knock enemies back. Once you have made some space, Orbit Barrier and Hyper Cube will provide the defensive wall needed to gain back health and throw dome bullets around.

Best Ajax Build in The First Descendant
Putting together your Ajax build properly in The First Descendant will be the difference between him being good and great. With the right modules and accessories,Ajax can become an unstoppable force on the playing field.
Best Ajax Modules
As with every build in The First Descendant, you want tolook for the highest-level modulesyou can get. These are the ones I recommend for Ajax, but they work for my play style. I am working on building on what Ajax is already good at, which is defense.
Best Ajax Reactor Stats and External Components
When choosing a Reactor for your Ajax build in The First Descendant, I suggest going for something that works with his skills and tech. So, if you want a good reactor for Ajax,look for the Materialised Mechanics Reactor, which can be farmed from the Sterile Land Large Nuclear Reactor mission. This is also a great place tofarm for Kuiper Shards, too.
As for components, I would suggestthe Annihilation set. This can be farmed bydefeating the Devourerin The First Descendant. Once you understand how this boss works, you can blast through the fight in no time.
The reason I choose to have the full Annihilation set is for the bonuses that come along with it. By having two of the set, Ajax gainsa plus to his skill duration. However, having the full four set actuallyboosts firearm damagedepending on how much HP is lost. Ajax can take a beating, so this works very much in his favor. Especially when using the right gun.
Best Weapons for Ajax in The First Descendant
At the moment, there is one gun that should be on everyone’s Ajax build list in The First Descendant. This weapon is the current meta, and it is calledthe Tamer. It can be unlocked by running through the Abandoned Reconstruction Site Battlefield Mission in the Agna Desert region of the game. It has a 50% drop rate, so you have a lot of chances to get a great roll.
Pairing this withmods like Action and Reaction and Weak Point Detectionmakes this an absolute boss killer for your Ajax build in The First Descendant. If you’re done with your Ajax build, try moving on to one of themany other Descendantsin the game.
