The Importance of Weapon Upgrades

Moxsy emphasizes the significance of upgrading your weapons in The First Descendent. When building a legendary weapon like the Thunder Cage, it starts at level one. However, you can infuse it with other legendaries to increase its base stats. Moxsy recommends using a Precision phase exchanger to craft and upgrade any weapon. By doing so, you can bring your favorite weapon with you throughout your leveling journey.

Each weapon comes with four randomly rolled stats, which vary based on the weapon’s level and rarity. Moxsy advises rolling for good stats and prioritizing elements, weak point damage, crit damage, and firearm attack. These stats provide significant damage boosts that can greatly enhance your gameplay.

Enhancing Unique Abilities

Another important aspect of weapon upgrades is enhancing unique abilities. By enhancing a unique ability, you can increase its damage, trigger rate, or area of effect. For the Thunder Cage, enhancing the electric explosion radius or trigger rate can be extremely beneficial. Moxsy recommends farming multiple Thunder Cages to further enhance their unique abilities.

Building the Thunder Cage

Moxsy shares his prioritized build for the Thunder Cage, focusing on crit damage, crit chance, weak point damage, and increased fire rate. He suggests investing in blue mods like better Insight, better concentration, rifling reinforcement, and action and reaction for increased damage. Additionally, mods like consume magazines and weak point insight provide utility and extra damage.

While the Thunder Cage is an excellent weapon, Moxsy acknowledges that the Tamer machine gun offers higher DPS. However, investing in the Thunder Cage early on provides a solid foundation and allows for easy leveling and building. Moxsy plans to use the Thunder Cage for mobbing and general gameplay, reserving the Tamer machine gun for late-game boss encounters.
