The First Descendant Best Bunny Build – Recommended
Best Skills
Lightning Emission is the best skill for Bunny, as it grants Electrocution. The perk debuffs enemies, which is very crucial when they come in a horde and deal continuous damage at 1-second intervals.
The Lightning Emission skill lasts for 20 seconds and unlocks when Bunny reaches Level 5. Combined with Speed of Light, Bunny can quickly clear mobs without a second thought. This combo is what makes her an undisputed S-tier.
All Skills
Here are all the available skills that Bunny can use:
- Rabbit Foot (Passive) – Builds up Electricity charge while moving. Once Bunny stops, the accumulated Electricity can be used to deal damage to nearby enemies when landing a Double Jump.
- Thrill Bomb – Spawns a Bomb that damages a nearby enemy. This damage increases depending on how much electric energy Bunny has gathered from running.
- Speed of Light – Increases Sprint Speed and lets Bunny continuously run while active
- Lightning Emission – Deals damage to enemies when moving. This damage increases depending on how much electric energy Bunny has gathered from running.
- Maximum Power – Blast Electricity in front of Bunny, dealing damage to enemies that are in her path. This damage increases depending on how much electric energy Bunny has gathered from running and ends when the Electricity runs out.
Best Weapons
These are the best weapons for Bunny to use in The First Descendant:
- Thunder Cage (SMG)
- Nightmare Reaper (Sniper Rifle)
- Tamer (Machine Gun)
The Thunder Cage and Nightmare Reaper are ultimate weapons. The Thunder Cage SMG emits electric shockwaves while the Nightmare Reaper Sniper Rifle upon hitting the weak point of an enemy activates Death Propagation.
The Tamer Machine Gun is also particularly effective against bosses in the game.
Best Reactor to use
For Bunny, you’ll want a Tingling Mixture Reactor. Though her bread and butter skills get Singular scaling, you’ll want a Fusion reactor. Speed of Light will kill most mobs in one or two hits, anyways, so you’ll want that bonus Fusion damage for bosses and tougher enemies.
Farm for a reactor that’s got a weapon you actually use, especially if you can swing an Ultimate reactor that matches up with something like Thunder Cage. That 160% bonus skill damage is nice to have.

| 4 | Increased HP | Large buff to overall HP pool | Normal |
| 5 | Increased Shield | Large buff to Max Shield | Normal |
| 6 | Skill Expansion | Improves Skill area of effect | Normal |
| 7 (Sub Module) | Personal preference | Whichever sub-attack you use, make sure it’s leveled out to get you more module slots | Normal |
| 8 | DEF Accelerant | Skill duration increased and overall DEF | Rare |
| 9 | Skill Range Mastery | Improves Critical Hit damage from Skills | Rare |
| 10 | Skill Extension | Increased Skill Duration | Normal |
| 11 | Resist Module | N/A | N/A |

The key factor you must remember here is placing the mods in the Socket that aligns with their Module Socket Type and Class. This will reduce the Module Capacity Cost significantly, allowing you to place powerful and expensive mods easily.
You can also use Crystallization Catalysts to add Module Sockets to your loadout, enabling you to really maximize your efficiency and start optimizing toward a build that gets all the essential modules in.
Best External Components
In Bunny’s build, the best External Components are those with stats like Max Shield, Max HP, HP Recovery, and DEF.
Getting the right components boils down to the fact how lucky you are. The First Descendant being a looter shooter means you’ll need to spend time finding External Components with good stats.
Pros and Cons of Bunny
Here are some of the pros and cons you’ll come across while playing as Bunny in The First Descendant:
| PROS | CONS |
|---|---|
| Excellent at Crowd Control and deals high AoE damage. | Not strong enough on one-on-one combat with bosses and in Void Intercept Battles. |
| Allows players to build up electricity on the move to deal significant damage. | If not moving, her damage output can get extremely low. |
| Bunny’s skill set offers a variety of builds centered on speed, damage, or electricity, providing gameplay options. | Unlocking and optimizing Bunny can be costly in terms of in-game resources. |
| Complements team compositions needing a fast damage dealer. | Makes other characters less relevant for farming due to her overwhelming efficiency. |
| Her speed enables quick mission completions and progress. | Players may become overly dependent on her speed, ignoring other strategic game components. |
Where does Bunny sit in The First Descendant meta?
Bunny is still a top-tier character in The First Descendant which players widely desire as of September 2024 meta, which is why she is listed in our tier list as S-Tier. Although she isn’t as good at bossing as Lepic or Valby, she is by far the best Descendant in mobbing.
Her fast-paced gameplay and electric-based abilities do not even require players to utilize a weapon, let alone the finest weapon for her, the Thunder Cage SMG. Bunny is the Descendant best suited for grinding and quickly progressing through missions, and with the appropriate build, she can be the most powerful character.
