The First Descendant – Deep Dive Valby Build Guide

Quick Guide to Valby Build

  • For Gluttony/Bossing use the STW (Spiral Tidal Wave) build as this will allow her 1st ability to taunt Gluttony’s impurities, making the mechanic much easier.
  • Uses the SLAYER EC Set with a Materialized phase reactor with Colossi DMG and Dimension boost (STW T-mod turns her one into a dimension based skill).
  • For this STW build pair this with the new Peace Maker HC as it’s unique ability buffs skill power and dmg when using dimension skills and this stacks up to x5.

For Mobbing/general bossing use the SM (Supply Moisture) setup. For this I use the same EC set as above (slayer) but the reactor might change as her 1st skill is no longer a dimension but a fusion instead pair this with Enduring Legacy

Important Notes and Q/A

How much damage can I expect?

  • Well enough for any situation, obviously lepic will do more in burst but this takes more into consideration

How many Cats?

  • 8 is required for this build to really shine

Is STW worth it?

  • Yes

Valby’s damage is really good here and yeah you could go slightly different routes but imo I didn’t need too, this does everything I wanted out of Valby. MP collector isnt needed, if you wanted you could lose the health and defense for more DMG but I do not think it’s needed but if you want dangerous ambush it can work just don’t get hit. I personally just like a bit more of a balance.

If Gluttony has showed us anything it is that your 10sec kill burst builds will not be as viable as they used to be as these only really work well with solo scaling and in 4-man bosses and or even later down the raod in mega dungeons this style may be more useful.
