Ultimate Gley In The First Descendant
Differences And Research Cost
Gley’s Ultimate form, like the others, takes afair amount of research or 3000 caliber to unlock. Gley is concentrated on two main stats, and herUltimate form nearly doubles one of them. This may or may not be worth it to you, but if she is going to be your main Descendant, it is at the least worth considering.

There are a couple of other things to consider that might make the Ultimate form more appealing, including new, exclusive skins. Ultimate forms have agolden aesthetic and look sleeker. However, the Ultimate form also hasextra Modular sockets and exclusive Modulesthat only the Ultimate form can use. That being said, there are plenty that can be equipped to either form that can also work just as well. You might have to adjust your build, but Gley will be powerful no matter what.

Best Modules For Gley
Top Picks & Some Alternatives
There are a couple of different ways you can go with Gley, fromdoing a lot of spam damage to spewing out rockets to making a one-shot KO build. Because of that, the Modules you will want to put on Gley will likely change depending on which one you want to make your main focus. However, that said, here are some basicModules inThe First Descendantthat will likelyend up in your base buildno matter what the Module in Slot 1 is.
There arethree main Modulesyou will likely want to swap in and out of Slot 1 depending on what build you are going for, as seen inYouTuber LeyzarGamingViews’ video. For regular Gley, your two choices are:
However, if you are running Ultimate Gley, youcan run Demonic Modification. This will let you one-shot many bosses and enemies, as can be seen in the followingvideo from YouTuber Moxsywhichhighlights a Japanese player’s build of Ultimate Gley. This Module would be the main reason to try to grind out or buy Ultimate Gley.
Massive Sanguification is the Module to use if youwant to take advantage of your lower HP and be able to absorb Life Orbseven when you’re not in a Frenzied state. This can allow you tobuff your stats by quite a bit and do a lot of damage over time. This build can do a lot of damage on its own, but it can be a bit more complex than the other builds.
Predator Instinct is going to be thebest for the Rocket spam build, as it allows your Firearm ATK to increase over time while you are Frenzied. You are going to want a fair amount of survivability but with a lot offocus on her Massacre and Life Siphon skills. In this build, you may swap out some of the Modules for Skill extenders to make it even more deadly by staying in Frenzied mode longer.
The Demonic Modification builds can be extreme, withsome of them one-shotting bosses. This increases your bullet damage based on the amount of HP being consumed, but if you attack the enemy’s weak point it also increases the chance your HP will recover. This makes it an incredible weapon in the hand of Gley whoconstantly trades HP for damage. It is a high-risk, high-reward build that can deal loads of damage.

Recommendations & Alternatives
TheVestigial Organ Launcher inThe First Descendantis a great weapon for both the Predator Instinct and the Demonic Modification Build. However, it leansmuch more into the Predator Instinct build. You canspam the bullets and take out bosses like Executionerextremely fast.
You will also want to look for a good sniper rifle, such asAfterglow Sword or Piercing Light. This allows you to deal with some bosses from a distance and is great with the build shown off in Moxsy’s video. It is also helpful fortaking out bosses like the Dead Brideso you do not have to get very close or be in danger of her AoE attacks.
Your primary weapon can be a number of different weapons, butone that is often recommended is the Python. You will want to roll things like Bonus Firearm ATK against Colossus and Weak Point Damage. Anything that bumps up yourFire Rate, Critical Hit Damage, or Firearm ATKis something great to look for, especially with Gley’s Massacre ability.

The main External Components you are going to be looking for is theAnnihilation Set. This set gives you a fair amount of HP in addition to giving you Skill Duration bonuses if you have 2/4 items for 5.7%, and if you have all 4 pieces, yourFirearm ATK will increase with the amount of HP you lose. Combined with Frenzied and Massacre, this is a huge boost to Gley.
Similarly, the main recommended reactor is theMaterialized Phase Reactor, which gives you a fair amount of Skill Power. You are looking for one with a strong Skill Duration and Skill Cooldown boost, allowing you to stay Frenzied even longer and take advantage of all those bonuses.
