After weeks of speculation,NEXON finally confirmed the next playable character forThe First Descendantand while many fans may have called it a while ago, they’ll still be pleased about the reveal.

Those concerned about the title running out of content need not fear because NEXON is already gearing up for the launch of a new Descendant.
Announced in an official blog post,NEXONrevealed thatLuna will be the game’s first new Descendant before breaking down her skills and abilities. The music-loving character, known as “The Mad Artist,” is returning to Albion to assist her allies in battle with some sonorous buffs and powerful combat skills. Her weapon is the instantly identifiable Synthesizer Gun which, when fired in rhythm, will enhance the abilities of her teammates, but be warned that the extent of the buff is based on her performance, so dropping too many beats may make it far less effective in a fight.

What Else Is New In The First Descendant’s Next Update?
Even More Ways To Play The Game
Aside from the Synthesizer Gun,Luna also sports a couple of Modification Modules to further enhance her playstyle: Nimble Footsteps and Noise Surge. The former is a mobility skill that boosts her effect’s range and her performance, making her a bettersupport character for the entire group. The latter switches Luna’s role from support to combat as she zips into enemies and unleashes bouts of rhythmic damage; when her inspiration gauge is full, Luna summons an entire stage to recover both her health and shields.
Aside from Luna’s introductiontoThe First Descendantas the first post-launch playable character, the Week 5 Update will also feature an abundance of new content. First and foremost,Valby is gaining her ultimate equipment known as the “Sea of Emerald,“a nano suit that “replicates Valby’s former body color and texture.” A meaningful addition to the tragic character, Valby mains will likely want to prioritize getting their hands on the “Sea of Emerald” not least of all because of its narrative implications.
The First Descendant’s next update isn’t all about the heroes though as it will also introduce Gluttony, a twisted “Devourer-type” enemy that, when defeated, can drop new ultimate weapons and external components. Speaking of which,the patch will also introduce a new ultimate weapon, the Peace Mediator, and another Ultimate Module, Arche Concretionwhichincreases defense and mentality when using skillsbut lowers movement and attack power. The community has plenty to look forward to, as NEXON is clearly dedicated to building a long-lasting live-service shooter.
