New Trigger Modules have been added to The First Descendant. These arrive to the game with powerful effects for players to experiment with. This content is part of a new update.

For those new to the game, Trigger Modules are modules which trigger an effect once a Descendant uses a skill. Some modules trigger based on the skill tags of the Descendant while others trigger when any skill is used.

That said, three new Trigger Modules have been introduced to the game through the update. The first is Supply Fortress. How it works is that when using a Barrier type skill, players can recover Rounds of current firearm based on Shield HP consumed and deal Additional Damage on successful attack.

Next is Wave Eruption. When using an Emission type skill it gives Wave Eruption to self and deals Additional Damage proportional to the number of stacks to the target hit by the skill.

Finally, there's the Rhythmic Step. When using a Rhythm type skill, grants Rhythmic Step, an effect that increases Max Shield and Movement Speed, to self on successful match of the rhythm timing. By the way, this trigger module is exclusive to Luna.

The new update also introduces a new weapon class and adds a new Void Vessel dungeon. Learn more about the new update here.
