The First Descendant is an upcoming next-gen looter shooter, built using Unreal Engine 5, for PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S. Nexon has just introduced Sharen Julicia, a half-woman, half-machine hero that’s going to deal some serious damage up close. Check out her gameplay reveal trailer above.
Gameplay-wise, Sharen uses camoflauge on approach and retreat in order to get in up close, where she is particularly lethal. Her passive skills include Assassinator, in which she does more damage to enemies who are not targeting her.
Her active skills, meanwhile, include: Cutoff Beam, which is an electric beam attack that adds an Electrocution effect; Active Camoflauge, which obviously hides her until she attacks. But when it ends, it triggers Ambush mode, which ups the damage of her next attack. Sharen also has Shock Nuts, which launches stun-inducing explosives; and Flash Daggers, which target enemies within aiming range and sends multiple shortswords fling towards the target’s location, dealing explosive damage and triggering an Electrocution effect.
For more on The First Descendant, stay tuned to IGN tomorrow for some exclusive new gameplay footage.
