What Are Ancestors Modules in The First Descendant?
Ancestors Modules are specialized Descendant Modules that provide randomized statistical bonuses.
They were introduced as an additional progression system for players who want to improve their characters beyond conventional module combinations.
Each Ancestors Module belongs to a specific Descendant or Descendant group.
For example, Bunny uses Runner's Resolution, while Gley uses Thirster's Resolution.
These modules do not have a universal fixed bonus that works identically for every player.
Instead, their effectiveness depends on the attributes generated when the module is obtained or readjusted.
How Ancestors Modules Work
The system has several important characteristics:
Descendant-specific equipment.
Each Ancestors Module is designed for a particular character. You must use the corresponding module rather than equipping a Resolution intended for another Descendant.
Randomized statistical attributes.
Ancestors Modules can provide up to four options. The number, type, and values of those attributes depend on the generated configuration.
Different option tiers.
Options can appear at Common, Rare, Ultimate, or Transcendent tier. Higher-tier rolls can provide stronger attributes within the applicable system.
Positive and negative effects.
Some configurations include a penalty alongside stronger positive bonuses. Understanding that trade-off is essential when selecting a module.
Readjustment customization.
Players can reroll module options using Superconductive Cooling Units, Kuiper Shards, Gold, and optional Alignment Devices.
Synchronization Value scaling.
Each Descendant has a Synchronization Value that influences the strength of the available attribute values.
These mechanics create substantial variation between modules of the same name.
Two players using Runner's Resolution on Bunny might have completely different combinations of bonuses.
Ancestors Modules vs Regular Modules
Regular Modules, such as Increased HP, Skill Expansion, or Nimble Fingers, have defined effects that can be enhanced through the normal module system.
Ancestors Modules are different.
They provide randomly generated bonuses that players can attempt to improve through Readjustment.
Ancestors Modules complement your existing build; they do not replace the need for properly selected regular Modules.
A character with weak weapons, unsuitable Reactors, or poorly developed skills will not automatically become powerful simply by equipping a rare Ancestors Module.
All Ancestors Modules and Their Descendants
The original Ancestors Module system introduced 21 character-specific Resolution Modules.
Additional modules were subsequently added for Dia and Raven.
The following are the 23 confirmed character-specific modules.
Complete Ancestors Module List
Grenadier's Resolution – Lepic and Ultimate Lepic
Guardian's Resolution – Ajax and Ultimate Ajax
Hunter's Resolution – Viessa and Ultimate Viessa
Tech Expert's Resolution – Jayber
Runner's Resolution – Bunny and Ultimate Bunny
Dominator's Resolution – Freyna and Ultimate Freyna
Thirster's Resolution – Gley and Ultimate Gley
Assassin's Resolution – Sharen and Ultimate Sharen
Chef's Resolution – Blair and Ultimate Blair
Shape of Water's Resolution – Valby and Ultimate Valby
Controller's Resolution – Kyle
Explosives Master's Resolution – Esiemo
Quartermaster's Resolution – Enzo
Medic's Resolution – Yujin
Artist's Resolution – Luna and Ultimate Luna
Marksman's Resolution – Hailey
Adventurer's Resolution – Keelan
Snare's Resolution – Ines
Hope's Resolution – Serena
Tactician's Resolution – Nell
Pioneer's Resolution – Harris
Delightful Resolution – Dia
Shadow's Resolve – Raven
The names identify the character compatibility, not a guaranteed set of attributes.
For example, obtaining Marksman's Resolution does not automatically mean receiving a maximum critical-damage bonus.
You still need to inspect the actual roll.
When farming Ancestors Module Loot, remember that the eligible module pool can contain modules for Descendants you are not currently using.
A successful loot acquisition does not necessarily guarantee the specific character's module you want.
Best Ancestors Modules – Which Ones Are Worth Farming?
Because every character uses a corresponding Ancestors Module, the most useful way to identify the best option is by evaluating how its rolled attributes complement the build.
There is no universal Ancestors Module that every character can equip.
Instead, certain character-specific modules deserve particular attention because they support popular bossing and farming configurations.
Runner's Resolution – Best for Bunny Farming Builds
Compatible Descendants: Bunny and Ultimate Bunny
Runner's Resolution is an important upgrade target for players who spend considerable time farming missions with Bunny.
Bunny's performance depends on movement, Electric damage, and keeping relevant abilities active while traveling through enemy groups.
Recommended stat priorities:
Skill Effect Range when available.
Skill Power or relevant offensive scaling.
Skill Cooldown.
Maximum HP and useful defensive attributes.
Resource-related bonuses that complement the selected build.
The most useful roll depends on whether you're using a conventional Lightning Emission setup or a specialized Transcendent Module.
For general farming, prioritize bonuses that help you clear enemies consistently without sacrificing movement or survivability.
A module with high offensive values but a penalty that makes resource management uncomfortable might not be your best choice.
Best for: Movement-based farming, general PvE, and Bunny-focused progression.
Thirster's Resolution – Best for Gley Bossing Builds
Compatible Descendants: Gley and Ultimate Gley
Thirster's Resolution deserves attention from players developing Gley for difficult boss encounters.
Gley received major adjustments in Update 1.4.5, particularly involving Explosive Life, Blood and Iron, and Demonic Modification.
These changes make the selected damage source especially important.
Recommended stat priorities:
Skill damage-related attributes for skill-focused builds.
Critical Hit bonuses that genuinely improve the chosen abilities.
HP-related statistics.
Cooldown-related attributes where appropriate.
Offensive bonuses aligned with the selected Transcendent Module.
A skill-focused Explosive Life configuration may value different attributes from a weapon-oriented setup.
Avoid assuming that every Gley build benefits equally from the same offensive options.
Also, be careful with penalties affecting survivability.
Gley's mechanics already involve unusual HP and resource management, so a damaging defensive penalty can make difficult encounters considerably harder.
Best for: Sustained boss damage and specialized Gley configurations.
Dominator's Resolution – Best for Freyna Toxic Builds
Compatible Descendants: Freyna and Ultimate Freyna
Dominator's Resolution is an important target for players who use Freyna for Toxic damage and enemy clearing.
Update 1.4.5 substantially changed Freyna's abilities and scaling.
Her revised mechanics place greater importance on evaluating current skill interactions rather than copying older module recommendations.
Recommended stat priorities:
Max MP where it contributes to the selected skill's scaling.
Toxic-related offensive attributes.
Skill Power and compatible damage bonuses.
Skill Effect Range for suitable farming builds.
Maximum HP or defensive bonuses.
Freyna's updated mechanics include a damage increase related to Max MP.
This creates additional reasons to consider MP-related attributes on compatible builds.
However, not every Freyna configuration uses the same Transcendent Module interactions.
Check whether your particular build benefits from the selected MP and Toxic bonuses before committing expensive Readjustment materials.
Freyna's Synchronization Value was also adjusted from 1.752 to 1.602 in Update 1.4.5.
That change affects the scaling of her Ancestors Module options.
Best for: Toxic farming, damage-over-time gameplay, and specialized Freyna endgame builds.
Marksman's Resolution – Best for Hailey Precision Builds
Compatible Descendant: Hailey
Marksman's Resolution is worth developing for players interested in Hailey's precision-focused gameplay.
Hailey rewards accuracy, powerful offensive abilities, and effective use of burst-damage opportunities.
Recommended stat priorities:
Relevant Skill Power bonuses.
Skill Critical Hit Damage where useful.
Suitable critical-related attributes.
Maximum HP and defensive stability.
Bonuses aligned with the specific attack used in the build.
The important consideration is whether you're improving a Zenith-oriented configuration or another offensive approach.
Hailey already has skill mechanics that support critical damage, so additional Critical Hit Rate must be evaluated against her existing bonuses.
A defensive option can also be valuable when the encounter requires holding a vulnerable attack position.
Best for: Precision bossing and high-damage Hailey builds.
Quartermaster's Resolution – Best for Enzo Firearm Builds
Compatible Descendant: Enzo
Quartermaster's Resolution is an attractive option for players who use Enzo's firearm-focused abilities.
His Firing Specialist mechanics were improved in Update 1.4.5, making sustained gunplay more rewarding.
Recommended stat priorities:
Firearm-related offensive attributes where available.
Survivability that supports sustained shooting.
Shield-related bonuses when relevant to the build.
Useful cooldown or support attributes.
Complementary offensive statistics that improve the selected playstyle.
Enzo does not necessarily benefit from the same Ancestors Module setup as a character whose primary damage comes from repeated skill attacks.
Choose bonuses according to the damage source you actually use.
A strong defensive attribute can also be useful if it allows you to maintain firearm pressure during longer encounters.
Best for: Firearm DPS, sustained gunplay, and Enzo's offensive-support configurations.
Snare's Resolution – Best for Ines Electric Farming
Compatible Descendant: Ines
Ines specializes in Electric abilities that interact with grouped enemies.
Snare's Resolution can provide additional improvements to the statistics supporting this style of gameplay.
Recommended stat priorities:
For missions containing dense enemy groups, coverage and reliable skill availability may be more useful than chasing the largest isolated damage bonus.
Players using Plasma Ball should also remember that it changes some of Ines's passive interactions.
Select Ancestors Module bonuses according to the current configuration rather than an older passive mechanic.
Best for: Electric chain damage and enemy-dense farming activities.
Shadow's Resolve – Best for Raven's Flexible Combat
Compatible Descendant: Raven
Raven is a flexible offensive character whose abilities support close-range attacks, movement, and area control.
Shadow's Resolve is the corresponding Ancestors Module.
Recommended stat priorities:
Damage-related attributes supporting the selected build.
Skill cooldown or offensive uptime.
Survivability for close-range encounters.
Skill-related bonuses for Nightfall configurations.
Other attributes that complement shotgun-oriented combat.
Nightfall and firearm-focused Raven setups can value different statistics.
Do not readjust a promising module around the wrong damage source.
Best for: Aggressive Raven players, close-range combat, and area-focused configurations.
Understanding Ancestors Module Option Tiers
Every Ancestors Module can contain attributes belonging to different tiers.
The confirmed tiers are:
Common → Rare → Ultimate → Transcendent
A higher-tier option is desirable, but tier alone does not determine the usefulness of a module.
Why High-Tier Stats Matter
Higher-tier rolls offer an opportunity to obtain stronger values.
However, you must still consider the underlying attribute.
For example, an Ultimate-tier bonus that barely affects your build may provide less practical value than a Rare-tier attribute directly supporting your main damage source.
A relevant stat at a lower tier can be more valuable than an irrelevant stat at a higher tier.
This is why you should evaluate the entire module rather than choosing equipment exclusively by its color.
The Four Option Configurations
Ancestors Modules use four possible option configurations.
These combinations involve positive attributes and, in some cases, a negative penalty.
The recognized configurations are:
Two positive attributes.
This provides a focused set of useful bonuses without a penalty. It can be a good choice when both options directly support your build.
Two positive attributes and one negative attribute.
This configuration offers particularly strong positive-value potential in exchange for a penalty. It can be excellent when the negative attribute barely affects your character.
Three positive attributes.
This provides broader coverage without a negative option. Individual values may be lower, but the total combination can be convenient for balanced builds.
Three positive attributes and one negative attribute.
This offers a wider collection of bonuses with a drawback. It can be useful when multiple attributes are relevant and the penalty is manageable.
The available value ranges differ between configurations.
A larger number of positive attributes does not automatically mean a stronger module.
Why Negative Attributes Can Be Worth Accepting
Negative attributes are not always a reason to discard an Ancestors Module.
Their importance depends on the character and build.
For example, a penalty that affects a statistic your configuration rarely uses may be relatively inexpensive to accept.
A penalty that reduces your main damage source, undermines survivability, or creates resource problems could be much more damaging.
Before keeping a negative roll, ask yourself whether the benefits genuinely outweigh the drawback during actual gameplay.
The best penalty is one that costs your build very little while allowing you to benefit from stronger positive attributes.
How Synchronization Value Affects Ancestors Modules
Synchronization Value is one of the most important mechanics in the Ancestors Module system.
Each Descendant has a Synchronization Value that influences the effective strength of the module's generated attributes.
You can find this value in the Descendant information screen under the Sub section.
How Synchronization Value Works
The system calculates an attribute's effective value using three components:
Base Value × Synchronization Value × Additional Coefficient = Final Value
The additional coefficient depends on the option configuration, including the number of attributes and whether a penalty is present.
The Final Value is the value applied to your Descendant.
This means two modules with seemingly comparable original rolls can produce different final values when their characters have different Synchronization Values.
The game evaluates the option's tier using its underlying Base Value, while the actual bonus uses the final calculated value.
Why Synchronization Values Can Change
Nexon adjusts Synchronization Values as part of character balancing.
For example, Freyna's Synchronization Value was reduced from 1.752 to 1.602 in Update 1.4.5.
This adjustment accompanied her broader ability changes.
When a Descendant's Synchronization Value changes, existing Ancestors Modules are automatically affected.
You do not need to obtain a replacement module simply because Synchronization Value has been adjusted.
However, it is worth reviewing the character's current statistics to understand how the change affects your overall build.
Should You Farm Based on Synchronization Value?
Not exclusively.
A character with a relatively high Synchronization Value may receive stronger effective attributes, but that does not automatically make the character better for every activity.
You should select Ancestors Modules according to the Descendant you actually play.
Synchronization Value helps you evaluate rolls. It should not be your only reason for investing in a character.
How to Farm Ancestors Modules in The First Descendant
Ancestors Modules are available through several endgame activities.
Some rewards are guaranteed under specific completion conditions, while others depend on acquisition probabilities.
The best farming location depends on whether you need more random modules, a particular character's module, or upgrade materials.
Onslaught Stage 5 – Best for High-Tier Module Rewards
Onslaught Stage 5 is one of the most attractive farming activities following Update 1.4.5.
The activity includes six enemy waves and a Colossus encounter.
It requires completing Onslaught Stage 4 to unlock Stage 5.
Public Operations require 93,300 Arche Activity, although Private Operations can be entered below that requirement.
Confirmed Stage 5 completion rewards include:
2 Ancestors Module Loot – 45.5% acquisition chance.
This is a valuable opportunity to receive multiple modules from a successful completion. The displayed percentage applies to the listed two-item reward.
367 Superconductive Cooling Units.
These materials are important for improving the modules you already own. Stage 5 provides a substantial amount alongside its other rewards.
2 Rare Alignment Devices – 26% acquisition chance.
These are useful for Readjustment attempts that need an improved option-tier floor.
2 Ultimate Alignment Devices – 8% acquisition chance.
Ultimate Alignment Devices are especially valuable when attempting to develop strong late-game rolls.
Onslaught Stage 5 also has a special reward opportunity that can provide an Ancestors Module with at least one guaranteed Transcendent-tier option.
This guaranteed tier is valuable, but it does not guarantee the most useful stat for your particular build.
A high-tier attribute still needs to match your character's requirements.
Onslaught Stage 4 – Strong Alternative for Module Farming
Onslaught Stage 4 remains an attractive option for players who can clear it more comfortably than Stage 5.
Its special Ancestors Module reward can guarantee at least two Ultimate-tier options.
This is useful because multiple strong attributes can sometimes provide better overall build value than a single Transcendent-tier option.
Stage 4 is also worth considering when you prefer a more manageable activity.
Choose based on both reward quality and successful clear consistency.
Karel's Mothership – Best for Modules and Cooling Units Together
Karel's Mothership is another important source of Ancestors Modules.
The dungeon offers Normal and Hard difficulties, along with valuable endgame materials.
Following the September reward improvements, the published mission-completion rewards include:
Normal Difficulty
Ancestors Module Loot: 36.4% acquisition chance.
Superconductive Cooling Units: 146.
Rare Alignment Device: 36.4% acquisition chance.
Hard Difficulty
Ancestors Module Loot: 48.5% acquisition chance.
Superconductive Cooling Units: 194.
Rare Alignment Device: 48.5% acquisition chance.
Defeated Commanders can also provide additional Ancestors Module and upgrade-material opportunities.
Hard difficulty is attractive when your team can finish the mission reliably.
Normal remains worthwhile when you are learning the encounters or strengthening your character.
Karel's Mothership is particularly useful because it combines module acquisition with materials needed to improve existing modules.
Supermassive Receptor – Reliable Ancestors Module Farming
Supermassive Receptor is a Hard Infiltration Operation located in Axion Plains.
It offers Ancestors Module Loot through its bonus rewards.
This makes it useful for players seeking repeated module acquisitions without depending entirely on rare Commander drops.
The activity also provides other equipment and progression rewards, making it attractive when you have multiple farming objectives.
Use the mission's reward interface to confirm the available bonus rewards before entering.
Sigma Sector – Another Module Farming Option
High-risk Sigma Sector activities can provide Ancestors Module rewards.
The system includes eligible bonus opportunities that award modules alongside other resources.
These activities can be useful alternatives when you prefer their combat structure or need additional progression materials.
Check the selected mission's current rewards because different sectors can offer different items.
Axion Plains and Wall Crasher
Wall Crasher, the Dimensional Breach Colossus in Axion Plains, is another confirmed source of Ancestors Modules.
The reward is chance-based rather than a guaranteed module from every defeat.
Other eligible Axion Plains activities can also provide Superconductive Cooling Units and relevant progression resources.
This makes the region useful for players improving several parts of their equipment.
ETA Voucher Shop and Module Selection Rewards
Certain shop rewards and selection boxes can help you obtain Ancestors Modules.
The Quality Certified ETA Voucher Shop has offered Ancestors Module purchases through its supported reward system.
Character-selection boxes are particularly useful because they can reduce the randomness of obtaining the desired character's module.
Current event rewards may also provide selection boxes.
For example, the October 2026 Descendant Overhaul activities include Ancestors Module Selection Boxes among their possible challenge rewards.
Always inspect the box contents and requirements before claiming or opening one.
Selecting the desired Descendant's module does not guarantee ideal randomized attributes.
How to Get Superconductive Cooling Units
Superconductive Cooling Units are the primary specialized resource used for Ancestors Module Readjustment.
As you perform more attempts on the same module, material costs increase significantly.
This makes resource farming important for anyone pursuing high-end rolls.
Best Sources of Superconductive Cooling Units
Several confirmed activities provide them:
Onslaught Stage 5.
The published completion reward includes 367 Superconductive Cooling Units, making the activity especially attractive for developed endgame characters.
Karel's Mothership.
Normal and Hard mission completions provide substantial quantities. Commanders can also provide additional materials.
Axion Plains Operational Area.
This activity is a confirmed source of Readjustment materials.
Void Vessel activities.
Eligible Void Vessel missions provide Superconductive Cooling Units through their reward systems.
Supermassive Receptor.
Commander rewards include Cooling Unit opportunities, including a low-probability larger drop.
High-risk Sigma Sector.
Selected missions provide materials that can help fund additional Readjustments.
When choosing between these activities, consider how many resources you obtain relative to the difficulty of completing the mission.
A smaller reward from a reliable mission can still be useful when you are not ready for demanding endgame encounters.
Dismantling Unwanted Ancestors Modules
Unwanted Ancestors Modules can be dismantled through the Ancestors Module Adjustor.
The standard dismantling return includes five Superconductive Cooling Units.
This provides a way to recover some material value from unwanted modules.
However, five units will not compensate for the cost of repeatedly readjusting a heavily invested module.
Before dismantling, inspect its attributes and verify that you do not need it for another configuration.
How to Readjust Ancestors Modules
Readjustment is the system used to generate a different set of attributes on an existing Ancestors Module.
This is one of the most powerful customization features, but it can also become expensive.
Where to Readjust Ancestors Modules
Visit the Ancestors Module Adjustor in Albion.
Select the module you want to improve and open the Readjustment interface.
The screen displays the module's current attributes and the available option information.
You can review the potential advantage and penalty configurations before committing resources.
What Changes During Readjustment?
Readjustment can change:
The number of options.
Your next result may use a different configuration from the existing module.
The attribute types.
The new roll can contain different offensive, defensive, or utility options.
The attribute values.
The generated values may improve or worsen, depending on the result.
The option tiers.
The resulting attributes can have different tiers, subject to the system's probability rules and any applicable guarantee.
You can compare the new result against your existing attributes.
Keeping your previous attributes does not refund the materials consumed by the attempt.
Never assume that Readjustment will improve your module. It generates another possible result, not an automatic upgrade.
Ancestors Module Readjustment Costs
Readjustment becomes increasingly expensive as you perform additional attempts on the same module.
The published standard costs are:
First Readjustment
5 Superconductive Cooling Units
10,000 Kuiper Shards
30,000 Gold
Second Readjustment
10 Superconductive Cooling Units
20,000 Kuiper Shards
60,000 Gold
Third Readjustment
15 Superconductive Cooling Units
30,000 Kuiper Shards
90,000 Gold
Fourth Readjustment
25 Superconductive Cooling Units
50,000 Kuiper Shards
150,000 Gold
Fifth Readjustment
40 Superconductive Cooling Units
80,000 Kuiper Shards
240,000 Gold
Sixth Readjustment
65 Superconductive Cooling Units
130,000 Kuiper Shards
390,000 Gold
Seventh Readjustment
105 Superconductive Cooling Units
210,000 Kuiper Shards
630,000 Gold
Eighth Readjustment
170 Superconductive Cooling Units
340,000 Kuiper Shards
1,020,000 Gold
Ninth Readjustment
275 Superconductive Cooling Units
550,000 Kuiper Shards
1,650,000 Gold
Tenth and Subsequent Readjustments
445 Superconductive Cooling Units
890,000 Kuiper Shards
2,670,000 Gold per attempt
These are standard published costs. Specific in-game discounts may modify the amount required when a qualifying benefit is active.
Notice how dramatically the cost increases.
Your first attempt is relatively inexpensive, but repeated Readjustments can consume large amounts of resources.
When Should You Stop Readjusting?
If you already have a module with two excellent attributes and a manageable penalty, additional Readjustment might not be worthwhile.
Before attempting another roll, ask:
How much improvement could I realistically gain?
Are the current attributes already useful?
Does the penalty significantly affect my build?
Could these materials improve another Descendant?
Would farming another copy be more efficient?
Do not discard a strong module simply because it is not mathematically perfect.
A useful roll that allows you to clear difficult content comfortably is already valuable.
Alignment Devices – How to Guarantee Better Option Tiers
Alignment Devices provide another way to improve Ancestors Module Readjustment.
They allow players to guarantee a minimum tier for one option during a qualifying attempt.
Rare Alignment Device
A Rare Alignment Device guarantees that one option will be Rare tier or higher.
This is useful when you want to reduce the possibility of receiving only lower-tier attributes.
It does not guarantee a particular stat.
Ultimate Alignment Device
An Ultimate Alignment Device guarantees one option at Ultimate tier or higher.
This makes it especially attractive when pursuing high-end modules.
However, the guaranteed attribute may still be unrelated to your primary build.
For example, a strong defensive option might appear when you were hoping for an offensive bonus.
That does not mean the Alignment Device failed. It means the tier guarantee and attribute selection are different parts of the system.
Transcendent Alignment Devices
Transcendent Alignment Devices also exist as valuable high-end progression items and have been distributed through special challenge rewards.
Before consuming one, verify its exact in-game guarantee and whether the module you are upgrading is worth the investment.
Such resources are better reserved for a character you regularly use than spent without a clear optimization goal.
Important Alignment Device Limitations
Only one option's tier can be guaranteed through the standard Alignment Device Readjustment feature.
An Alignment Device does not lock your favorite attribute while the others are rerolled.
This distinction matters because players sometimes assume that using an Alignment Device preserves the rest of their current module.
It does not.
Alignment Devices improve the tier outcome. They do not automatically guarantee the combination of stats you want.
How to Identify a God-Roll Ancestors Module
A god roll is a module with exceptionally useful attributes for a particular build.
It is not necessarily a module containing the maximum possible number of positive effects.
Best God-Roll for Boss Damage
For a damage-focused Descendant, the ideal module supports the primary offensive mechanics.
Depending on the character and available attributes, useful targets may include:
Skill Power and compatible offensive bonuses.
Critical-related statistics.
Relevant damage improvements.
Cooldown benefits supporting stronger ability uptime.
Defensive bonuses that allow sustained offensive performance.
The exact priority changes between skill and firearm builds.
Avoid choosing an attribute that does not interact with your main source of damage.
Best God-Roll for Farming
Farming-focused characters often benefit from convenient area clearing and ability availability.
Prioritize compatible attributes that improve:
For example, a Bunny farming configuration may gain more practical value from comfortable skill coverage than from a narrowly specialized stat useful only during occasional boss encounters.
Best God-Roll for Support Characters
Support-oriented Descendants require different considerations.
Yujin, Ajax, Luna, and other utility-focused characters should prioritize attributes that strengthen their intended role.
Useful categories may involve survivability, ability availability, resource management, and compatible skill effectiveness.
The right choice depends on how the particular support ability functions.
A support module should improve your contribution to the team, not simply imitate a damage dealer's setup.
Common Ancestors Module Mistakes to Avoid
Several mistakes can waste valuable materials or prevent you from recognizing a strong roll.
Keeping modules based only on tier.
A Transcendent-tier attribute can be less useful than a well-matched lower-tier option. Always evaluate the actual stat.
Ignoring negative attributes.
A powerful offensive roll may not be worthwhile if its penalty creates constant survivability or resource problems.
Readjusting too many times on one module.
Later attempts become extremely expensive. At some point, obtaining another copy may be more efficient.
Forgetting Synchronization Value.
Different Descendants have different Synchronization Values, and balance updates can affect the final attributes of existing modules.
Using outdated character priorities.
The latest reworks can change which attributes provide the best results, especially for characters such as Freyna and Gley.
Dismantling promising modules too quickly.
A roll that is not useful for your current configuration might still work well in another build for the same Descendant.
Assuming Alignment Devices preserve your favorite stats.
These devices guarantee a minimum tier for one option, not the exact combination or permanent preservation of selected attributes.
Tips for Farming and Upgrading Ancestors Modules Efficiently
The most effective strategy is to focus on improvements that provide noticeable benefits without consuming unnecessary resources.
Prioritize Your Main Descendant
If you regularly use Bunny for farming, begin by finding a useful Runner's Resolution.
If you focus on bossing with Gley, prioritize Thirster's Resolution.
Investing in a Descendant you actively play provides more practical value than improving a character you rarely use.
Compare Entire Rolls, Not Individual Numbers
A module with one impressive attribute and several harmful options may be worse than a balanced alternative.
Look at the full combination.
Evaluate how each attribute affects your actual abilities, defenses, and resource requirements.
Protect Valuable Rolls
Keep promising modules clearly identified in your inventory.
Ancestors Modules can be registered as Attached Items, which helps you locate important pieces.
Be especially careful before dismantling or performing expensive Readjustments.
Take Advantage of Reliable Reward Sources
Onslaught and Karel's Mothership offer useful combinations of Ancestors Modules and upgrade materials.
Choose activities your character can complete successfully.
Do not pursue a more difficult farm solely because its displayed reward is larger.
Verify Active Readjustment Benefits
Some previous events offered discounted or free Ancestors Module Readjustments.
The October Patch 1.4.4 discount and free-readjustment events ended on October 14, 2026.
They should not be treated as permanent system features.
Check the current in-game Events interface before assuming a discount is available.
The First Descendant Ancestors Modules FAQ
What are Ancestors Modules in The First Descendant?
Ancestors Modules are Descendant-specific modules that provide randomized statistical attributes. They can contain up to four options, including positive bonuses and potential penalties, and can be improved through Readjustment.
What is the best Ancestors Module?
There is no universal best module. Each Descendant has a corresponding Ancestors Module, and the strongest roll depends on the build. Runner's Resolution is used by Bunny, Thirster's Resolution by Gley, and Dominator's Resolution by Freyna.
How do you farm Ancestors Modules?
You can obtain them through eligible activities such as Onslaught, Karel's Mothership, Supermassive Receptor, high-risk Sigma Sector, Wall Crasher, and other qualifying reward sources.
Where is the best place to farm high-tier Ancestors Modules?
Onslaught Stage 5 is particularly attractive because its special reward provides at least one guaranteed Transcendent-tier option. Stage 4 is another strong choice, offering a special module reward with at least two guaranteed Ultimate-tier options.
What are Superconductive Cooling Units used for?
They are the primary specialized material required for Ancestors Module Readjustment. They are consumed alongside Kuiper Shards and Gold when generating new attributes.
Can you change Ancestors Module stats?
Yes. Visit the Ancestors Module Adjustor in Albion and use Readjustment to generate another set of attributes. The system can change the number, type, tier, and values of options.
How much does Ancestors Module Readjustment cost?
The first standard attempt costs 5 Superconductive Cooling Units, 10,000 Kuiper Shards, and 30,000 Gold. Costs increase with additional attempts, reaching 445 Cooling Units, 890,000 Kuiper Shards, and 2,670,000 Gold per attempt from the tenth onward.
What is Synchronization Value?
Synchronization Value is a Descendant-specific value that affects the final strength of Ancestors Module attributes. It can change during character balancing, and existing modules are automatically affected.
Are negative Ancestors Module stats always bad?
Not necessarily. Configurations containing negative attributes can offer stronger positive values. A penalty may be acceptable when it has little practical effect on your build.
What do Alignment Devices do?
Alignment Devices guarantee a minimum tier for one option during a qualifying Readjustment. They do not guarantee a specific attribute or preserve all existing stats.
Can Ancestors Modules be dismantled?
Yes. You can dismantle them at the Ancestors Module Adjustor. The standard dismantling return includes five Superconductive Cooling Units.
Do Ultimate Descendants need different Ancestors Modules?
Ultimate variants generally share the corresponding Ancestors Module with their regular version when both are listed as compatible. However, the best attribute combination can change depending on the character's selected build and abilities.
Conclusion – Farm Smarter and Build Better Ancestors Modules
Ancestors Modules are an important endgame progression system in The First Descendant, providing additional opportunities to improve your character through randomized attributes and carefully selected bonuses.
The most important decision is not simply choosing the highest-tier option.
Your objective should be to obtain an Ancestors Module that strengthens your primary damage source, supports your playstyle, and avoids penalties that interfere with your performance.
For farming-focused characters such as Bunny and Ines, prioritize attributes that improve comfortable enemy clearing and ability effectiveness.
For bossing characters such as Gley and Hailey, focus on statistics that support your actual damage mechanics.
For specialized builds involving Freyna or Enzo, pay close attention to the latest character changes before investing heavily in Readjustment.
Onslaught Stage 5 offers excellent opportunities for high-tier modules and upgrade materials, while Karel's Mothership provides another valuable combination of Ancestors Module Loot and Superconductive Cooling Units.
Most importantly, manage your resources carefully.
Readjustment costs increase substantially, and chasing a perfect result can consume materials that might provide greater improvements elsewhere.
Keep useful rolls, evaluate penalties realistically, and improve your equipment according to the content you want to master.
For players exploring gaming services and progression assistance, BoostRoom offers a marketplace for digital gaming services.
A well-chosen Ancestors Module is more than an additional stat boost. It is a carefully optimized part of your Descendant's build that can make difficult content more consistent, efficient, and rewarding.
