The First Descendant update 1.1.4 adds Ultimate Freyna, Frost Watcher, new Colossus and more

The First Descendant update 1.1.4: Everything new

Ultimate Freyna

Added Ultimate Freyna.
Using Freyna or Ultimate Freyna will activate Freyna's character quest.
When Freyna's character quest is fully completed, you will receive the chest attachment 'Old Wounds.'

Ultimate Freyna Skill Modules

Toxic Mixture: Freyna's passive skill Contagion Links is changed to Toxic Mixture. When equipped, this skill module will trigger Necrosis instead of Room 0 Trauma. As enemies gain more stacks of Necrosis, your Firearm ATK increases when you shoot at them, and if an enemy reaches max stacks, your Firearm Critical Hit Rate also increases.
Venom Injection: Defense Mechanism is changed to Venom Injection. Venom Injection consumes resources to recover your Shield and increase Skill Power Modifier, while inflicting Corrosion on enemies. Enemies inflicted with Corrosion suffer reduced Toxin Resistance, making them more vulnerable to Freyna's Toxic attacks.

Ultimate Freyna Amorphous Materials

Amorphous Material Patterns 012, 039, 046, 054, 063, 067, 079, 083, 097, 100, 119, and 127 can no longer be acquired. You can continue using the Amorphous Materials you already have as before.
Added the "AB variants" of Amorphous Material Patterns 012, 039, 046, 054, 063, 067, 079, 083, 097, 100, 119, and 127. You can acquire Ultimate Freyna's Enhanced Cells Blueprint, Stabilizer Blueprint, Spiral Catalysts Blueprint, and Code from these amorphous materials.

New Modules

Add new Ultimate and Rare modules.
To the existing module groups 'Strike (Critical Hit Damage),' 'Luck (Critical Hit Damage),' and 'Firearm Critical Hit Damage,' we've added modules that can enhance Skill Power and Firearm ATK to diversify the selection of weapons and Descendants with low Critical Hit Rate and Critical Hit Damage.

Hayley Skill Modules

Supercooled Kuiper Round: Using the Unique Weapon reduces Firearm ATK and Fire Rate, but increases Weak Point Damage in return. Also, successful Weak Point attacks recover your Shield instead of your MP. The increase in Weak Point Damage decreases on firing the Unique Weapon, but increases again on successful Weak Point attacks.
Cryogenic Cluster Shot: The Cryo effect is changed to Cryogenic. Using a firearm to attack an enemy inflicted with Cryogenic deals additional AoE damage to nearby enemies, making this a useful skill module for clearing out Common monsters.

New Colossus Death Stalker

Added new Hard Difficulty Void Intercept Battle, Death Stalker.
You must successfully intercept Gluttony before you can battle Death Stalker.
Intercept Death Stalker to collect the Distorted Resolve Set, the Invader Set, and the blueprint of the Ultimate Weapon Frost Watcher.

Death Stalker External Components Set

Distorted Resolve Set
2-piece set effect: Increases Firearm ATK when using Assault Rifles or Submachine Guns.
4-piece set effect: Increases Toxic Skill Power proportional to the amount of HP lost, and recovers Shield each time you inflict a debuff on the enemy.
Invader Set
2-piece set effect: Increases Max Shield.
4-piece set effect: Defeating an enemy increases Skill Duration based on the number of stacks, and also increases Tech Skill Power Modifier and Dimension Skill Power Modifier.

New Ultimate Equipment Frost Watcher

Landing a Critical Hit on an enemy from beyond a certain distance grants the Cold Surveillance effect, and hitting the Weak Point of an enemy from beyond a certain distance grants the Subzero Sensation effect.
Cold Surveillance reduces the enemy's Chill Resistance incrementally as it stacks, and Subzero Sensation increases your Chill Skill Power.
Defeating an enemy grants the Chill Synchronization effect, and while under this effect, the Movement Speed reduction due to Hailey's Cold Fury effect is ignored.
