Superconductivity Thrusters

  • Allows him to fly. When landing, deals damage in an area around his landing zone, consuming all accumulated Magnetic Force. The damage dealt is proportional to the amount of Magnetic Force consumed.

Without a doubt, the best skills for Kyle are Magnetic Bulward and Magnetism Spurt. The latter reduces Magnetic Force when Kyle gets hit by an enemy, saving his Shield and HP. After ending, it restores Shields to nearby allies, and the amount of recovery is proportional to Max Shield. Magnetic Bulwark creates a protective barrier that has a cooldown of 2 seconds and an HP of 50% of Caster's Max Shield. Every time it blocks a ranged attack, it recovers Magnetic Force.

Thunder Cage is an Ultimate Submachine Gun, and you can obtain this weapon very early in the game. It offers many benefits, and it's perfect for fast-paced combat situations. However, be careful because it cannot trigger its effects unless you are killing opponents.

  • Type: Ultimate Submachine Gun
  • Firearm ATK: 24
  • Fire Rate: 666
  • Reload Speed: 1.4 seconds

If you want to defeat your enemies fast and boost Kyle's skills even further, Thunder Cage is your best bet. It's great at close-range combat, and this will help Kyle a lot since he is better at close range as well.

The First Descendant Kyle Best Reactors

Reactors are a unique feature in The First Descendant, and they are some of the most useful items you can find in the game. They influence your effectiveness and overall combat performance, and it's important to remember that you should always choose which Reactors to use based on your character's barrier skills.

In order to get the best results with Kyle, get the Materialized Mixture Reactor to boost his Non-Attribute and Dimension skills. This will enhance the Magnetic Bulward and Magnetic Spurt active skills, and it will allow him to absorb less damage and keep his HP untouched.

Creating the perfect build for any of the characters in The First Descendant is not easy, and there are many factors that we need to take into consideration. One last thing you should never forget about is the External Components.
