How To Unlock All Characters In The First Descendant

It's a grind to unlock some of them.

The First Descendant gives you the option to pick a starting character at the beginning. After that, there is a very long grind to unlock each and every playable Descendant. This guide lists all the material costs that you need to put towards research in order to unlock all characters in The First Descendant.

After picking the starting Descendant, you will be stuck with him/her for a long time. Bunny will be one of the first characters you will get to unlock quickly in The First Descendant, as her missions start right after the intro mission.

Other than that, you will need to interact with Anais and check if you have the following required items available for each character to research and unlock:

  • Enhanced Cells
  • Stabilizer
  • Spiral Catalyst
  • Descendant Code
