Here are the three starting characters in The First Descendant:

Ajax

Ajax is the tanky starting character. He has increased health and uses shields to block and return incoming fire. Ajax is very similar to the Titan from Destiny 2. If you like diving headfirst into battle and protecting your teammates, this is the Descendant for you.

Lepic

Lepic reminds us of Soldier 76 from Overwatch 2. He’s an all-around well-balanced character who focuses on dealing the most damage. He can temporarily increase his damage output and can throw grenades. If you just want to shoot things and enjoy watching damage numbers go up, Lepic is the Descendant for you.

Viessa

Viessa is a support character. She uses her Ice abilities to stun and damage enemies. While physically weaker than the other two characters, she can be a valuable ally and a devastating force on the battlefield. If you like to play the game by your own rules, Viessa is the Descendant for you.

If you can’t make up your mind about which character to play, we suggest Lepic. No matter who you play as in The First Descendant, you will need to shoot enemies and do damage, and that’s something Lepic does really well.

Even if you pick Lepic and decide you don’t like him, you can build or buy a new Descendant. Yes, it’s that simple, and it’s one of the main attractions of games like The First Descendant.
