You may look at the 3% chance of obtaining the Lepic Code with disdain. Unfortunately, to get any higher odds,you’ll need to be playing in Hard mode— and even then your chances only improve to 10%.
I’ve chosen the routes to get the other Lepic Core Research Materials as they’re the highest chances you’ll get for reconstruction on normal mode, and they entail missions that areeasy to repeatedly farm.

Lepic playstyle and skills explained in The First Descendant
Knowingall of Lepic’s skillswill help you play with him effectively in The First Descendant, so let’s go over them and his playstyle.
Here areall of Lepic’s skillsin The First Descendant:
Lepic’s skills are very simple and mostly consist of throwing grenades to blow up enemies. With Close Call, Lepic’s playstyle will become dependent onthrowing himself into the thick of itwhilst dealing as much damage as he can.
Being able to buff two of his grenade skills allows Lepic to focus solely on pointing at the enemy and dealing damage — a simple yet effective playstyle,making him beginner friendlyyet still useful in combat.
If you are to play Lepic, you’ll need tokeep yourself wherever the enemies areand litter them with your offensive abilities.
Best Lepic build in The First Descendant
Now that you’re familiar with the playstyle of Lepic in The First Descendant, let’s go over thebest gearfor him.
Best Lepic Modules
The Modules you equip for Lepic will dictate his effectiveness and how strong he performs in battle. Byprestiging himand usingEnergy Activators, you’ll be able to equip more Modules.
Here is a list ofall the Modules I’d recommendfor Lepic:
The best Modules for Lepic are to do withmaking his Skills stronger– as that’s all he’s really got going for him. Increasing their radius and critical hit chance makes his grenades reach further and affect more enemies, clearing more of the field at once.
Ensuring that he has an easier time to use his skills, byreducing costs and increasing MP gain, Lepic will be able to bombard much more often, making him a great asset to his team. Don’t worry too much about his survivability as he can revive with the Close Call passive skill.
To make these Modules even more effective,make sure you’re upgrading them.
Best Lepic Reactor Stats
Naturally, all of Lepic’s skills have Fire attributes, meaningyou’ll want a Burning Reactor, as these ones benefit from Fire attribute Skills.
There are different types of Burning Reactors that pair well with different skill types. Lepic’s Grenade Throw and Overkill skills areTech Skills, and Overclock and Traction Grenade areSingular Skills.
If you want his Singular Skills to receive higher damage, go for aBurning Singularity Reactor. If you want his Tech Skills to receive higher damage, go for aBurning Mechanics Reactor.
I’d personally recommend you go withthe Burning Mechanics Reactoras Grenade Throw and Overkill are both damage-dealing skills. and Overkill is incredibly powerful.
Best Lepic External Components
Equipping thebest External Reactors for Lepicwill ensure that he’s at the top of his game all the time.
Considering that many different External Reactors end up buffing the same stats in The First Descendant, I’ll tell you which ones to look out for andyou can pick the strongest ones:
Considering Lepic has a good deal of health points and can revive through Close Call, I’d suggest youbeef up his abysmal Defenceand increase his max shields to ensure you’re covered.
Alternatively, you could keep increasing his max health points. As he revives, taking advantage of a second pool of health, your +HP External Components aretechnicallydoubled,making them even more effective.
Best Weapons for Lepic in The First Descendant
Lepic may rely on his explosive grenades to fell his foes, however, a great gun willdetermine his effectivenessin battle.
For Lepic, I couldn’t recommend anything other than theultimate weapon Thunder Cage.
The Thunder Cage is a meta weapon at the moment and you’re likely tired of hearing about it, however, its results are hard to argue with. Other than theextra damage it deals to other enemiesthanks to Overcharge, this weapon has a great DPS and a huge damage output. It’s hard to argue with fast and pure power for a Descendant as explosive as Lepic.
For the rest of his loadout, I’d recommend having ashotgun and a scout rifle. Shotguns will allow you to take advantage of the close quarters that Lepic will be in. And the scout rifle will allow you to hit weak points to keep up high damage against specific enemies. As Lepic doesn’t need to be running aroundallthe time, you can get away with some precise aiming.
Now that your Lepic build is the best it can be in The First Descendant, you can go forth and play in style. When you’re ready to move on, however, verify you know how tounlock each Descendantin The First Descendant.
