The Slayer Set is one of the most sought-after Ultimate Memory external components in The First Descendant. This set can significantly enhance your build, especially boosting your firepower and skill damage, but obtaining all of its components can be quite a grind.
As with most Ultimate sets, obtaining the Slayer Set isn't easy. You'll need to fight the Pyromaniac Void Intercept battle on Hard difficulty, which is one of the most challenging intercept battles in The First Descendant. To help with this, here's a complete guide on how to get this set, and what perks it provides you.

How To Get the Slayer Set in The First Descendant?
To get your hands on the Slayer Set, you'll need to beat the Pyromaniac Void Intercept battle on Hard difficulty. This isn't as easy as it sounds because the Pyromaniac deals a ton of burst damage and has a high health pool, making it quite challenging to beat. To make this grind easier, you should stack Chill ATK modifiers on your weapons since the Pyromaniac is vulnerable to Chill damage. Bringing Descendants like Viessa or Hailey is also recommended for the extra skill damage, or if you prefer a damage-heavy approach, try using Lepic.
You are not guaranteed to get a Slayer Set component every time you beat the Pyromaniac. Therefore, getting the complete Slayer Set can take quite a few attempts and a lot of time.

Best Descendants For The Slayer Set
Now that you know how to get the Slayer Set, you should also know which Descendants are best suited for this set. The Slayer Set works exceptionally well with Descendants, who benefit from increased skill power and magazine size.
Here's a list of the best Descendants in The First Descendant who are fit for the Slayer Set:
- Viessa: Viessa is the top choice for the Slayer Set due to her dependency on skill power and ability to deal consistent damage. The Slayer Set increases her skill power and round capacity, thus making her an even better fit for DPS roles. Additionally, the MP recovery from Towed kills allows Viessa to maintain her skill uptime in prolonged battles.
- Lepic: Lepic’s heavy firepower build synergizes well with the Slayer Set’s bonuses, especially with increased rounds per magazine and skill power. The set’s resource recovery helps Lepic manage his high burst potential, making him ideal for quick, powerful damage bursts during boss fights.
- Sharen: Sharen excels with the Slayer Set because of her long-range attacks and ability to sustain damage. The increased general round capacity and skill power perks help her maintain consistent damage output.
