The First Descendant has a lot of information for players to familiarize themselves with. A lot of the items in the game are drops that require a lot of grinding to get. This can come in the form of Amorphous Material, Shape Stabilizers, and Energy Activators.
It is understandable that players do not want to have regrets, and will want to avoid making a mistake that could cost them hours of grinding. Luckily, Energy Activators are not something to worry about early on. Players will have ample time to unlock and try out different characters such as Bunny to find their preferred playable character when it comes time to take their Module's Max Capacity to the next level.

How To Get Energy Activators In The First Descendant
Players who do not mind parting with some of their Caliber can buy Energy Activators through the game’s store. However, these can also be obtained without needing to spend real-world money through in-game research. Players can research Energy Activors by speaking with Anais in the hub world of Albion — although this approach requires a lot of materials and 30 hours of research time. Below is a full list of each item and how many of them you will need to have.
- Low-Carbon Activator (55)
- Conductive Metallic Foil (25)
- Heat Plasma Battery (55)
- Polyatomic Ion Particle (72)
- Energy Activator Blueprint (1)
- Gold (750,000)
Players can track these materials by opening the map menu and moving to the Access Info tab. Here they can select Enhancement Material, Energy Activators, move their cursor over the material they need, and then select Tracking On. This can allow players with no intention of spending Caliber to hunt down what they need.
Players that do buy Energy Activators will need to have a total of 1200 Caliber. The amount of real-world money that this costs will vary depending on a player’s region.
How To Use Energy Activators In The First Descendant
Energy Activators are an item that will let players increase the Module Capacity of both the weapons and the Descendants of the game. A single Energy Activator can raise a weapon or a Descendant's Max Module Capacity. Descendants will gain 20, while weapons will gain 30. This is not something to worry about in the earlier parts of the game, and these should not be used on Descendants that gamers don’t plan on playing with for the long haul. Players should focus on first unlocking all the Descendants that seem interesting to them, and giving each of them enough time to know which ones they will want to play with.
Once a player is ready to commit to using their Energy Activator, use these items by opening their Inventory Menu. Look in the bottom left corner and select Descendant Modules. On this page, players will see all the Modules they have collected that can make their characters more powerful. On the top right side will be the Details section. Players will see their total Module Capacity, and how much of this capacity is currently in use. There will be various buttons listed under Module Capacity, including Module Additional Settings. Players will need to select this button to use their Energy Activator to raise their maximum capacity.
How To Farm Energy Activators In The First Descendant
Players will need to get their hands on 5 Intermediate Products in order to research an Energy Activator. These include Low-Carbon Activators, Conductive Metallic Foil, Heat Plasma Battery, Polyatomic Ion particles, and Energy Activator Blueprint.
Players should start researching an Energy Activator once they have enough resources, since it will take 30 hours to complete. Players can farm more resources while one of these Energy Activators is being researched.
Low-Carbon Activators
These can be found in the Fallen Theater: Vulgus Strategic Outpost at the Kingston Location while the game is set on Hard. This item can drop from any monster encountered during this mission. This mission involves destroying various structures while enemies spawn in. This allows players to have plenty of chances to get some of this resource.
Conductive Metallic Foil
These can be found throughout the Vespers Location on both Normal and Hard difficulties. This item can drop from monsters encountered during missions, and players can cycle through these missions to prevent things from feeling stale. These can also be obtained from Encrypted Storage Boxes, but this is only an effective farming method if you have already unlocked Enzo. Making monster drops the better option for players who do not have Enzo.
Heat Plasma Battery
These can be found in theThe Haven and Old Mystery on both Normal and Hard difficulty. Both of these are at the Hegios Location. Like the materials prior, you will get this from monster drops and not by completing missions. Playing Old Mystery will let players progress to a part where the objective is “Destroy the scattered kuiper ore” and enemies will spawn endlessly for 5 minutes. This makes it the most effective way to get the most of this resource in the shortest amount of time.
Polyatomic Ion particles
These can be found throughout the Fortress Location while the game is set to Hard. Out of all these missions, the Command Relay mission in the Frozen Valley will be perfect, as it will just spawn enemies until its completion. Then you are able to replay the mission repeatedly.
Energy Activator Blueprint
This is the only Ultimate rarity item you will need, but luckily you only need 1 of them per Energy Activator. There are many different Amorphous materials you will be able to get Energy Activator Blueprints from. It is best to select one that offers multiple components that you are after rather than one that will potentially give you components you will never need and waste your time. Go to Access Info in your menu, and type “Energy Activator Blueprint” in the search bar. Rare will offer 3% while Ultimate will offer 6%.
This will list all of the Amorphous Materials that will give you a chance of getting it. Find one you like and select Acquisition Info to see which mission you will need to farm to get that material. Fight the relevant Colossi for that Amorphous Material. If you want to increase your odds, be sure to have a compatible Shape Stabilizer for that material.
