Check out how much damage Ajax can take using our high HP and DEF build!
More Modules can be seen by scrolling horizontally.
This build primarily focuses on tanking damage from bosses and mobs by using modules that greatly increase HP and Defense. You will also be adding a bit of Shields to benefit from Overwhelming HP, since that module basically converts Shields into HP, further boosting Ajax's max health even more.
This set-up also allows Ajax to frequently deploy his Shield Barrier skills as the Nimble Fingers and Time Distribution modules will reduce their skill cooldowns, giving you more chances to summon your defensive barrier skills to defend yourself and your allies.
Modules Guide: List of Modules
Module Change | Explanation | ||
---|---|---|---|
Stim Accelerant | > | Battle of Stamina | Recommended for bossing as this extends the duration of Shield Barrier skills. |
Strong Mentality | > | Focus on Non-Attribute | Increases Skill Power and reduces Skill Cooldowns. |
These alternative modules provide you with more Skill Power and Skill Duration in exchange for Skill MP consumption. These are mostly recommended for bossing where you will want to extend the duration of your Shield Barriers to deflect projectiles from bosses.
Module Change | Explanation | ||
---|---|---|---|
Weighing the Scales | > | HP Collector | Recommended for mobbing as it recovers HP after defeating an enemy. |
For mobbing, you will want the HP Collector since it lets you recover some HP after defeating an enemy, allowing you to tank larger mobs with excellent survivability.
Weapon | Substat Priority |
---|---|
Tamer
(For Bossing) |
• Round Per Magazine
• Bonus Firearm ATK Colossus (vs. Colossus) • Firearm ATK • Weak Point Damage |
Thunder Cage
(For Mobbing) |
• Skill Critical Hit Rate • Skill Critical Hit Damage • Skill Effect Range • Skill Cost |
Mental Focus | Bullet Rain | Weak Point Detection | Concentration Priority | Action and Reaction |
Weak Point Sight | Better Concentration | Better Insight | Fire Rate UP | Rifling Reinforcement |
More Modules can be seen by scrolling horizontally.
For Tamer, you'd want to equip modules that focuses on Weak Point Damage to exploit the weaknesses of the bosses in the colossus. The other modules will also increase its Firearm ATK, Critical Hit Rate and Damage, further strengthening the Tamer and ensure more damage against Void Intercept bosses.
These are not only limited to bossing, but for mobbing as well with the Thunder Cage. The same idea applies, with increasing Firearm ATK and Critical Hit Rate, you will be breezing through mobs with your weapon's excellent firepower.
Equipment | Substat Priority |
---|---|
Materialized Mechanics Reactor | • Non-Attribute Skill Power Boost Ratio • Tech Skill Power Boost Ration • Skill Duration Up |
Annihilation Auxiliary Power | • Max HP
• Fire Resistance |
Annihilation Sensor | • MP Recovery in Combat
• Max MP |
Annihilation Memory | • Def
• Electric Resistance • MP Recovery Multiplier |
Annihilation Processor | • Max Shield
• Toxic Resistance |
Note that External Components with set bonuses have fixed main stats.
The Annihilation Set will increase the damage of your weapon in proportion to the HP you lost. This won't be a problem as it is easily mitigated due to the build's Max HP and DEF. To add to this, the set lets you recover HP at a faster rate, granting you more survivability and to tank for your teammates longer.
The weapon damage increase is important to Ajax since the majority of the damage of this build will come from weapons. Thus, we highly recommend using a good Machine Gun such as the Tamer, as well as a viable SMG such as the Thunder Cage.

Ajax Playstyle Tips |
---|
|
The Orbit Barrier not only shields yourself from harm, but also reflects damage against enemies attacking you. Bosses and mobs usually have a short wind-up animation before firing at you, so you can use that to properly time your barrier shield skill.
You can also use this to revive a fallen ally. If ever a boss has its attention on you, you can deploy the Orbit Barrier as protection while you safely revive your teammate.
With the Annihilation Set equipped, your damage will increase the more HP that you lose. Take advantage of this by taking damage from the boss's attacks while firing at them.
If you followed our build, you should have more than enough HP to survive attacks a lot longer than usual.
In Hard mode, mobs will take a longer time to kill, giving them more chances to form into large groups. When this happens, use Void Walk to leap up in the air and slam yourself on the ground to kill multiple enemies in one blow.

We went with Greg's Reversed Fate as the best weapon for Ajax due to its unique ability to call bombardments, adding mob-clearing potential for Ajax. Since this build for Ajax mainly focuses on defense and crowd control, the main damage source will be from the weapons.
The weapon's modules focus on Critical Hit Rate, Weak Point Damage, and Firearm ATK to instantly kill mobs, and deal high DPS to bosses.
You can also use the Tamer which is a great weapon for mob-clearing and Void Bosses to accompany Greg's Reversed Fate.
Reactor | Stat Priority | |
---|---|---|
Materialized Phase Reactor | ・Skill Power ・Sub Attack Power ・Non-Attribute Skill Boost Ratio ・Dimension Skill Boost Ratio ・Tech Skill Boost Ratio |
Using a Materialized Phase Reactor will give you the most bonus effects since most of Ajax's abilities are Non-Attribute and Dimension skills. For the substats, try to look for Non-Attribute Skill Boost Ratio and Tech Skill Boost Ratio or Dimension Skill Boost Ratio to improve the effectiveness of your skills.
Reactors Guide: List of Reactors
Set | Set Effect |
---|---|
|
2-Set Effect: ・Def +25% 4-Set Effect: ・Skill Power +2.6% ・Electric Resistance +6.6% |
Substat Priority | |
Auxiliary Power | ・Max HP ・DBNO Duration |
Sensor | ・Max MP ・Shield Recovery Out of Combat |
Memory | ・DEF ・Electric Resistance |
Processor | ・Max Shield ・Shield Recovery Modifier |
The Tomb Vanguard Set should increase your defense enough to withstand incoming damage in Normal Mode. It also enhances Skill Power to further increase damage of Ajax's Expulsion and Void Walk skills.
This set is also easily obtainable early in the game, as it's one of the drops from Grave Walker (Common Difficulty).

Alternatively, you can unlock Descendants by purchasing them in the Shop. This method only requires Caliber, an in-game currency that you can buy with real money. Purchasing Ajax in the Shop instantly unlocks the Descendant, allowing you to skip the item requirements and research time.

Orbit Barrier |
Dimension Creates a shield in front of Ajax. Durability increases proportionally to Ajax’s HP and DEF. |
Void Walk |
Tech Leaps into the air and lands on the ground to strike nearby enemies, stunning them. |
Expulsion |
Tech Strikes nearby enemies, knocking them back. |
Hypercube |
Dimension Creates a dome-shaped shield. Durability increases proportionally to Ajax’s HP and DEF. |
The Raley MK.5 Void Energy Battlesuit, named after 'Raley,' the first-ever Descendant, is a military suit developed to explore the Void. A decade later, these suits may be outdated, but as the only remaining suit of this series, it is the perfect equipment for the Descendant known as Ajax, despite it being defective.
Although the suit was damaged, it had absorbed enough Void Energy for Ajax to allow him to manipulate the Void Energy adeptly, by incorporating it into his own spatial theories and Arche. It may have been the cause of Ajax's mishap in the Void, but now it is an impregnable shield that provides powerful barriers and channels kinetic energy."
