Best Enzo Modules (Hard)

Focus Fire	Mid-Air Maneuvering	Spear and Shield	MP Accelerant	Time Distribution	Shot Focus
HP Amplification	Energy Collection	Skill Extension	Increased DEF	Increased HP	Nimble Fingers

Note: You can scroll horizontally to show more modules.

This build revolves around using the Focus Fire skill with the Smithereens shotgun's guaranteed crits to have a surplus of High-Power Rounds for the Guardian R4.

The other modules focus on survival, cooldown reduction, and MP management. When fully maximized, this build should be able to tank some hits while never running out of explosive rounds to melt bosses with!

Descendant Modules

Alternative Modules for Boss Fights

Module Change			Explanation
Supply Firearm Enhancer			If you prefer using the Tamer to the Guardian R4, this Skill Module will greatly increase your damage output on bosses.
Spear and Shield	>	Any Element Antibody	Bringing a specific elemental resistance will significantly improve survivability in boss fights.

If you prefer Machine Guns or Assault Rifles, it would be advisable to swap Focus Fire with Supply Firearm Enhancer and mod for Skill Duration. Slotting in this alternative skill module also allows you to help supply your allies with ammo since Focus Fire only applies to you.

Since Spear and Shield are slotted mainly for additional defenses, it is best to swap it out for any elemental antibody depending on the boss you are fighting.

Alternative Modules for Mobbing

Module Change			Explanation
MP Accelerant	>	Nimble Fingers	More Skill Cooldown over Duration and MP

Since you will not be able to reliably proc criticals with Smithereens outside of Void Interceptions, it is recommended to swap out MP Accelerant for Nimble Fingers to have more up-time on Focus Fire!

Best Enzo Weapons and Modules (Hard)

Weapon	Substat Priority
Smithereens	• Bonus Firearm ATK (vs. Colossus) • Firearm ATK • Firearm Critical Hit Damage • Round Per Magazine
Guardian R4	• Bonus Firearm ATK Colossus (vs. Colossus) • Explosive ATK • Firearm Critical Hit Damage • Attribute Status Effect Trigger Rate • Any Elemental ATK (Optional)

Best Smithereen Modules

Hit Rate Focus	Bullet Rain	Commando Marksmanship	Action and Reaction	Better Concentration
Chill Enhancement	Electric Enhancement	Toxic Enhancement	Fire Enhancement	Rifling Reinforcement

Note: You can only equip one Bullet Improvement module, so change depending on the enemy's elemental weakness.

Since criticals with the Smithereen are guaranteed, it is recommended to mod it solely with Firearm ATK and Critical Hit Damage. This weapon will be your duration primer for Focus Fire as it will quickly stack up its duration due to the guaranteed criticals.

While it is not your primary DPS weapon, it still packs a punch if modded correctly and sets up your Guardian R4 with enough ammo to transition back to using Focus Fire again!

Best Guardian R4 Modules

Strengthen First Shot	Commando Marksmanship	Action and Reaction	Better Concentration	Recycling Genius
Chill Enhancement	Electric Enhancement	Toxic Enhancement	Fire Enhancement	Rifling Reinforcement

Note: You can only equip one Bullet Improvement module, so change depending on the enemy's elemental weakness.

The Guardian R4 will be your main damage due to one module, Strengthen First Shot. Since the Guardian R4 can only slot in one ammo per shot, Strengthen First Shot's massive 200% Explosive ATK increase is consistently applied every 10 seconds.

The buffed-up ATK stat then also applies to your slotted elemental damage, which significantly increases damage dealt to a colossi. This weapon also has a high base critical chance, so it is recommended to slot in mods that increase Firearm ATK, Reload Time, and Critical Hit Damage!

Weapon Modules

Best Enzo Equipment (Hard)

Equipment	Substat Priority
Materialized Phase Reactor	• Skill Duration Up • Skill Cooldown • Skill Cost • Non Attribute Skill Power Boost Ratio
Annihilation Auxiliary Power	• Max HP • MP Recovery Out of Combat
Annihilation Sensor	• MP Recovery In Combat • Max MP
Annihilation Memory	• DEF • Shield Recovery In Combat
Annihilation Processor	• Item Acquisition Distance Increase Modifier • Max Shield

Note: External Components with set bonuses have fixed main stats.

One thing of note with Enzo is that Skill Power does not define the amount of ammunition replenished. Essentially, it would be better to focus the additional skill power on Dimension for Explosive Drone. For the substats, look for Skill Duration and Skill Cooldown to keep your essential skills for much longer!

As for the External Components, the Annihilation Set is a healthy mix between HP and Defense, so it is the perfect match for Enzo, especially if you reach 40,000 Defense! Furthermore, the set boosts your Skill Duration and incentivizes you to be upfront in the enemy's face. The trick here is to take damage intentionally until your health reaches 50%, then pop Enhance Combat Suit to activate and maintain the effect safely!

Enzo Playstyle Tips

Enzo Playstyle Tips
Prime Focus Fire with Smithereens Use Reload Animation Cancel Get the High Ground Use Explosive Drone to Stun Enemies

Prime Focus Fire with Smithereens

Starting the fight, use Smithereens to quickly stack up Focus Fire's duration. Optimally, you should spend about a whole magazine's worth before switching to the Guardian R4!

Always remember to switch into Smithereens every so often to increase the duration and avoid running out of ammo!

Use Reload Animation Cancel

To counteract the long wait time before being able to reload after firing, you can repeatedly click on the reload button to double your damage output.

Get the High Ground

The Guardian R4 fires shells at an arc, so aiming with it can be a little challenging. It is recommended to position yourself on high ground or continuously jump while aiming your shots. Doing so will help with accuracy problems!

Use Explosive Drone to Stun Enemies

During panic situations where you are surrounded by enemies and low on health, use your Explosive Drone to daze enemies in a pinch! Doing so will get you out of a pinch and possibly get a chance to restore some HP.

Enzo Skills

Passive Skills

Skill	Type Effect
Shoot Support	Grants Fire Support to allies within an area around Enzo, increasing their max ammo capacity. This efficiency of this effect increases marginally with the number of Enzos in the squad. Efficiency increases when Enzo disarms the security of the Encrypted Vault, and rewards increase when this happens.

Active Skills

Explosive Drone	Dimension Launches an Explosive Drone forward. The Explosive Drone explodes on contact with an enemy or a terrain object, dealing damage.
Enhance Combat Suit	Dimension Summons a Shield Recovery Comms. When the Shield Recovery Comms is first summoned, recovers Enzo's Energy Shield by a certain amount, then continues to recover the Energy Shield through Enhance Combat Suit effect.
Perfect Support	Singular Summons a Small Supply Ship to himself and his allies. The Small Supply Ship periodically provides Supply Bullets and grants Perfect Support to allies. The Small Supply Ship attacks enemies in front while it is active, and when the skill ends, it fires a missile forward that causes a big explosion at its destination.

Enzo Exclusive Equipment

Arche Refrigerant Release Drone

The Arche Refrigerant Release Drone is a battle sub-system modified specifically for Enzo. It uses thermal sensors to automatically track down and attack the Vulgus who become colder than their surroundings, i.e. enemies that have been attacked by Enzo.

The drone is linked to Enzo's Arche; when Enzo uses her abilities, the drone is summoned automatically.
Various drone technologies have been researched to enhance Enzo's battle capabilities. The very first fruit of such efforts was the Arche Refrigerant Release Drone. Since then, it became possible to link the Arche of other Descendants to dedicated drones and turrets, and Enzo would sometimes joke that she was what started the Arche drone technology."
