Best Ultimate Ajax Modules (Hard)

More Modules can be seen by scrolling horizontally.

This build focuses on increasing HP and DEF to allow Ultimate Ajax to tank a significant amount of damage from bosses and mobs. You will also be adding Shields which will be converted to HP through the Overwhelming HP module. This will ensure that you will get as much HP as possible to further increase his durability and survivability in battle.

Additionally, since you'll also be equipped with modules that decrease Skill Cooldowns, you'll be able to spam the Orbit Barrier and Hypercube abilities to constantly provide protection and support for your team.

Modules Guide: List of Modules

Alternative Descendant Module for Bosses

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.

You can swap out your modules with the ones shown above to extend the duration of your Shield Barrier skills during boss fights. Since most bosses rely on range attacks, your Barrier skills will come in extremely handy to shield yourself from harm, as well as your teammates.

Descendant Module Substitutes for Mobbing

Module Change			Explanation
Weighing the Scales	>	HP Collector	Recommended for mobbing as it recovers HP after defeating an enemy.

It's better to use the HP Collector for mobbing as this module will instantly recover a decent amount of HP for each enemy that you kill, boosting your chances of survival since mobs tend to hit harder in Hard Mode.

Best Ultimate Ajax Weapons and Weapon Modules (Hard)

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

Best Weapon Modules

More Modules can be seen by scrolling horizontally.

The Tamer is best used with modules that enhance the Weak Point Damage stat, since you'll be firing on a boss's vital body parts for the most part. Combine this with modules that also up the effectiveness of Firearm ATK, Critical Hit Rate and Damage, and you'll be killing bosses with little to no difficulty.

The same goes for Thunder Cage, with increased Firearm ATK and Critical Hit Rate, as well as this SMG's ability to discharge Electric Shockwaves, you will be able to clear out large mobs with your weapon's immense firepower.

Best Weapons Tier List

Best Ultimate Ajax Equipment (Hard)

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.

As Ultimate Ajax, you will be taking a lot of damage since you will be taking on the Tank role. Thus, the Annihilation Set will be the most beneficial to you since this set increases the damage of your weapon depending on the amount of HP lost. Meaning the more HP that you lose, the greater the damage that you will be able to do.

Facetank Damage While Attacking a Boss Deploy Barrier Skills at the Correct Time

Facetank Damage While Attacking a Boss

With the Annihilation Set equipped, try to take damage while firing at the boss. The set will increase your weapon's damage the lesser HP that you have.

Deploy Barrier Skills at the Correct Time

Only use the Orbit Barrier skill when a boss is firing at you to reflect the damage back to them. For the Hypercube skill, you can use this when an ally is down as this skill summons a dome-shaped shield which protects you from enemy fire in all directions while you help out your teammate.

Best Ultimate Ajax Weapon and Modules (Normal)

Weapon		Stat Priority
Greg's Reversed Fate		・Firearm ATK ・Firearm Critical Hit Damage ・Firearm Critical Hit Rate ・Weak Point Damage
Best Modules for Greg's Reversed Fate
Sweeping Squad	When defeating an enemy, Firearm ATK +X% for Xs at a X% chance (up to X Stacks).

Weak Point Sight	Weak Point Damage +X%
Better Concentration	Firearm Critical Hit Damage +X%
Better Insight	Firearm Critical Hit Rate +X%
Rifling Reinforcement	Firearm ATK +X%

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.

Best Ultimate Ajax Reactor (Normal)

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

Best Ultimate Ajax External Components (Normal)

Set	Set Effect
Tomb Vanguard Set	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 will be enough to withstand incoming damage in Normal Mode. It also enhances Skill Power to further increase damage of Ultimate Ajax's Expulsion and Void Walk skills.

We highly recommend this set in early game as it is very easy to get, since you will only need to defeat Grave Walker on Common Difficulty.

Ultimate Ajax Exclusive Equipment

Ultimate Equipment, Territory Defense Specialized Battlesuit 'Belief'

The pinnacle of personal defense, the remains of this Ultimate equipment, 'Belief', were discovered in an Ancestors' facility in the Agna Desert. As it stands, they reconstructed as much of it as they could based on those remains and the fragmented blueprints. However, given its overwhelming power, despite its low reproduction ratio, the Magisters speculate that the original version of this Ultimate equipment was fitted with a battlesuit that rivaled that of a Colossus. The problem is, no one knows what defeated the Ancestors who donned such powerful suits.
