The First Descendant’s Season 1 update brings exciting new content to the game including a fresh Descendant named Hailey Scott. Fans of the looter shooter have been waiting for this ice-themed sniper character since her reveal in the Season 1 trailer. Let’s check out all about her!
The end of August will be so exciting for The First Descendant players and fans because, on August 29th, 2024, Hailey Scott will make her debut alongside the Season 1: Invasion update. Players won’t have to wait long to get their hands on this frosty new addition to the roster.
Hailey Scott comes equipped with a unique set of abilities that set her apart from other Descendants. Her ice-based powers and sniper skills make for a lethal combination on the battlefield. Here is the breakdown of her abilities in the game:
Ability | Description |
Cryo Round | Fires a tracking Cryo Round dealing damage and inflicting the ‘Cryo’ status effect. |
Cold Fury | Hailey’s movement speed decreases but her critical hit rate gets significant boosts. |
