If you’ve just unlocked Dia in The First Descendant and aren’t sure where to start, the latest official video gives you the nudge you need. Community Manager Jason presents several recommended builds designed to help you make the most of her kit from minute one.

Dia is known for her versatility, but as with any Descendant, everything depends on how you approach her setup. The video explores combinations that boost her sustained DPS, options focused on crowd control, and more balanced builds for those looking to adapt to different mission types. The key lies in understanding her synergies and optimizing Modules based on the content you’re facing.

Jason breaks down accessible setups for both new players and those already fine-tuning their endgame. If you’re trying out Dia for the first time, these suggestions will help you avoid common mistakes and better leverage her strengths without wasting time on unnecessary trial and error.

Beyond just the numbers, the goal is to find a build that feels both fun and effective. Mastering a character isn't just about min-maxing stats; it’s about understanding her rhythm and her role within the squad.

The video is live now and could make all the difference in your first few hours with Dia. Now, the question is simple: will you experiment on your own, or do you prefer to start with a solid foundation to unlock her full potential?
