You've seen her. Everyone has. That high-voltage blur of gold and white tearing through the Sterile Land or turning the Devourer into a static-filled memory. Ultimate Bunny isn't just a cosmetic upgrade in The First Descendant; she's basically the mascot of the entire endgame. But let’s be real for a second—the farm to get her is absolutely brutal. You’re looking at a 3% drop rate for certain Enhanced Cells if you aren't lucky, and that kind of RNG can break a person’s spirit faster than a Colossus wipe.
Why Ultimate Bunny Changes Everything
Standard Bunny is fine. She's great for clearing mobs. But Ultimate Bunny? She's a different beast entirely because of her exclusive Transcendent Mods. If you're playing the base version, you're essentially playing a demo. The "High-Voltage" mod, which only the Ultimate version can equip, turns her third ability from a chaotic pulse into a targeted strike that hits fewer enemies but with significantly higher damage scaling.
It's the difference between tickling a group of Vulgus and deleting them from the server.
The base stats are better, sure. You get a bit more DEF and HP, which is crucial because Bunny is notoriously "squishy." If you stop moving, you die. That's the rule. But the real value lies in those four crystallization catalyst slots she comes with out of the box. That saves you dozens of hours of leveling and re-leveling just to fit your basic build.
The High-Voltage Meta
Let's talk about High-Voltage. Most players think Bunny is just for "circle farming" in the Kingston defense mission. Wrong. With the right setup, Ultimate Bunny becomes a viable boss killer. By reducing the number of targets from 10 down to 3, the damage multiplier skyrockets. You aren't just a fast farmer anymore; you're a surgical strike team.
Honestly, the sheer speed at which she clears Void Fragments makes her the most efficient "worker" in the game. If you want to unlock other characters like Ultimate Gley or Lepic, you use Bunny to do the chores. It's a cycle. You grind for her so that you can grind everything else faster.
The Grind Reality Check: Amorphous Materials and RNG
Don't let the YouTube videos fool you. You won't get her in two hours. Unless you have the luck of a god, you're going to spend a lot of time in the Echo Swamp and the Agna Desert.
You need four specific blueprints:

- Ultimate Bunny Enhanced Cells
- Ultimate Bunny Stabilizer
- Ultimate Bunny Spiral Catalyst
- Ultimate Bunny Code
The Code is usually the "wall." You’ll likely be farming Intercept Battles against the Pyromaniac or Obstructer on Hard Mode to get the specific Amorphous Materials needed. And even then, once you crack that material open using a Shape Stabilizer, you're still staring at a low-digit percentage chance. It's frustrating. It's tedious. You will probably end up with fifteen Smithereens blueprints before you see one Bunny part.
But there’s a nuance here that people miss. You shouldn't just farm for Bunny. You should farm for the materials that also drop other things you need. If you go into a mission only wanting the Bunny Spiral Catalyst, you’ll burn out. If you go in wanting the catalyst, some gold, and maybe a few weapon parts for the Thunder Cage, the psychologic hit of a "fail" isn't as bad.
Building the Lightning Goddess
Once you actually craft her—which takes 36 hours of real-time research, by the way—you can't just slap on some random mods and expect to win. Bunny scales with Skill Power and Electric Skill Power.
Focus on these:
- Increased HP: Don't be that person who goes down every five seconds. Glass cannons don't work if they're shattered on the floor.
- Skill Expansion: You want that blue ring to be massive.
- Skill Concentration: Crit rate is everything for High-Voltage builds.
- Emergency Measures: More crit, more damage.
People argue about whether to use "Electric Specialist" or "Focus on Electric." Here's the truth: "Focus on" mods give you a bit of cooldown reduction at the cost of a tiny bit of raw power. In the current meta, since Bunny's "Speed Light" (her 2nd skill) and "Lightning Emission" (her 3rd skill) already have high uptime, raw power is usually the better play for clearing Hard Mode dungeons.
The Survival Problem
Bunny's biggest weakness is her dependence on movement. Her "Electricity" resource bar only fills when she's running. If a boss roots you or you get stuck on a piece of geometry (which happens a lot in this game), you lose your damage and your shield recovery.
Expert players use the "Mid-Air Maneuver" grappling hook mod. It allows you to grapple the air itself, keeping your momentum high even in open spaces. It's a game-changer. If you're still using the standard hook, you're playing at half-speed.
Is the Store Shortcut Worth It?
Nexon sells Ultimate Bunny for Caliber. It's expensive. Like, "full-priced-new-game" expensive.
If you have more money than time, sure. But there is a specific pride in wearing that gold-trimmed suit knowing you earned it through the RNG trenches. Plus, by the time you farm her, you'll have collected enough secondary materials to craft several Ultimate weapons. If you buy her, you're just getting the character, and you'll still be weak because you won't have the mods or the weapons to back her up.
Moving Beyond the Hype
Ultimate Bunny is the undisputed queen of efficiency in The First Descendant. She isn't just a "waifu" character; she's a functional necessity for anyone looking to optimize their playtime. She turns 15-minute missions into 5-minute sprints.
However, she isn't the best for everything. In high-level Void Intercept Battles where the boss has massive AOE attacks, a character like Ajax or Gley might actually be more reliable. Bunny requires a high skill ceiling to keep alive when the screen is full of fire and lasers.
To get started on your Ultimate Bunny journey, don't just jump into Hard Mode unprepared. Start by clearing the entire campaign to unlock all the regional outposts. You’ll need the Sharen character to "stealth" certain outposts for a higher drop rate on the Amorphous Materials Bunny requires. Without Sharen, you're basically cutting your chances in half.
Focus on the Echo Swamp Hard Mode missions first. They tend to have the best density for farming the gold and Kuiper Shards you’ll need to actually upgrade the mods once the character is finished. Set a goal for one part per week. It’s a marathon, not a sprint, even if she is the fastest thing on two legs.
