Hailey is the latest addition toThe First Descendant’scharacter roster. This cold-blooded sniper uses a massive railgun to obliterate her enemies from a distance, dealing massive damage to Colossi while keeping her teammates safe. She’s an incredibly powerful character in the right hands, but she’s also a royal pain to acquire.
To unlock Hailey as a playable Descendant, you’ll need to research all of her components, But unlike other Descendants who drop from Amorphous Materials or dungeons, Hailey’s components are tied to seasonal content and a fragment system. Before we cover her crafting costs, let’s first explain where Hailey’s components drop from and how her grind differs from other Descendants.
How To Unlock Hailey
Hailey’s crafting materials drop from Invasion missions and certain [Hard] dungeons. Hard mode content is unlocked upon completing the campaign, while Invasion missions are tied to theInvasion seasonal questline.
Unlike most Descendants, Hailey’s components don’t drop as crafting blueprints, Instead, Hailey’s components drop asfragments. When you complete an Invasion dungeon or defeat an Elite monster in a dungeon, there’s a chance you’ll earn a handful of component fragments for Hailey. You’ll need36 of the same fragment type to forge one of Hailey’s components.
On paper, this makes the grind less repetitive since you’re able to play different Invasion missions and dungeons to earn Hailey’s components. In practice, however,Hailey issignificantlymore grindy than other Descendants, rivaling Ultimate Descendants. We highly recommendonly clearing Invasion dungeons for her components. There’s a good chance her components will receive changes in a future patch, so don’t burn yourself out.

How To Farm For Hailey Components
All of Hailey’s components drop fromInvasion dungeons, a seasonal mechanic that adds puzzles to some of The First Descendant’s endgame dungeons. Each day, two dungeons are selected as Invasion dungeons you can play.Each Invasion dungeon may only be cleared twice per day,which means you can clear four Invasion dungeons daily.
Successfully clearing the dungeon will award a Hailey component fragment, but the exact fragment you get is random. The quantity of fragments you receive is also determined by how fast you clear the dungeon.Gold clears award the most components, followed by Silver and Bronze clears.Our very first clear was Silver, and all subsequent clears have easily hit the Gold threshold, so clearing four dungeons with a Gold score shouldn’t be a tall order for most.
You’ll need36 fragments for each of Hailey’s components. Since you get three components per Gold clear, you’re looking at 12 components per day. If you want more, you can opt to farmElite monsters in[Hard] dungeons.The patrol space determines what fragments the Elites will drop:
