If you’ve spent any time grinding The First Descendant’s 2026 endgame content, you’ve almost certainly seen a well-built Bunny wipe entire waves of extraterrestrial invaders in 10 seconds flat. She’s far and away the best speed and shock damage character in the current meta, but a lot of new players get stuck when they try to figure out how to craft Bunny The First Descendant without wasting rare resources. I’ve run the required crafting missions over 40 times with my clan, and tested every possible build tweak to figure out the most efficient path to unlocking her and making her viable from your first solo run to endgame co-op raids.
Pre-requisites You Need to Unlock Bunny’s Crafting Blueprint in 2026
Before you even start farming materials for Bunny, you have to tick a few boxes first, or you won’t even see her blueprint show up in the in-game crafting terminal. A lot of players skip this step and waste hours farming materials they can’t use yet, so don’t make that mistake. First, you need to reach player level 22 and complete the Shock Valley Supply Run main story mission, which introduces you to Bunny’s backstory as a former resistance engineer. Once you finish that mission, you’ll get a pop-up alert that her crafting blueprint is now available for purchase from the Central Hub vendor for 15,000 credits.
Next, you need to farm the following rare materials to craft her:
I’d recommend farming the Shock Core Shards first, because the Juggernaut boss also drops other rare upgrade materials you’ll need for Bunny’s endgame build later. Don’t waste your time running the dungeon on normal difficulty, because the drop rate for shards is less than 20% compared to 80% on hard. If you don’t have a team to run the dungeon with, you can matchmake with random players, but make sure your weapon is at least level 30 so you don’t get kicked from lobbies.
Step-by-Step Process to Craft Bunny Without Wasting Resources
Once you have all the required materials and the blueprint, the actual crafting process is pretty straightforward, but there are a few small choices you can make that will save you hundreds of rare upgrade materials later. First, head to the crafting terminal in the Central Hub, and select Bunny’s blueprint from the character crafting tab. Don’t hit craft right away, though. This is one of the most underrated tricks for anyone learning how to craft Bunny The First Descendant, because the game doesn’t explain the toggle anywhere in the tutorial. You’ll see a small toggle option for pre-apply base stat boosts that a lot of new players miss entirely. This toggle lets you spend 5 extra Shock Core Shards to give Bunny a permanent 10% shock damage boost, which is way better than trying to add that boost later with endgame mods.
So if you have extra shards, always toggle that option on before you hit craft. The crafting process takes 2 hours of in-game real time, but you can skip the wait for 200 premium currency if you want to use her right away. I don’t recommend wasting premium currency on the skip, though, because you can use that time to farm the basic mods you’ll need for her first build. If you’re looking for a full breakdown of the best early game mods for Bunny, check out our 2026 early game Bunny mod guide that breaks down every mod worth using for your first 50 hours with her. Once the crafting is complete, you’ll get a notification to pick her up from the terminal, and you can equip her immediately from your character selection screen.
Common Mistakes to Avoid When Crafting Bunny in 2026
I’ve seen dozens of clan mates mess up their Bunny craft and have to re-farm materials all over again, so these are mistakes you definitely want to steer clear of. First, don’t use your only Modified Speed Processor for any other craft before you make Bunny. A lot of new players see the processor as a generic upgrade material and use it for a weapon mod, then have to wait an entire week to get another one to craft Bunny. That’s a huge waste of time, especially if you’re trying to progress through the endgame fast. Second, don’t craft Bunny on a new account before you hit level 25. Even if you somehow get all the materials early, she’s designed for level 25+ content, and you won’t be able to equip any of her best mods until you hit that level, so you’ll just be wasting resources crafting her too early.
Third, never skip the base stat boost toggle if you have the extra shards. The 10% permanent shock damage boost adds up to thousands of extra damage per second in endgame raids, and you can’t add it later even if you spend premium currency. One of my clan mates skipped this toggle when he crafted Bunny last month, and he had to re-farm all materials to craft a second version of her just to get that boost. It’s not worth the hassle.
How to Craft Bunny The First Descendant for Endgame Viability Right Away
If you want to use Bunny for endgame co-op raids and high-level abyss dungeons as soon as you craft her, there are a few extra steps you can take during the crafting process to make that happen. First, when you’re selecting the stat boost toggle, you can also add 3 extra Synthetic Rabbit Fur to get an extra 15% movement speed boost, which pairs perfectly with her signature shock dash ability. This makes her even faster at clearing waves and escaping boss attacks, which is super useful in raids where positioning is everything. Second, before you even pick her up from the crafting terminal, make sure you have the Shock Chain mod already in your inventory. This mod makes her basic attack jump between 5 enemies, which doubles her clear speed for mob waves. You can get this mod as a random drop from the Shock Valley Abyss dungeon, so you’ll probably pick up a few while you’re farming the Shock Core Shards for her craft.
Third, level up her signature ability "Lightning Jump" to level 3 as soon as you unlock her. This ability lets her dash through enemies and deal shock damage to everything in her path, and at level 3 it also applies a 3-second stun to all enemies hit. That stun is a game-changer for both solo and co-op play, because it lets you stop boss attacks in their tracks and give your team time to deal damage. I’ve used Bunny for every endgame raid released in 2026 so far, and the build I just described works for every single one, even the hardest 8-player co-op raids.
At the end of the day, Bunny is one of the most fun and powerful characters in The First Descendant’s 2026 meta, and she’s worth every hour of farming you’ll put in to unlock her. As long as you follow the steps we laid out, avoid the common mistakes, and prioritize the right stat boosts during the craft, you’ll have a version of Bunny that can carry you through every piece of content the game has to offer.
