How to play Sharen In The First Descendant
The share is one must-have character if you like to play stealth thanks to her unique Active Camouflage skill, which gives her invisibility and boosts her damage in ambushes. This skill makes her the perfect choice for infiltrating outposts and taking down elite vulgus without being detected.
If you use her for infiltration challenges, especially on hard difficulty, be sure to do so use Sharen's invisibility to bypass enemy defenses and eliminate elite vulguses and targets. Her ambush mechanic resets the Active Camouflage cooldown after each successful kill, making it much easier to clear most modes that don't have hordes of enemies.
With her cloak skill nearly doubling her damage, The Share can shred through bosses like Colossus and most Elite Vulguses with a maxed sniper rifle. Try to prioritize hitting enemy weak points to get the most DPS, and finish most bosses within minutes.
Although not her strongest color, you can equip AoE weapons that fire on Sharen to deal with crowd control. This is useful when farming resources.
