If you’ve heard the phrase “Do you have something to ask of the great Reina?” somewhere, you probably know who Reina is. You may have encountered her in the Echo Swamp and Agna Desert missions.

While fans have been expressing their desire to play as Reina, some speculate that, like all the other Descendants, she has a trauma that triggers her powers and cannot be awakened until it is triggered. If this happens, Reina could become the next hero of The First Descendant, proving that she’s been in our sights from the very beginning.

If you are wondering about the most current The First Descendant heroes, the full list is as follows:

The First Descendant Draws Intense Interest from Fans

The First Descendant has managed to appeal to a very wide audience since its initial release. The developer and publisher, Nexon Korea Corporation, likely did not anticipate this level of interest, as the game reached 229,000 concurrent players on Steam on its first day.

The main reason the game is so popular is that it offers free-to-play access. Despite some annoying issues, it has generally done a great job. The fact that it broke its own all-time record with 264,000 concurrent players on July 7, just five days after its launch, is a testament to its success.

Although the game is not currently played by as many people as it was in its early days, this may be a temporary situation. It has the potential to reach its previous levels of popularity again and even surpass them.
