The First Descendant lets you pick your first character from three options at the beginning of the game. One of the three you can choose from is Ajax, considered one of the tankiest descendants in the game. However, if you went with other characters instead, don’t worry, you can still unlock The Liberated Guardian by crafting him after collecting materials. This guide will show you how to unlock Ajax and what his best builds are.
